Documenting all aspects of bicycle infrastructure & every day cycling

The never ending tension between separated cycling lane installation and cars in American cities. Less than a month and taking them out. Crazy. Or cultural view of cycling facility implementation in the US makes me feel hopeless sometimes.

Q: is this permanent?

Early this A.M. crews began the tedious task of removing the newly added cement bike lane dividers that were hastily installed in the Mass Ave & Albany St area less than a month ago. These dividers have caused at least 10 accidents in under a month!

Portland, Maine has claimed the title of America's Best Bus Stop 2022! Learn more about their great waiting area, and what all our fantastic contest finalists taught about the importance of well-designed bus stops — and how to get more of them.

Deqa Dhalac is the new mayor of South Portland, Maine. She's making history as the city's first Black mayor, and she's believed to be the first Somali American mayor in the United States. https://t.co/Vt27FEjJRh

It's not everyday that our little quirky coastal city of South Portland (25k pop) makes national news; especially when it's heartwarming!

South Portland selects the first Somali-American mayor in the US.

America is overparked and underhoused.

The definition of insanity is painting bike lanes over and over again across a city and wondering why more people don’t actually bike.

[sam @sam_d_1995]

it’s wild that LA has one of the best climates in the country and yet is one of the least walkable cities

what a waste lol

[urban.bicycle.design @UBD__]

@AmericanFietser Portland Maine is highly underrated imo. The scale is great. You can even easily bike to the airport from downtown. (Less than 2 miles)

COME ON AMERICA THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX WHEN IT COMES TO URBAN MOBILITY.

[Pedal Me @pedalmeapp]

Shame about all that traffic due to those cycle lanes being in the way. Guess we should’ve used a van 🤷‍♀️

The 3 stages of bicycle consciousness:

1. Bicycles are toys
2. Bicycles are exercise
3. Bicycles are transportation

Most US cities are at stage 1 or 2.
