This week Taylor has another run-in with cross country rider Kay, Marcel Moran explains his study on how protected bike lanes increase ridership, and we hear from the California Bicycle Coalition about their bill to preserve safe bikeways. Listen here: biketalk.org/2026/06/26-2...
Also notice how there's no road rage. No fury. No screaming. Folks braked, stopped briefly, and kept rolling. It's amazing how interactions change when you're not anonymous in a steel cage.

The discussion about Park Ave and the better 3rd option (More Trees, fewer cars) starts at 30 minutes into this. It's a great discussion, one of the best I've ever heard in the urbanist or bike space. Highly encourage everyone to give it a listen. This is such an important fight right now

Wearing a helmet is cool, but have you ever bike safety device'd yourself onto a Bike podcast? Listen to @biketalk.bsky.social and get one for your own bike, see thread. It's hard to have a conversation with a driver. This lane saber is such a clever way to communicate passing distance.
Sundance@sundance.bikesky.social · 3mo agoThe show BikeTalk always has the most interesting guests. For instance this “Concerned listener” has called in offering a bicycle safety device to help keep the host Taylor safe on his bike tour.
“When we think about e-bike crashes and deaths related to e-bikes, the vast majority are cars and trucks killing people on e-bikes as opposed to people on e-bikes injuring somebody else” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
As e-bike crashes send an increasing number of people to the hospital, cities search for solutions
Cities look to registration, regulation and infrastructure improvement to cut number of e-bike injuries and deaths

Pike Place Market just released new sales data for Feb 2026. Looks like Jan+Feb 2026 had 11% higher sales than Jan+Feb 2025 (before the pedestrian pilot)! Congrats Seattle, you managed to find a way to shop at the market in the dead of winter without driving your cars through the middle of it.
Gordon Padelford@gordonofseattle.bsky.social · 4mo agoTom Graff at the Market Historical Commission tonight: “there is no one walking on [Pike Place] in January or February” Odd, who were all these people walking on the street this Jan/Feb? I guess I have a lot more imaginary friends than I realized
I just think that if sharrows are gonna look like that, they should give you a speed boost when you ride your bike over them.

Some good news today! SB 1167 would prohibit e-motos from being marketed and sold as e-bikes and hold manufacturers and vendors accountable. This is critical legislation, as e-motos and e-bikes have been conflated, and without this efforts will increase to restrict e-bikes, reducing e-bike usage.
