i wish that every American who wants to ride a bike without constant fear could live in Cambridge with me. It's def not perfect, but it's not too far from it.
‘Take the lane’ just isn’t a strategy that needs to be deployed very often. Cargobikes hauling kids everywhere. Few places you can’t get to directly and safely. More places can do this.
@bikepedantic I only ever take the lane around here when an unprotected lane is blocked by a car.
@Kevin and then you can look at a calendar, and see when that unprotected lane is getting its required-by-law upgrade
@bikepedantic @Kevin I want to be happy for you, but we're supposed to be getting 50 miles per year *by law* and our meathead cop mayor is just like "what are you gonna do, write me a mean letter?" 😭
@Andres4NY a sketch--comedy show with a cast entirely made up of NYC mayors would be such a big hit, just such a parade of awful @Kevin
@adamfishercox otoh, de Blasio's tall and wears goofy outfits and dropped a groundhog like some kind of furry Junior Mint.
@bikepedantic @Kevin Or a sitcom. de Blasio as Kramer, Bloomberg as Jerry or Elaine, and I can't decide if Adams or Giuliani should be George.
