If I view a profile (@lisas) from my own server, following is easy-peasy. Note the web address below. However, it does not display follows from other servers, making it harder to browse for other people to follow.
I’ve been confused as to why follow seems easy for some people/cases, and clunky for others. After some experimenting, here’s what I’ve been able to figure out…
Come hear our TRB Webinar Today (from TRB's bird site post):
Public transit ridership has been declining since before COVID-19. Get analysis of trends, contributing factors, and provide actionable steps to combat ridership decline in post-pandemic travel from @brendonhemily, @transitmom & me
On my way home a woman was having a glamour photo shoot in the U-Bahn platform. I think that’s kind of awesome.

@gregerhardt I used this https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/ to find the folks i follow and it downloaded as a csv file. Go to preferences and import/export to get those you follow with a mastodon account will be followed by you. Importing who follows you is not an option.
@Transportist Yes, I can find the link. But then I have to copy the link, go back to my own server where I’m logged on, paste it into the search, and then follow. There must be someone who’s written an app to automate that to one click? Or maybe I’m missing something.
So far, the clunkiness of following a user on a different server is the most annoying thing about Mastodon. Does anyone have an easier way?

New in-depth study of e-cargo bikes highlights their ability to replace cars:
"There is a high potential for substitution of private car trips [from] e-cargo bikes, varying from 1 to 4 trips/week avoided."

Interesting-looking report showing that Italy invests 100 times more money into cars and related infrastructure than into cycling
RT @ClaudioMagliulo@twitter.com
L'Italia investe nell'auto *💯volte* più che nella bici! 💸😱
Eppure basterebbero appena *3 miliardi* per avere #CittaCiclabili come Amsterdam (o Reggio Emilia).

The wise Nick Stamatiadis looking scholarly before introducing me for a talk at National Technical University of Athens. Also, giving a talk in and old school railroad lab is awesome! Great hosts and students too!

“Other developed countries lowered speed limits and built more protected bike lanes. They moved faster in making standard in-vehicle technology like automatic braking systems that detect pedestrians, and vehicle hoods that are less deadly to them.
[…]
In the U.S. in the past two decades, by contrast, vehicles have grown significantly bigger and thus deadlier to the people they hit. Many states curb the ability of local governments to set lower speed limits.”

And I’m always happy to talk about my beautiful home state of Kentucky, the land of basketball, bourbon and bluegrass.
