What an incredible weekend in Milwaukee, first celebrating Wheel & Sprocket's 50th anniversary then riding in Chris' Slow Roll. Chris Kegel was an absolute legend. So thankful I got to know him when he was the League's Board Chair and that his children continue his great work!💛

We were grateful to be able to participate in the 8th annual Chris's Slow Roll over the weekend with @WheelSprocket — what a joy to celebrate the life of a pillar of the bike community by riding together with the bike community! https://t.co/FkA3mXklZc

One reluctant exerciser found that ditching his car and walking or biking to the store was a boon for his mental and physical health: "I began seeking out new errands just for the exercise they would provide." https://t.co/WsmlZpcoGQ

It’s a big announcement for @USDOT today: new proposed rule making would make automatic emergency braking detection for pedestrians required on new cars. This is a good first step towards safer cars in a Safe System Approach. We hope to see AEB for people on bikes in the future.

This is all about speed and shows that for people biking and walking, it is not just speeding, but lethal legal speed limits that pose a major threat

[League of American Bicyclists @BikeLeague]

We had a great #BikeToWorkDay ride alongside @USDOTFHWA Administrator Shailen Bhatt, @gabe_klein of the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, and Deputy Secretary of @USDOT Polly Trottenberg, all leaders who recognize the importance of making biking better for everyone.

Join us in celebrating #BikeToWorkDay by asking your reps in Congress to co-sponsor the Bicycle Commuter Act! @RepBlumenauer & @SenSherrodBrown introduced legislation to incentivize the most efficient form of urban transportation ever devised — bicycling! https://t.co/KS6JKIWgLc

Happy #BikeToWorkWeek from @repblumenauer! He reminds us that when we bike, we're not only getting to experience #bikejoy, we're also fighting for the planet and for our communities.

[League of American Bicyclists @BikeLeague]

[Advocates @SafeRoadsNow]

Slight reduction in speed limits = big payoff in safety, acc. to new @IIHS_autosafety report on Seattle. @SafeRoadsNow president Cathy Chase spoke with @scrippsnews @mcatsandoval about how higher speed results in more danger. #saferoads Read more:

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Right now, a 20 mph speed limit exists in Neighborhood Slow Zones In NYC.

The fatality rate on streets with speed limits of 25+ mph is nearly 5x higher than these zones.

We need lower speed limits citywide. We need Albany to pass Sammy's Law this week.
