@KyleGBaker Would be even better if Brian Zimmerman would let us use the parks for cyclocross. Or if we got rid of golf courses on what is supposed to be public land.

@AFluffyPinecone@JustinLewis1977@Boenau I don't at all. I'd rather go 3-4 times a week and be there for 15-20 minutes than go once a week for over an hour. It's also much easier when you live in a human-centric place where the grocery store is like 5 minutes away by bike or on foot.
@AFluffyPinecone@JustinLewis1977@Boenau Most people that walk/bike to the grocery store don't return with 50+lbs of groceries, nor do they typically use a backpack exclusively to carry them.
I go to the grocery store ~3x/wk, buying only the things I need for a couple days. In Europe, most people go daily
@AFluffyPinecone@Boenau It is absolutely not more dangerous to ride than it is to drive. Driving is statistically the most dangerous thing most Americans do.
@RidleyDM@cb_hagen@Boenau@htown_Joe The Netherlands is notoriously rainy and has a literal fuckton of bollards in my experience. As does Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, and the UK. Yet they all have notably higher cycling and walking mode shares than basically everywhere in the US.
@RidleyDM @UrbanistSteve @Boenau@htown_Joe One of the primary complaints of transit is that it doesn't go where you want when you want. Bikes solve that.
One of the biggest complaints with driving is that gas, insurance, maintenance, and the vehicle itself are quite expensive. Bikes solve that.
Does anyone still believe that deshaun Watson was the right move for the #browns? He was the wrong move to begin with, but now he doesn't even want to play.
I'm serving overseas for the military and just had to pay $9.65 to mail my ballot back because the post office lost the first two I mailed. All Ohioans: please vote yes on issues 1 and two. Don't make that a wasted $10.
How to create a cycling culture where none exists?
Build a complete network, and build it quickly.
Between 2006 and 2008, Seville went from 15 to 120 kilometres of protected bike infrastructure, and from a 0.5 to 6 percent modal share—a twelve-fold increase virtually overnight.
@KJPisMe @ADayInTheSlife@AllAboardOhio I'm really confused how adding Akron to the plan for a 3C line is a bad idea & hurts ridership but adding Dayton is good. Please explain. We either need to prioritize speed above all & only stop in the 3 C's or include other major cities like Akron & Dayton for max inclusion.
