@ArtistCyclist Most taxi drivers are drive in a professional manner, but there are some that prioritize speed and cost over safety at the demand of their customer.

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

I captured this one before the Slow Rider Sunday ride this weekend. Too bad that the art is not being respected.

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

@VoltaPortugal He did not "pass". He was "killed".

Driver admits: "So they're basically giving you a citation for going over the regular speed limit."
If only there was an easy way for drivers to avoid speeding tickets.

@CityWestminster Most localities go out of their way to ensure that there is plenty of convenient car parking, but then do nothing for cyclists. It's a successful strategy for cars. Why not do the same for bikes? Provide the racks and spaces.

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

Maybe it's time for localities to start planning, building, managing bike racks and bike parking like they do for car parking. This strategy seems to work to prevent cars from parking in random places across town.

Today I've called the big dockless bike operators to a summit at @CityWestminster to help run this system more efficiently. Thousands of dockless bikes are in use daily - but when they're carelessly parked it's a pain for everyone. We fine operators, but more action is needed.

@MassDailyNews We recently had a kid killed in Las Vegas because cars parked in the bike lane forcing her into traffic. A school bus driver hit her in a school zone.

@shadetreeisback @DavidRe08496043 @Bikery1966 Don't you have to watch the road and the speedometer during the practical driving test with the driving examiner in the car?

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

@kelvmackenzie Wow! If your car is not able to do 20mph for any period of time, you should take your car back to the dealer and ask them to repair it.

For anyone out there that does their own bicycle maintenance, Calvin Jones from @parktool is retiring. #BikeLife

Finally back on the pedals again. The weather is a bit damp here is Las Vegas, but I managed to get 2 rides in 2 days. Unfortunately, I got a flat on my ride today.

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

I try to give these things plenty of space since they occasionally act erratically.

Zoox responds to a social media video showing a self-driving taxi stalling in the middle of a busy Las Vegas intersection.

@ediz1975 @JourneysPlaces Where is the broken down car? Is it inside the lorry stopped and blocking the lane?

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

@ediz1975 Please explain what happened in 2019 to increase speeds, and why the 2024-25 values are approx the same as 2014-19.

@Boenau Someone once enlightened us that a bicycle can cause just as much danger as a vehicle. Yet, I have never seen a bicycle crash through the 2nd floor wall of a building.

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

@AManOnTheMove @Cycliq Just like other vehicles, bicycles still need a certain distance to stop. They do not stop instantaneously.

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

This is the reason that some neighborhoods do not have sidewalks in Las Vegas. Short driveways lead to blocking pedestrian walkways. Developers prefer that people walk in the street.

@Boenau We do it differently here in Las Vegas...

Dumbest driver in Vegas

[Masqueride @masqueride_bike]

@Boenau It will come out later that the building was not hi viz and was outside of a crosswalk.
