We bet on the people of Pennsylvania - and you didn’t let us down 

And I won’t let you down. Thank you.

Bedford votes on the #MinutemanBikeway Extension at Town Meeting Mon evening, 11/14 (or possibly Tues evening, 11/15—see below). It will be a close vote & we need a 2/3 majority to get this done. Please RT this thread & help turn out the YES vote! Here’s what you need to know.

The fun thing about posting mean jokes about Elon Musk on Twitter is you know there's a startlingly huge chance he is actually going to read it and it will hurt his feelings.

[Peter Flax @Pflax1]

There are still a bunch of folks in bike culture who fundamentally think e-bikes are cheating. They mistakenly view e-bikes as replacing bicycle trips rather than car trips. They constantly wonder why folks just won't ride regular bikes. It's tiring how they still don't get it.

A great thread on taxation and homeownership

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

A very smart friend of mine is buying their first home and they just found about the mortgage tax deduction and they couldn’t believe it, they thought it was a joke and I was like no lol renters subsidizing your future mortgage is like the biggest expenditure of the US govt

How do you turn racist comments by Latinx members of the LA City Council into an attack on me? Ask @nytdavidbrooks who in his recent column misrepresented my scholarship, which the @nytimes routinely allows its columnists to do.

This is what happens when accuracy is nothing. 1/

How to report on a cyclist or pedestrian fatality in two steps:

1. Use this format: PEDESTRIAN/CYCLIST was killed by the driver of a VEHICLE MODEL on STREET, where there have been TK other crashes in the previous TK years.

2. Do not amplify police statements without evidence.

My sincerest congratulations to the indefatigable @jobar73 on his new role @Amtrak! Director Barr has always shown an incredible commitment to making our streets safer for vulnerable road users. We will miss his tireless leadership & good humor, but our loss is Amtrak's gain 🚉💕

@PetruSofio @BostonBikeData @jfh Indeed... the Arlington Bikeway counter is MassDOT. There was a public data portal but it had technical issues. Data also has many caveats and places where data was lost or uncollected. If you want to talk email [email protected]

At this point I have nothing to say. The #BikeBus is it!! 150 kids which is 27% of students at Alameda Elementary participated today. I am speechless.

@inLIUofJOAN @RideBluebikes Ah, that is unfortunate

This morning took @RideBluebikes from East Somerville to Hynes Convention Center for #NACTO2022 - passed through Union Square and thus funny not-quite-protected corner

Pat Hoey and Jim Fitzgerald of City of Boston discussing air rights project next to #SouthStation #NACTO2022

[Daniel Amstutz @UrbanizedDan]

4 miles on bike share is no joke but it's better than walking all that way. Just barely made it to the walkshop #NACTO2022
