I manipulate data to improve business processes. I am a bicycle and pedestrian transportation advocate.

How about asking your security guards not to park their pickup truck on the sidewalk @RestonStation . They had completely blocked it forcing people to walk/bike on Reston Station Blvd in the dark.

Every grumpy business owner who thinks bikes are bad for business needs to see this video.

Wow, it's all on us pedestrians to wear bright colors and look over our shoulders. Drivers, just don't do a whoopsie... in a crosswalk. Everywhere else, 'cool. https://t.co/HWbPzi94Pb @KateRyanWTOP

And indeed the trail is damaged and covered with mud today. Who is accountable? @VaDOTNOVA

[Tom Wyland @TomWyland]

In the “we can’t have nice things” category -a brand new asphalt path adjacent to the Herndon metro station - is this path rated for this tri-axle truck? If the path damaged it will take @VaDOTNOVA 5 years to fix it. @fairfaxcounty @BikeFairfax

Nothing says “we don’t care about cyclist and pedestrians” quite like this 2-mile stretch in front of metro station in Reston

@ffxfirerescue You don't blow out Hanukkah candles. Congrats on appearing completely done deaf to those who celebrate.

"As reported by The Globe and Mail, residents spent a total of $181 million at curbside patios within 13 weeks of summer in 2021. If those spaces had remained dedicated to parking, only $3.7 million would have been reaped during the same time period."

@ZEROVISIONPHIlL @freddysetgo21 @philly_planner After stopping. And yielding to pedestrians. It must have been tough for you to do this.

[Tom Wyland @TomWyland]

@bikeshopgirlcom Based on the people I see on neglected bikes —squeaky chain, noisy shifting.

@yitgordon Taco Zocalo (Tacos) and Pupatella (Pizza) near Reston Wiehle Ave station. Kabobi By The Helmand (Afghan) at Innovation Station.

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

You may have seen the video of our friend, the brilliant @BikeLaneDiary taking traffic enforcement into his own hands. Here he is, dishing out dozens of yellow cards to rule breaking motorists. Someone's gotta do it eh TPS? #BikeTO 1/3

[Tom Wyland @TomWyland]

@CNN Hey @CNN he was killed by a driver. Stop calling these things accidents.

[Tom Wyland @TomWyland]

I wish @VaDOTNOVA and @fairfaxcounty would throw millions on protected bike lanes and complete streets every time a cyclist and pedestrian was killed on the road.

@VAbikecommuter @fairfaxcounty Happens to be 4 -5 times a week at @PulteHomes Reston Arboretum. County staff took 28 days to reply to my issue. This is what car bias looks like.

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

None of this is relevant to what happened when a driver (not "a F-150") struck Dartmouth's football coach while he was biking.

Teevens "suffered spinal cord injuries and his right leg was amputated." How would wearing a bike helmet prevent any of that?

[Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling @BikeFairfax]

Store owners often oppose proposed bike lanes along city streets, fearing reduced parking loses customers. All of the evidence, however, points to the fact that installing protected bike routes tends to boost local shops. See more at our blog: https://t.co/4cUQm0wbpR

@PhilCatelinet I was in AMS for a week in the middle of your trip. Flights delayed on both ends of the trip. Seems the norm these days.
