Do I live in a great neighborhood, or what?

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

This year 4,726 Denver residents received a $400 rebate off an e-bike or a $900 off an e-cargo bike (low-income residents can get more).

According to a city survey, recipients say their new e-bike/e-cargo bike is replacing 3.4 car trips per week(!).

These maps make me appreciate that intercity rail in the US seems better than that in Canada or Mexico. Have I missed something?

[John Greenfield @greenfieldjohn]

In fairness, the U.S. rail passenger system is pretty good for getting to and from Chicago.

50% of Canadians live south of the red line

In case you’d been concerned….

[MountRainierNPS @MountRainierNPS]

Mount Rainier is NOT erupting. We have looked at the cloud that has caused concern from multiple webcams and have determined that it is a lenticular cloud. In addition, the USGS reports no indications of unusual seismic activity. ~pw

“No U.S. diplomats have been killed this year, anywhere in the world,” he said. “But three U.S. State Department officials have died in the Washington area — all hit by vehicles. Two have been hit on bikes. One was right here.”
