I may be the spouse of a librarian and therefore slightly biased, but given that the head of the bike cops unknowingly insulted my parenting choices as a cargo e-bike rider and said their officers aren't willing to put in any effort on traffic enforcement at a community meeting, 100%.

Have to say I've noticed a lot of folks using them for non-vacation trips and especially for work, but mostly on emotos.

Florida. The land of bike lanes throughout most major roads... But they're all paint only, and the roads are all 45 mph+

Wild that the entire distance between Nashville and the Florida Gulf Coast I saw the same number of EVs as u did bicyclists.

Are the hash browns and waffle supposed to be soft with no crispy bits? Is there a critical chewing problem in Waffle House territory?

"Yeah sucks about your stuff we know the guy who probably did it, they've got a key to the hotel rooms." Thanks, Denver PD!

People give too much attention and romanticism to trains when the level of actual demand, usage, and locations reached could be better solved with a bus or even a regular jitney service.

Why do so many private injury lawyers refer to themselves as "The Hammer"?

Just had Waffle House for the first time on our road trip. It was fine. Solidly affordable.

Make this a bidding process to raise funds to support the piping plovers and enhance bus, Metra, and L service. Close every funding gap.

Much like progressive suburban politics need to take down car dealerships, who have a similar stranglehold on local government. Those dealerships bring in both property taxes and high levels of sales taxes (a huge boon for local govt), and channel their massive profits back into local GOP campaigns.

Gotta love my phone's mobile hotspot that suddenly changed so it gets me connected to the Internet but somehow doesn't let my work VPN connect despite VPN saying it's connected.

Here's hoping my 8:19 Metra train tomorrow morning to run a meeting downtown will be sufficiently empty of Lollagaggers.

And it's a sensory overload for audio-adverse parents! woooooooooooo

"One solution — a full traffic signal — was rejected after a previous May 2024 study by Christopher B. Burke Engineering found only six pedestrians and 10 bicyclists crossed Kirchoff over a 12-hour time span." Something something need for bridges and swimming across rivers.

I built bike racks tonight. What did you do? #carryshitolympics

A note that the location of the the police vehicle crash is notoriously dangerous for folks on the bike path as many drivers turning southbound do not watch for northbound traffic.

While Riding His Bike, Teen Says Woman Hit Him With Her Hand - Journal & Topics Media GroupA 41-year-old woman was arrested on Thursday, July 23 for allegedly hitting a 14-year-old boy with her hand who was riding his bike in the 1700 block of Birchwood Avenue in Des Plaines.www.journal-topics.com

Last night walking back from the playground with kiddo, we saw two kids who had taken over the street to race their RC cars up and down the block. They'd clear out if a driver approached, but it was delightful to see street-based play in the neighborhood.
