I make cool projects and create content about (mostly) technical topics. I also rant way too much about making it remotely possible to get around without a car. 🔗 https://isaaccorbrey.com 📍 Fort Wayne, Indiana

#cargobike all loaded up for my wife’s art show tomorrow. Using this bike is so much more practical for stuff like this than a car. She can pull right up to her booth, unload, and just leave it with her. @regrain-studio.bsky.social @americanfietser.com

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Those beautiful domes.

Two new orders for friends! For next time, I found a hack to use driveway markers from your hardware store. Same thing but cheaper and local. The flat can be homemade!

Guys how do I tell TMJ I didn't consent

Still upset over my bike getting stolen a couple months later. Is there any hope of seeing it again? How do I trust where I had it stored to keep anything safe in the future? Idk I'm in a bad headspace over it.

There’s a story both enabled by Motonormativity and bicycles A kid from the neighborhood doesn’t have the smoothest home life. It’s so hard these days. Riding to school, we met him walking in tears back home. We stopped to talk to him and I gave him a hug. He said he was not feeling well. 🧵

Why we do need bike lanes in parks ⬇️ Pickup truck drives on the wrong side of the road to pass the SUV behind me, nearly colliding with oncoming traffic. #safestreets #bikesky

The sidewalks and bike lanes in Fort Wayne right now are an absolute disaster. I just rode to the library and back and no less than half of my route went over and through snow drifts and thick sheets of ice. We can absolutely do better than this. #bikesky #fortwayne

We're at levels of delusion never before seen.

"the only problem they solve"

It can murder people on foot, on bikes, and destroy public infrastructure, but it's no match for snow. The weight of the ego is simply too much.

How did they not deflect off of the flex posts?! You mean those things won't protect a person from vehicular homicide?

The first person that comes up when you share this has to move to Chicago with you

It's remarkable how quiet a city becomes for those hours that Mother Nature forces its car lane network to experience the "connectivity challenges", that its bike lane network experiences daily. #HamOnt #SnowStorm

So, Vehicular Cycling What is it, and why do you need to know about it? It's key to understanding why roads are like they are, how to survive on them, and why we need change Here's a thread I'm preserving from Twitter 🧵

Here's a quick-start cheat sheet for becoming engaged with the built environment, the community, and the government in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We call it the Action Menu. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If the Dutch can put a bike lane here, we have no excuse for not putting them anywhere.

I was at the shops for some groceries when I got the notification that the punctured car tyre was fixed, as it was just around the corner I picked it up on the way home. 😁#carryshitolympics

This flag almost caused another accident! The head on collision was nearly avoided. Without this flag, the car behind me would have passed too close. By “caused” I’m referring to how I “forced” another car to double yellow pass on an uphill blind corner with @sharrows.bsky.social road markings.

Vehicular Cycling didn't work for bikes, it won't work for ebikes.

Shout out to Three Rivers Active Streets! I want to get more urbanist conversations going for my hometown of Fort Wayne and they're a pretty awesome org. @threeriversactive.bsky.social

Join us at Electric Works on March 8th from 3-5pm for an exciting event on Fort Wayne’s Complete Streets initiative. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversation and help shape the future of our streets. We’ll also have our shirts available for those who requested one.

People are discussing this as if we are talking about sharing Dutch style sidewalk grade bike lanes, when most of our bike lanes look like this:

hey, lame dudes stealing bikes that belong to kids is shitty don't be shitty. fix this. give them back. -> www.instagram.com/p/DGEsDzDyRz... #yycbike #calgary @youthenroute.bsky.social

lmao

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally.
 Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. theconversation.com/car-tyres-sh...

Thanks, asshole. Didn't get a picture of it, but later this guy was parked right in front of the accessibility ramp. Some people have zero respect for anyone else.
