it's taken a long time, probably too much, to get to this point, but i'm out of here. hope the guy that owns this website continues to break records for losing money.

@mayormcginn my prior assumption would be that these vehicles would be good at not crashing into people because that's relatively simple and bad at not blocking fire trucks (and buses and whatever else) because that's a relatively complex scenario where the normal rules of traffic change

(i mean it wasn't such a good day when i gave that presentation on the treaty of versailles but it's usually a good day)

always a good day when i learn of another illinois city that's pronounced differently from the city it was named after

@Qagggy needing to change what side of the road you're on to continue along the road is usually a symptom of bad bike network design

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

seattle has had the good sense not to open lanes like this until the signaling is done ...

but i did have someone driving their crew-cab truck out to the bar last night accelerate straight at me when i took my turn at 9th/john. non-regulars don't expect the diagonal movement!

[Alex Danilowicz @alexdanilowicz]

I’m a proud SF cyclist. Always will be.

But this new diagonal bike lane on 23rd & Valencia is a failure and dangerous.

I was recording because I have a genuine question for @sfmta: what do you expect to happen when the light turns green?

which mlb team has had a pair of players homer in the same game, with one player's last name fitting inside the other, the most times without ever appearing in a world series?

[Alex Mayer @alexmayer34]

Mike Ford & J.P. CrawFORD: first @Mariners to homer in the same game, with one player’s last name fitting inside the other, since Al Martin & Edgar MARTINez homered on Aug. 18, 2000.

@WarrenJWells imo speed humps are the prime example of "biking here sucks, that's how they let you know it's safe"

(lest you think this is some roadie nonsense, my one bike has 2" tires and i have some kind of guitar on my back maybe a third of the time i'm riding)

(idk this was kind of a dumb irony-poisoned way to say ... we all kinda have to put our trust in people promising us things we don't totally understand to live life ... i'd never do this or climb everest or go to space but ... it's not like i don't get it at all)

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

(i would be absolutely jumping to talk shit about people with too much money putting their lives in the hands of careless and unqualified people but ... i am an american that rides a bike to get around, so ... glass houses ...)

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

i have to wonder if part of the rise in pedestrian deaths since 2010 is related to rises in poverty and precarity in american suburban and rural areas putting more people on foot in places where planners and designers gave very little thought to it

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

why are so many new bike routes in seattle so difficult to turn off of? it's been a pretty consistent blind spot at @seattledot for like the last decade!

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

it's very funny to me that @WaterfrontSEA put this sign along elliott that says "SOUTH BOUND BIKE PATH" because we really could use some signage noting stuff that isn't obvious like where to turn off to head toward pike place vs the waterfront but this one is just like ... yeah

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

i'm not mad tho .. i'm mad about the total lack of thought to how we're supposed to turn left starting from the right-side PBLs when there are no turn boxes. if it's "use sidewalk/crosswalk space", well, sorry to say, the grading makes that unusually hard and it's set in concrete

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

how do you do fellow large language models

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

@UrbanistOrg (the western/alaska couplet already needs turn boxes it doesn't have so i'm not optimistic here)

@kelseyhightower @kevdog most investors aren't dweebs that fancy themselves day-traders, they're people that accept that they don't know anything and stick their money in diversified funds ... "money go up" plenty for that unless "money go 1929", which we try pretty hard not to do (except crypto)

[exactly 7 accents @Exactly7Pandas]

@Pflax1 years ago a similar thing happened to me in chicago, also a driver with a dog in the passenger seat ... she said outright that she didn't see me ... i was struck dumb
