I want to know more about @EricBoehlert’s accident.
This has links that indicate it involved a bicycle and a train at 9:40 at night.
As a cyclist, I struggle to imagine such a collision.
So little has yet to be reported: a sad irony.

One of the many benefits of omnimodus transport is what you stumble upon: the new that you smell, hear, or see because you are not sealed in a car from origin to destination.
TŌNO COFFEE PROJECT is a perfect example: a great new popup in Palo Alto for superb coffee.
Point of this thread is, our built environment is a choice, and it is not immutable. We CAN take back streets, & make them accessible to all. We CAN make our cities sustainable & affordable.
It starts when we show up.
If you're in California, start here! https://t.co/kdBaxmqz6t
Hi folks. I'm off on my first postpandemic bike trip this week. No columns or newsletters. I might tweet occasionally after a hard day's ride. Or I might just have a beer.
Baffling anyone wants a return to a "normal" that involved death for you, your pet, or your little loved ones if they stray beyond a few meters of pavement.
Makeshift pedestrian-friendly plazas, the pandemic inspired, have transformed US for the better.

Richmond, California is on the cusp of completing perhaps the best network of separated, protected bike/pedestrian pathways of any city in the Bay Area.
Lots of talented advocates made this happen. We should all be jealous. https://t.co/Dj0nFy5mUW
Pet peeve: avoiding being hit by a 6,000 lb pickup truck backing up blindly on you while riding your bike legally on a neighborhood street, and then the driver having the gall to honk at you so he can get your attention to give you a lecture about safety. Thanks for listening.
The best thing about #TheOscars was Union Station.
Seriously, it is one of LA's unsung treasures.
It is not just gorgeous. It is a working transit hub that, without a car, can get you to Santa Monica (#VeniceBeach), Pasadena (#JPL) , or Anaheim (#Disneyland) #latransit
