Wall Street Journal piece on Archer ignores the politics behind the Astroturfed "rebellion" against the safety project - Streetsblog Chicago
SBC got WSJ to make a major correction. And advocates who were interviewed for the article are disappointed that the reporter barely mentioned, or left out, other key info.

One of my wife's coworkers was recently treated by one after collapsing in London. The bike, not surprisingly, responded much faster than the ambulance. Really cool! www.londonambulance.nhs.uk/calling-us/w...

We bicycle riders have to stop blocking the crosswalks at red lights. It’s a bad habit. The crosswalks are for pedestrians. Stop at the line. No excuses. (Also, don’t furnish our enemies with ammunition.) 🚲🚲🚲 #BikeChi @bikegridnow.org @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social @chicritmass.bsky.social
