I'm back here for a sec to encourage anyone who is thinking about Mastodon to go ahead and make the jump. Particularly for academia / urbanist networking purposes, I'm finding enough of the same faces, also new ones, to make a viable network. I'm at @[email protected]

Check out Paul Bonesteel’s “Shadow of a Wheel,” a four-part documentary that explores the ride through both retrospectives and a bevy of original footage. The series will air on PBS, with a premiere date scheduled for next spring.

So much good stuff in this adventure! Pittsburgh's the city I'd move to if I was in my 20s. That's for sure!

The IL Sup Crt yesterday announced that it will reconsider its infamous 1998 holding in Boub v. Township of Wayne that greatly limited when an IL municipality can be liable for injuries to a bicyclist caused by a road hazard. It will take up the matter in Alave v City of Chicago.

I am super ambivalent about CyclingSavvy. I think many riders would benefit from that sort of education but the vehicular cycling underpinning are disturbing. Riders benefit from learning how to assert themselves but it often turns into advocacy against making roads safer.

On this day in 1966 - The federal Trails for America Plan was released. It was primarily concerned with hiking trails but did give some attention to the newly emerging interest in biking.

NEW: @USTradeRep will continue all #Section301 tariffs, including on bicycles and bicycle products.

As inflation rises, tariffs don't help bike companies invest in the U.S. They only burden the industry and pass price increases off to consumers.

O-M-G this is fantastic. Norcliffe, Buliung, Kruse, and Radford with a very well-theorized and thoughtful piece of scholarship that just totally blows past the "bikes are ableist" canard. Throughout history, bikes have been for those who need them. https://t.co/yldTd4j1gK

Our new working paper finds bicycle laws across the U.S. often fail to improve safety while leading to harmful over-policing that disproportionately punishes Black, Latine/x, low-income and unhoused bike riders. 🧵
