A potent combination

🚨 🚨 Light rail / subway train shaped concrete barriers 🚨 🚨

Amazing to see NYC DOT just straight up saying over and over that a project is worth doing solely on the basis of street safety. Ignoring the haters. Not even paying lip service to anything else. Just saying safety is the goal and nothing else is important enough to delay. Aspirational.

We really need to get to the bottom of why people with fantastic wealth aren't simply wandering off to enjoy their extravagant lives in peace...

It happened again

🚨 URGENT BULLETIN TO ALL NASHVILLE SICKOS 🚨 If you see a painted bike box at any intersection, that intersection needs to have a No Right on Red sign to prevent cars from pulling through the bike box. If there is not a NROR sign, Hub it and Metro will fix it quickly!

Our built infrastructure robs kids of their freedom of independent mobility. Streets are dominated by oversized vehicles, piloted by aggressive and distracted drivers where one mistake can turn lethal. We sacrificed child development to subsidize the auto industry.

Case Keenum reminding everybody what kind of gunslingers the Big 12 was producing back in the day

Took @nashvillebcycleops.bsky.social to McDougal's for lunch and saw a bike locked up to a sign outside. Figured there must be somebody I knew in there, and sure enough... had a delightful lunch with local legend @benvaught.bsky.social! Bikes support a level of community that cars could never.

I think I am susceptible to AI psychosis, but in the very specific way where if I ask it enough questions about why football teams don't deploy multiple offensive players that can throw and run well, it will convince me that I am the next Ben Johnson with my two QB playbook

Happy first fare free Sunday to all those who celebrate

Quick poll: Have you ever physically been to Wasioto Park?

If you're ever debating whether it is worthwhile to make time for the gym in your weekly routine, just know that your ass might be posted in the NY Times without your consent. Don't gotta get ready if you stay ready, I'm learning.

It should be celebrated that in an era where transit funding crises are putting entire systems in major cities at existential risk, Nashville just keeps improving transit year after year, even before we had a dedicated funding source. Can’t wait to see what these numbers look like in 2030 or 2040.

I’ve seen enough. He’s earned my vote.

🚨 🚨 CONCRETE CAPSULE PROTECTED BIKE LANES 🚨 🚨

Them: “People must be allowed and incentivized to pilot several thousand pounds of their personal property into downtown so they can access businesses and amenities.” No they don’t. You just made that up.

Everyone should be able to walk/bike across the street without fearing for their life. Yet Nashville continues to see pedestrians killed while crossing our roads. No turn on red is a proven step that can help prevent these tragedies. We’ve studied the issue long enough. It’s time to act.

The people have spoken. I'll see you and your babies there. (the entire city is invited.)

Truly an unfortunate time for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County to be going hat in hand to these freaks asking for money to support the kinds of things they are publicly renouncing in their official guidance 😅

Really unfortunate that Nashville’s first major initiative to rebuild our streets for safety, livability, and choice coincides perfectly with these short sighted federal chuds holding the money bags

🚨 🚨 MODULAR CONCRETE BIKE LANE BARRIER CURBS 🚨 🚨

What the owner of the New York Knickerbockers is doing to his own fanbase ahead of tonight's game will replace whatever example is currently used for the "Own Goal" entry in the dictionary. As an interested but detached third-party, I can't wait to see what happens!

Mood

@nashvilledot.bsky.social, a few days of targeted enforcement might do the trick! Go get your revenue, y’all!

Friends! I’m in NYC until Thursday. What should I do or see?

The federal government has overstepped this time

Hot downtown cycling take: I’m fine with parents parking in the Commerce bike lanes to drop off their kids at daycare, as long as there is room for me to maneuver around and stay within the cycle track.

Entirely correct in her analysis

Check this upcoming ride out!

TN bike people! I need to say goodbye to my vintage Santana tandem. Late 90s. Campy 3x8. My daughter prefers riding her own bike now and it gets little use. It's worth something, but I mostly just want to get it to somebody who will ride it. Small kids can ride with an adapter.

What nobody is telling you about the new greenway boardwalk: it smells INCREDIBLE! Totally different aromatic experience than the ped bridge or the paved greenway below.

Look, I love trains as much as the next guy, but somebody has obviously been taking it too far…
