@natalia_barbour @ActiveTowns Many are going 15-20 mph with other bike path traffic going the same in opposite direction. Many very inexperienced. Nobody insured. Be careful!
@mayormcginn More people are driving because buses and walking have become scary and unsafe. Too many belligerent drug addicts on the buses, and lining the streets between bus stop and office. We need to enforce existing drug possession laws, and stop allowing free riders on Metro.
@NWSSeattle We used to call this a “silver thaw” in my youth, but my wife said she never heard of a silver thaw. I can report it’s a silver thaw in Magnolia.
@badarahmed@AmericanFietser You are less likely to be harassed by belligerent drug-addicts and street criminals if you wear a yellow or orange vest — Based on my personal experiences and survival experiments in downtown Seattle.
@mayormcginn The freeway construction separated the famously sung about intersection of “12th Street and Vine” from the historically thriving black neighborhood near 18th and Vine. (Beatles, Muddy Waters, “I’m going to Kansas City . . . “) A museum there tells of what was lost.
@mayormcginn Check your homeowners or renters policy for liability coverage while riding your ebike. Your insurer may say it is excluded as a “motorized land vehicle.”
@mpusto A yellow or orange vest with reflective striping is a good idea for riding anytime in traffic. Construction workers must wear them because they are so effective at reducing accidents.
