🤣
You've motivated me to re-watch hahaha
"Pop quiz, hot shot!"
I love taking San Diego transit to shows because I can zone out listening to music as a pre-show hype-up while someone else drives.
Once you accept that the fact that all other modes besides cars benefit from extra space beyond the sidewalk it becomes clear that the current standards for bike lane design are inadequate in urban areas. The 5' separate lane isn't great for urban areas with a broad array of user speeds.
Horrible
This makes me SO happy. CicloSDias are the best Días! sdbikecoalition.org/full-calenda...
Air conditioned MTS buses are my love language.
This bank of the Seine in Paris was a former expressway. The good consequence is that there are ramps originally made for cars to access it, not just stairs or old cobblestones ramps. And then you can see people in wheelchairs in the crowd there, like in this photo.
Opponents of lower speed limits in cities often argue that they would actually increase emissions. But it's actually a lot more complicated than that. This study looks into it properly and finds that they can reduce emissions by 10% doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...
Join us for the National City ride Sunday, September 14th at 10a! We're riding with the Vice Mayor and couldn't be more thrilled to have such a distinguished guest showing off all the great bike / ped projects in their city. Please RSVP here: www.eventbrite.com/e/apbp-natio...

A two-car garage becomes a tea shop and 4 floors of homes on Morgan St, JC
Watching people with red lightsabers run to catch the red @sandiegomts.bsky.social Trolley is cute.
Another 5 mph reduction University Avenue in Hillcrest!
The moon rising rapidly today as if to distract us in the healthy way
I had a friend successfully do this several wars ago, so it’s possible.
Support @lataco.bsky.social before, now, and always 🖤
Earth will be a different place before 2030 is even reached. www.newscientist.com/article/2481...
Study on London 20 mph limits shows: - collisions ⬇️ 35% - casualties ⬇️ 36% - fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34% - child casualties ⬇️ 46% - child deaths ⬇️ 75% - walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28% etsc.eu/20mph-limits...
San Diego City Council just voted 5-2 to approve a major package of parking policy reforms, including: 🅿️ dynamic pricing at meters during special events 🅿️ streamlined creation of new meter zones 🅿️ easier creation of residential parking permit zones 🅿️ charging on Sundays*
The planet will survive. We will not.
Thank you for conserving water
Today a silver Mercedes-Benz drove behind me in the painted bike lane as close as they could on PacHwy just north of Sassafras until another driver honked at them to quit that. Motor violence in San Diego is real.
Maybe the zoo could use more than one bike rack?
Nobody rides bikes in North Park.

sky blue transit wayfinding for bluesky
Just a coy San Diego transit photo nbd.
A body of research supports the fact that curb stops and even flex posts are effective in limiting incursion from vehicles into the bikeway and reducing collisions by 50% on average. If similar reductions aren't occurring on Coast Hwy in Cardiff it's likely due to the design and target design users
Green Line Trolley is now 15 minutes all day everyday, but the digital arrival signs still have not received the memo, sadly.
The neighbourhood includes this great conversion of a former grain silo into a 17 storey residential building by COBE architects.
Nice seeing MTS Passenger Support staff out at Old Town Transit Center on this fine Saturday. Look for the Trolley red windbreakers if you need transit riding help!
I was already on my way downtown when my buddy sent me the 4:22pm(!) email about our tickets. We're still getting dinner. Maybe I'll suggest bacon dog.
Sick of people using cars as weapons.
Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.
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.”
'Twas beautiful on Broadway today 🚍
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
Thank you, Pavilions.
I see you, lovely lime green chariot
The cone at mine is gone. Hazard persists. I'll re-report.
Happy San Diego Saturday from Route 10 <---- a real one
I had a similar experience recently. A cone with sign put up immediately but the hazard still needs to be removed. It was the remaining piece of a no pedestrian crossing sign post very similar to your photo. My friend almost ate it was close!
I re-named my favorite WhatsApp group to Who Needs Action When You Got Words.
Hahahaha. We wish!
Today in Little Italy, San Diego
The ten is my jam!
I love getting breakfast at Sub, sitting outside, and watching all the people on bikes go by.
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
The 'shard stops' of Kazakhstan. So called because they used reclaimed pottery, from the Kapchagai Porcelain Factory, to decorate the bus stops with intricate mosaics. More here: shamrandy.livejournal.com/50054.html www.monumentalalmaty.com/mosaic-bus-s...
Stella?
Talk about it all. Car bloat accomplishes nothing, helps no one.

Ahh 1 to 1!
Ha you know me well.
"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.
ahem!

"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
Ughhghhggggh
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.
R&B style ending wasn't for me but overall it was good. Crowd management in the lobby was wild. At any given time we lost 1 to 2 people from our group, I felt like an elementary school teacher trying to track student whereabouts on a field trip.
How did you enjoy Mister Hackman?
San Diego Symphony hall today compared to its Fox Theater past.
So. We'll at least have 25 years of Panama by your helpful estimate?
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 ⤵️⤵️
San Diego Trolley Nights.
Councilmember Jen Campbell held up a picture of an ADU development in Clairemont yesterday as an example of poor design. I was at that exact ADU complex on Friday and spoke with a tenant, Sarah Agudo. She told me she loved her home and is glad it got built. My latest: www.kpbs.org/news/politic...
Campbell mourns the construction of 10 homes on "what used to be a backyard." And yet somehow, there's still a backyard! Sarah said it was "the winner."
Bowery Electric.
New moons may symbolize complete and utter depletion from which we need to overcome and rebuild. We're now 28% in which is encouraging!
