@markpoling @dom_lucre You ever traveled into the late evening with young kids?

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@CityKnoxvilleTN @kat_bus @myTDOT @CityKnoxvilleTN any updates here? The wonderful crossing guard who had been helping manage traffic and keep things sane has been prohibited from doing so, as she isn't a police officer.

@myTDOT @MarkNagiTDOT @CityKnoxvilleTN I just did a trial run of using @kat_bus for my daughter to get to Bearden Middle from downtown. Was great!

And then…
The only way to get to the inbound stop is crossing Middlebrook without even warning lights. Speed limit 45mph. 🧵

@CityKnoxvilleTN @kat_bus My understanding is the holdup was @myTDOT because it’s a state highway.

It seems like it would be a great use of a HAWK.

@CityKnoxvilleTN I know sometimes coordinating can be hard, but how about we don’t close sidewalks on both sides and direct people to the other.

Seems like a lane closure and temporary sidewalk is justified here.

@ajtourville “If you’re counting down, it starts at 33!”

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

Where’d my bus sign go? Oh, there it is.

I’m sure a pedestrian or one of those dangerous cyclists are responsible.

@BIKABOUT @SafeRoutesNow Kill the lake, fill in the two spots in AK and HI that didn’t get filled. Legend spacing with the all ages text and anything goes feels weird. Maybe make all ages two lines and then properly center them in the bottom thirds?

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@Knoxville_PD Be safe, thankful for mutual aid with the right tools.

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@Knoxville_PD @CityKnoxvilleTN Will you be specifically logging the costs/savings for comparison to a conventional ICE vehicle?

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@joyfillednomads @TVAnews @DukeEnergy They have more than one.

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@MarkNagiTDOT Man, these EV fires are getting out of hand.

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@topic_flow @Chris_Oven Especially since swarming the field results in a fine from the conference. $100k first offense, $250k second.

Fans donated >$150k to a gofundme of sorts (university managed, called Volstarter) in less than 2 days after that when we beat Alabama 2 years ago.

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@topic_flow @Chris_Oven I'm not sure what started the throw it into the river thing other than Neyland Stadium at UTK is adjacent to the river. Vandy was really motivated as they had to take it ~3 miles (5km) to the river in Nashville.

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@cigarandcoffees @ask_dba @jeremycole Only for one - and I rode in 3 of the events with him (Providence bridge pedal, Tour de Victoria, and Summit 2 Sound.

I brought my Marin DSX2 up, and even with my recent swap to a 38T chainring he killed me on some climbs (and I definitely walked a few).

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@nuclear5over1 The witch trials were a deep state conspiracy.

(I shouldn't have to, but /s)

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@topic_flow @Chris_Oven It's a TN thing.

UTK has thrown the goalposts into the river a few times now.

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@SnazzyLabs Baby monitor app on phones, and maybe use an old phone or an iPod for the kid. Comes in clutch on trips.

WHITE NOISE APP. Good lord, this saved us so many times.

Reusable diapers saved us so much money. One set made it through two kids (we liked fuzzibunz).

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@CraigABrill @Boenau Sounds like we need wider bike lanes, and with barriers.

[Robert Cole @robertncole]

@jeremycole “Straightaways” == no curves for 50’
