I use this space mostly to tweet about biking in the SF Bay Area.

@CaltransDist7 @CaltransHQ @CountyVentura @LosPadresNF @cityofojai @cityofventura @CHP_Ventura @ChpVcc @Ojaipd @VCFD_PIO Are you letting bicyclists pass through the one-way work zone yet?

[Brian Coyne @BrianBicycles]

@Kleisthenes2 Ugh I'm so sorry to hear this, James!

@WarrenJWells San Rafael went all in on those signs at some point in the past, even at headscratching locations like where the Puerto Suello hill path transitions into sidewalk-less Merrydale Road.

@prinzrob This is a good point. And is federal law an impediment at all to a blanket NTOR? I had always heard there was something, and Wikipedia mentions a 1975 law making ROR a condition for certain federal funding: https://t.co/UzZcMwDkpY

@DavidGallagher Beautiful! Looks like we should've been riding it in 1917!

[Brian Coyne @BrianBicycles]

@slucy Yes, posts are still in and I haven't personally seen any cars drive around them!

@Caltrain How many seats are in the bike cars? Not happy about the prospect of not being able to sit within view of my bike.

@RecParkSF Is it true that no one knows what happened to the statue?

[Brian Coyne @BrianBicycles]

@alexdanilo99 @SFMTA The bike lane isn't finished and has giant closed signs in it. It's not time to judge it yet, and this tweet isn't helping anything.

Checkout this NEAT TRICK PHILLY USED TO INCREASE transit ridership and not spend a cent!

BIG TRANSIT FUNDING UPDATE

Last night, the Senate & Assembly released our budget, including most of the agreement on transit. We vote on Thursday.

The agreement is a strong step to address the transit operations fiscal cliff. More work remains, but this is good progress.🧵⬇️

[Ricardo Cano @ByRicardoCano]

NEW: California budget deal will include $1.1 billion in cap and trade funds for state transit agencies and rejects proposed $2 billion cut to capital projects

[Danielle Baskin @djbaskin]

Since the governor's voicemail closed, let's send faxes to @GavinNewsom to urge full funding for public transit.

Millions rely on transit for work, health, and social connections. A budget cut would be devastating.

If you link me a letter by midnight, I can fax it for you!

[Brian Coyne @BrianBicycles]

@catrope @SFMTA_Muni Oh thanks! I missed option 2 at first.

[ABC7 News @abc7newsbayarea]

Protesters halt traffic in San Francisco to demand funding for public transit https://t.co/T7oSpjnt79

A plea to my governor:

Gavin Newsom, Please Don’t Cut Public Transit Funds.

One factor we forget in postwar suburbanization (and the new urban renaissance) is that US urban cores were basically in wildfire-like air every day in the summer

My dad still talks about the yellow cloud over Buffalo back in the late 1970s

@sedatesnail Depends on which animal! Domestic sheep have lost the ability to shed their hair like wild sheep and need haircuts like people.
