@NashSevereWx Morning expected to be non-severe? Just rain?

[Bike Fun @NashBikeFun]

TOMORROW NIGHT! Dudley Park 5:15 meet 5:35 roll. WeGo stops nearby if you need it. Lights recommended, helmets encouraged.

@TheCharlier Shedding the world’s tiniest tear for the people who can afford an $80k transportive murder weapon not being able to get their tax credit

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

No federal bike (electric or not), bus, or walking tax subsidies though…

[Jim Charlier @TheCharlier]

Cybertruck reveals our true priorities. It will cost >$50K, weigh >3 tons, with extreme power & acceleration & a stainless steel body.
It will qualify for $7,500 federal + $5,000 Colorado EV tax credits and also for a 100% tax work truck tax deduction.

@dagopo Yep all makes sense. And I think we should be lowering the speed limit to 25 for vehicles and buses when all this is implemented. Having a dedicated lane would more than make up for the lowering of top end speed for buses

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

@dagopo Thoughts on a shared bike/bus lane between 5th and eastland? I think it could work with the frequencies that the 56 runs on (hopefully this will improve of course)

@sadie_luck @cbowe34 The data shows that wide roads are more deadly. For example, a quick look at the WBN 2020 data shows that 71% of ped deaths occurred on roads with 4+ lanes (not including interstates). Only 5% occurred on 2 lane roads. So removing car lanes should make these roads safer for all

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

@sadie_luck @cbowe34 What data?

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

@sadie_luck @cbowe34 Pretty sure he’s not but that he IS on the vision zero committee and probably wants less people to die on our streets

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

@sadie_luck @cbowe34 I won’t speak for OP, but your reply definitely seems like it’s in bad faith and it’s full of weird assumptions. Like why would the “undesirables” be avoiding east nashville because we remove like 2 lanes of car traffic for 5 blocks and replacing it with bus and bike lanes?

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

@sadie_luck @cbowe34 Lol what in the world are you talking about??

@Pflax1 This seriously is depressing news for Americans desperate for good cycling coverage. GCN with VPN is so much better than anything else offered, not even close.

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

@kellyjogarner Love a good nite ride but I didn’t wanna die coming back tonight. :(

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

Took me like 15 min of driving around Elliston Pl to find a free parking spot. We are becoming a real city!

Mississippi State, make this easy. Call Dan Mullen. If he says no, I've got ideas | Toppmeyer https://t.co/9P8XbMJvpK

Truly despicable stuff, Senator. Please repent, resign, and stop using our taxpayer dollars and your brief time on this earth to constantly spread lies and hate.

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

Rashida Tlaib has alleged ties to Hamas.

Based on these allegations, it’s sadly not surprising she’s calling for a genocide against the Jewish people.

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

Please tell me why the f**k my tax dollars are helping blow up refugee camps? I'd really, really like to know.

Because mass-murdering innocent refugees is not an act of self-defense. It's just mass murder.

@aplaceforowls And I was like oh cool y’all are like my favorite band ever. And Colour Revolt opened for them (as Fletcher) that first time I ever saw them. Fun times in the Christian adjacent indie rock scene.

[Daniel Simpkins @dmsimpkins]

@aplaceforowls Funny enough, I ended up meeting one of the anathallo guys years later at a Bazan show. He came up and introduced himself because I was wearing a Colour Revolt shirt, and he told me his old band used to tour with them. I was like what band and he was like anathallo….
