Glad to see Connecticut stepping up to help Thanksgiving travelers by increasing service on the Hartford Line…especially considering how stressful and tenuous air travel has been.

This level of servitude to the Car Czars is kinda pathetic, ya’ll. Saddest of all, we don’t really choose it.

Bazardo hung a slider in the middle of the plate to a guy they shouldn’t have even pitched to. That decision will be remembered in Seattle the way Boston looks back at the ball that went between Bill Buckner’s legs in the 1986 ALCS. Red Sox fans can relate, Seattle. @redsox.com @mariners.com

Riding a bicycle in America is a fundamentally queer activity. I Ride with Pride!! But it’s not necessarily communist.
We are once again asking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to come on The War on Cars podcast.
Mamdani did ride bikes with the Daily News back to his office after his M57 outing.

A woman he rode by shouted "communist" at him repeatedly.

Mamdani said he wasn't surprised by the heckling because Trump keeps "incorrectly" calling him that:

It’s not your fault we have these terrible car-based school pickup/dropoff lines. But it’s our kids problem if we keep them.

The more kids are invited to bike, walk and take public transit to school, the safer, healthier and smarter it is for EVERYONE. It’s shocking how much vehicle congestion in cities is actually “driven” by trips to and from schools. #BackToSchool #LetKidsBike #LetKidsWalk cartoon by Yehuda Moon

If not for Chicago, we might not have Labor Day.

Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for a much longer video where I dive into the history of unionization, violent strike suppression, and workers’ victories in Chicago, and how they impacted workers across the country.

FINALLY, someone pushing back on the e-bike moral panic:

“What Connecticut needs is a Safe Systems approach — a philosophy that accepts people will make mistakes and designs the transportation system so that those mistakes don’t result in serious injury or death.”

Some quick thoughts on what is rapidly becoming—maybe not unexpectedly—a moral panic about e-bikes in Connecticut. 🧵/

CT sees ‘explosion’ of injuries and increase in deaths from bikes and e-bikes. ‘An alarming trend’
“We want to relate to parents that e-bikes carry risks that are significantly greater than the standard bicycle,” an ER doctor said.

NCAT is accepting applications through Aug 15 for our next Director of Education. It's a great role for someone passionate about youth and adult cycling instruction and making New Haven an even better place to walk, (e)bike, ride the bus or use micromobility.
