Not me sporting my BikeSD cap at the Padre game. Totally me.

They never don't look painfully stupid

NEW STUDY found that “the growing number of SUVs reduced the vehicle capacity of freeway lanes in Minnesota’s Twin Cities by 9.5% between 1995-2019. Their findings suggest yet another way in which ‘car bloat’ exacerbates problems that affect everyone, regardless of how they travel.”

If you want blood, you've got it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

San Diego is making efforts to improve street safety , including updating their street design manual to consider all users. But ABC 10News has reported in the past on the City falling short of its vision zero goals. @jakegotta.bsky.social

I see you, lovely lime green chariot

Happy San Diego Saturday from Route 10 <---- a real one

I re-named my favorite WhatsApp group to Who Needs Action When You Got Words.

Today in Little Italy, San Diego

Driver struck and killed a 36-year-old man riding his bike in the bike lane of Balboa Avenue in Clairemont. Driver then fled the scene. Vehicle described as light colored possibly gray 2016-2022 Mercedes Benz E class sedan with front end damage. #VisionZero

Talk about it all. Car bloat accomplishes nothing, helps no one.

"Ya me and the guy pouring were going OFF on Santa Ynez AVA." My buddy: "The most Marisa thing to go off about."

Love falling asleep to freight train.

Watch. And learn.

My wife was hit exactly like this 2 weeks ago in an intersection between a protected bike lane, on our kid’s birthday who was riding with us on my bike. I got hit 6 months ago, driver made an illegal u-turn behind a blind corner into me. Both drivers at fault, hit and runs, no payment for repairs.

can anyone who's good at weekdays tell me if tomorrow is friday

People just want to walk and ride their bikes without being crushed by cars

nautical twilight bike rides = therapy.

"It is in the highway lobby’s interest to propagate the myth that [car fees like the gas tax] cover all the impacts of driving, but that has never been true and is becoming ever less so." @ucsdave.bsky.social

I'm so over seeing the 2 battle hard to reach its bus stop on the north side of Upas simply because car drivers can't fathom not blocking bus+ bike infra.

happy retrograde.

My toxic trait is taking forever to update the stove clock after a time change.

San Diego Symphony hall today compared to its Fox Theater past.

Cities do change, if there is vision & actions. Leadership. Vittoria-Gasteiz in Spain was sprawling out of control until... they stopped all land expansion. All pop. growth had to be on existing footprint, 5-8 floors along all arterials. Walk, bike, & public transit: priority #1

San Diego institutions will spend millions to avoid asking people to take the bus.

A driver failed to yield to a pedestrian attempting to cross 6th Avenue from Balboa Park into Banker’s Hill. The crash left the victim with life threatening injuries — a severe brain bleed and fractures to his leg and pelvis. #VisionZero

While at #SDMOA today we also saw the Norman Foster exhibit that contains a model of the museum’s new west wing. I learned that the plan includes yet another parking facility in the center of #BalboaPark.

Hopeful, powerful stuff ⤵️⤵️
