Just call your local Soros Foundation™ office and let them know you’ll be there! I called and they Venmo’d me $1 million to show up in a frog suit!! 🐸🪧
Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

This is a great look at some of the reasons behind the crap pedestrian and cycling infrastructure we have in the US.

This is a great look at some of the reasons behind the crap pedestrian and cycling infrastructure we have in the US.
Amazing how this is covered. “Electric motorcycle” - was it an ebike or a motorcycle? “Both vehicles” - are e-bikes and trucks the same? “Allegedly ‘violated’ the girl’s right of way according to SDPD” - he was turning left.
2 kids. If only we had a way for teens to get places without cars.

Teen driver, 16, hits teen girl, 13, on e-bike in Black Mountain Ranch
Both vehicles were facing circular-green signal lights at the time, but the driver of the pickup allegedly "violated" the girl's right of way, according to the San Diego Police Department.

@obcycler.bsky.social You'll be pleased to know that the intersection of Harbor and Market is "per plan" and the traffic signs are A-OK.
Isn't that wonderful? 👍😜🤣

Took a fall today in the bike lane on 30th St in North Park thanks to one guy partially blocking the bike lane and then another guy navigating by him to turn into a driveway cutting me off, forcing me to stop short and go down. Bumped and bruised, but ok.

Ugh.
A new CDC report shows that pedestrian deaths fell across the rich world 2013-2022 -- but not in the USA.
Americans were 50% more likely to die walking in 2022 than they would have been in 2013.
By 2022, the US was more deadly for pedestrians than all other countries studied.

Is San Diego EVER going to fix the intersection at El Cajon and Park Blvd? A pedestrian killed last year. Nothing changed. Today, 2nd crash into the dog park in 9 months. Car crashes frequently. People & dogs walk & bike here daily. More will be killed.
