Four years ago Portland, OR reduced the speed limit on residential streets to 20 mph -- and driver behavior barely budged.
Moral of the story: Adjusting speed limits isn't enough to change driver behavior; you need to fix street design, too.

Patient: my balls hurt when I bike ride.
Me: what shorts are you wearing?
No I don't wear shorts.
Pants?
I only ride naked.
OK. Wear bike shorts & Hang a photo of your scrotum & a sign "my Urologist made me wear shorts" so you don't get eschewed from the naked bike gang.
E-bikes should be allowed wherever bikes are. This whole thing is ridiculous but fill out the survey if you haven't, answer yes on questions 8 and 9, and feel free to leave them some copious comments. Deadline is the 30th. https://t.co/1b4MYwabTB
