@espn , not an accident when a driver stops, puts it in reverse, hits the gas and runs over a bicyclist. That’s a crash. And the car didn’t drive itself. Driver hit and killed cyclist. Car didn’t act alone. Words matter. Title and 1st paragraphs need work

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

Why does @espn make it so easy to call them out, and so hard for fans to watch games?

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

No wonder @NBA and @NHL use other broadcast partners for finals events. @espn can’t handle the pressure apparently. #mlrplayoffs

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

@HOUSaberCats make sure you have backup plans for your streaming and tv broadcast today. @espn not reliable to actually broadcast the match ending #mlrplayoffs

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

Is @espn even trying? @usmlr

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

@espn is so bad, it ran commercials for @StateFarm @Starbucks @BankofAmerica and @EspNbets , yeah, the last one was on purpose.
Damn. @usmlr should get some ad revenue kickback. And the fans??? Guess we just lose, @espn , thanks 2 u

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

@espn can’t even broadcast a game!?? @HoundsChicago @NEFreeJacks
@usmlr needs a new partner who will actually do the things they’re contracted to do. Play of the season. Not broadcast. #oopsie

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

Thanks to @HOUSaberCats and @usmlr for what you’re sharing with heavy weather delays. Still, asking a broadcast partner to engage more is worth pointing out @espn

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

Too bad @espn isn’t really committed to @usmlr in their partnership. I might know better about game updates and delays on @espn programming.

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

@HoundsChicago Bunch of good suggestions so far! New and similar ideas:
Pickle
King, or The King
Grey
Wolf
Ruck
Maul
Paws
Furry, Fuzzy, or Furball (ball in hand for last one)
Champ (aspirational!)
Chug (less family friendly?; good idea!)
Big Mama
Hunter
Dane
Sporty or Birdy (nod to sponsor)

Cyclists poll: what’s driver ‘saying’ if they speed past you going over hill/around curve?
Appreciate retweet to amplify @bkevenides @streetsblogchi @rideillinois @activetrans

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

@askcomenity @NFL @Barclays Still trying to get that DM through. Follow and that’ll help. You have all the details anyway. It’s your bank, shouldn’t be hard to locate. See handle; check your cases; easy match.
@Barclays could help. It’s @NFL shop you all owe me. Not like I’m hiding. Been asking for a year!

@greenfieldjohn Thanks for reporting on this and giving accurate details from a vulnerable road user’s perspective. This crash is a tragedy. We’re working to make bicycling better in Illinois. Accurate reporting like this helps. Thank you @greenfieldjohn

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

excited to attend #BikeSummit21 with @BikeLeague

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

Ed Barsotti of @rideillinois has done a lot for Illinois bicyclists and bicycling. This is another example. https://t.co/Fga19spyrc

This New Law Should Make Cycling Safer On Illinois Roads https://t.co/Jlv11BsHJ7

[psmitty @psmittybikes]

IL senators @tammyduckworth & @DickDurbin just talked w/ ur offices about using Reconciliation & amendments to delay R health bill. Stall it https://t.co/nR5etA8OwQ

[Ezra Levin @ezralevin]

@IndivisibleTeam @MoveOn @CREDOMobile So, in short: reconciliation means you only need 50 votes, but you have to accept votes on a ton of amendments. 5/

Great bike safety video. Will use this for my safety classes. https://t.co/bI3rZ0UpD1

@KYouell I don't track my miles. No odometer. Might be able to figure it out w/maps.
