Co-Founding member of the Denver Bicycle Lobby. I ride around Denver a lot. Just trying not to get squished 🚫🚴♂️💥🚙 (he/him)
- Spotted this in a hotel window display and I don't think they know what that white bike means to many people.
- Replying to @GoVern2018Design worked correctly actually. Cyclists remain protected from bad driver 👍.
- "My kids would be late to school every day" That's a you problem. Leave earlier.
- Or maybe don't purchase a land boat for travel within citiesCybertruck rear-wheel steering will make this vehicle much more livable in cities.
- I remained baffled at these PSAs. If the pedestrian is in a crosswalk & has the right of way none of this matters Are they just erasing blind & deaf users & would they say the same thing to them? Why are these like a cancer in DOTs? What school did they all go to for bad ideas?Eyes up, phones down! Pedestrian safety starts with attention. Stay alert and avoid distractions while walking. Your safety is in your hands! 📵 #PedestrianSafety #Crosswalk
00:00 - Sport cyclists hating on protected lanes is real dumb. They aren't meant for Strava KOMs and you can always take the lane if you want to race. The family on a cargo bike though is another story. This is why "I'm an avid cyclist but" is such a red flag 🚩
- I honestly don't understand how someone thought a car cruise was the right choice hereA memorial car cruise is being planned Sunday to remember 13-year-old Alex Mackiewicz, a Highlands Ranch seventh-grader killed at an intersection last week rb.gy/1f2dzn
- No I don't think we should have a mechanism for a neighborhood veto on bike lanes that will connect multiple neighborhoods, allow safer commutes to school, support business, etc. They should be seen as standard infrastructure that we just build like gutters and sidewalk ramps.
- Beliefs I wish I could crush: *The parking in front of your home is yours *Free parking is good for a city *Density harms the environment *Widening roads helps *You can "solve" congestion *Bike lanes cause traffic, harm business or emergency response *Driving is a right
- An actual conversation I just heard: "You still use your truck for truck shit?" "Nah, too high up" So what is it for then?
- Just for some context we are one of the few countries that allows this. It's not normal & it has contributed to a more dangerous road space. I think some can't imagine it another way because it's all they've known, but it was a bad idea in the 70s & it's smart policy to change itThere's a push to ban all right turns on red across the city of Denver to reduce pedestrian deaths after Colorado’s deadliest year on the road for pedestrians and cyclists denver7.com/news/local-new…
