I really do notice more things by bike. Like a pedestrians unfortunate tattoo of smoking stick of dynamite... that looked more like a tampon. 🧨
A driver just passed by while dumping a water bottle full of some sort of yellow liquid into the street. 😒
Walked out when I was 14 when they said gays would burn in hell. Never went back, except for funerals. Dallin Oakes came to one of those funerals and asked me to repent. Ew no thank you.
More than half of young adult women who grew up as Latter-day Saints have now left the church. Many are reacting against politics, purity culture and powerlessness.
Honestly the disguise isn’t needed. Plain clothes is fine since many drivers don’t notice pedestrian or cyclists….
A Middlesex County police department used an officer disguised as a shrub to crack down on distracted driving Wednesday, issuing 74 citations.
A theme here is that if a person inside city government intervenes on behalf of a restaurant losing parking spots or a random driver getting a parking ticket, that's seen as constituent services. If another government insider works on behalf of keeping people alive, that's seen as advocacy.

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.
A cycling advocate and transportation planner for the city of Boston was identified as the cyclist who was struck and killed in a crash near Roxbury Crossing this morning.
All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.
My family of 6 drove from Utah to Vermont TWICE in an Chevy sedan. 4 kids in the back, luggage on the roof.
Strangely there is no traffic cone on the statue of Robert Burns in the Fens. Will someone fix that? @universalhub.com

Nothing like passing a Lamborghini stuck into traffic on my bike.
I dressed like a bike lane for Earth Day. (And also for my bike presentation later today.)
Apparently not driving very often has resulted in car repairs for “being parked too long.”
