I've built a map displaying where on the Amtrak network you can take your bike, line-by-line and station-by-station. This data isn't available anywhere else, check out where you can go! amtrak-bike-map.transittools.dev

Broke my spoke AGAIN! 🙄 Thankfully, I live in a place with multimodal transportation. So I'm back on PRT, and I must appreciate that I'm so glad I don't need to rely on hourly service anymore. Now if only POGOH had a spot for my panniers.

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d ago

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

The fact that the Floridian is ranked so low is quite a shame, considering that it is THE Amtrak line that serves the very popular GAP and C&O trails. I definitely need to read this report for details, but the fact that bike spots are always sold out may contribute to the ranking

Americans are right to feel more threatened by car crashes than any other sort of violence.

Nearly got myself killed seconds before this but it was so nice seeing this freight train running long hood forward! 🤩🤩 Also I hate Federal Street Parking, and folks who can't Park trying to park there, this fouling up the bike lane!

It's also illegal to be in the park/mall/arcade/other fun space without your parents, by the way

Oh! People actually bike in the city of #Pittsburgh? I thought it was too hilly/cold/hot/humid etc to do that!

To clarify, the driver that was being tailgated, then was threatened as the tailgater stepped out of the car, was the one that shot and killed the tailgater. So it was considered self defense...according to the driver and passenger. Still awful though...road rage 101 is to stay in your car...

Being a transplant to D.C. comes with tells you may not even realize, Malachi Byrd writes for our Ask a D.C. Native column. Here's what he notices:

Researchers have repeatedly shown that bike lanes, automatic enforcement, and road diets save lives. The safety impact of AVs are far more speculative. Do AV boosters genuinely care about safety? Or is it just a useful talking point?

Waymo AVs may be safer than human operated vehicles, but traffic calming, enforcement, and separated bike/pedestrian interstate saves more life lives in more places. #trafficsafety

David Zipper@davidzipper.bsky.social · last wk.

When I see "Waymo saves lives" op-eds, I always do a quick search to see what the author has written extolling protected bike lanes. Or automatic speed cameras. Or road diets. The results are always the same: Nope. Nada. Zilch.

I'll miss the Original Pittsburgh Winery. A fond memory I have is when they hosted the meeting for Traffic Calming in Penn Ave. Even Mayor Gainey was there! It had its drama when someone threw a leg cast/support at the leader of the opposition! I wish the owners well. triblive.com/aande/music/...

McKnight Road is just so incredibly terrible as a pedestrian and transit user...even as a driver! Personally I avoid going up there as the transit and walking experience is awful. How many more deaths will we have to witness before this corridor is made to be safer? www.wpxi.com/news/local/c...

We learned during our strike & community town halls that: ✒️ many working people feel like they’ve been failed by traditional media ✒️ there is an opportunity to build something better for Pittsburgh We agree. ♥️ Coming July 27: preview the Pittsburgh Progress. SEE UPDATES: pittsburghprogress.com

"Freedom of Movement" should be the name of a campaign. That's really what all this cycling/pedestrian/transit advocacy is about - the freedom to choose from a variety of options to move that works best for you, your family, and your community. It's refreshing to see a Congressperson understand that

Are there any Caribbean countries actually investing in significant Bike/Pedestrian infrastructure outside of city centers? At least Jamaica has the JUTC, but I wish it were more bikeable/walkable. The weather is marvelous for this type of transport!

This is sick. What is even the benefit of voting against this declaration? That human lives don't matter? Even car manufacturers are spending billions to improve safety features to minimize road deaths...
