Weird, no tag for Wes Marshall -- trying again, because he deserves credit for this! @wesmars.bsky.social

I can't stop thinking about how ‪@wesmars.bsky.social framed it, that cities declare Vision Zero the way Michael Scott in The Office "declared bankruptcy."

Yes! But now I can remind my girlfriend that, really, every bike taking up space in our house has a use. 😂

Blur, while very good, would have been third out of three for me. Elastica and the Neds!

Yup! I sold the one that was fully mine. The remaining one I technically share with my kids. But it tends only to be used for longer trips -- to the burbs or out of town. (Which, imho, is the right use case for a car.)

I've actually had to start mine and run it around the block a bit after I realize it's been sitting for weeks.

I just want to give it my best shot, and the good Lord willing, things will work out.

Eventually it rolls on, and the driver yells out the window, apparently exasperated that I didn't take advantage of his "kindness."

Sir. Just ignore me as if I were a driver who wanted to enter the road. Also? I want you ahead of me, not behind me.

I'm honestly jealous that you have ranked-choice voting, period. That should be everywhere.

The Artist Formerly Known as Zowie Bowie for the win, 100%.

You don't even have to do every one of them. Just, say, every third or fourth one. 😈

But high-speed police chases are only part of the toxic pattern on Atlanta streets, which enable too many drivers to drive at high speeds.

A recent AJC article by Michael Scatturo points this out: www.ajc.com/news/health-...
The cost of speeding in Atlanta: Death, injury, destruction
The influx of cars from around metro Atlanta has increased the odds that pedestrians will be struck and killed.
