This is ridiculous. Shame on NDOT for getting rid of the loading zone on the way down Demonbruen hill. I watched two Lime bike riders get forced into traffic because of this.

According to NDOT we have 530 miles of bikeways. They claim 55% are “low stress”. That would be about 290 miles or 190 not counting greenways. They consider plastic sticks as low stress. I suggest they ride a bike in Nashville more often.

Have been off the bike for a few days due to a minor wrist surgery. Every time I have to drive I'm shocked at how much longer it takes than biking. Like it's fine if people want to drive for recreation or whatever, but this is just not a practical way to get around.

How fast do you think I could bike through 5 gerrymandered congressional districts? Start near 100 Oaks in D4, go north into Berry Hill and D6, then towards Lipscomb across D7 and down along Hillsboro Pike into Brentwood, hitting D5 and D9. ~11 miles. I'm seriously thinking about doing this.

I just had a 20-min conversation with Mitch McConnell about how much he likes Toronto Barriers and that he doesn’t think bike lanes are DEI. He said Nashville needs more of them.

Hey TN peeps! I need to rehome a vintage Santana tandem (late 90s) in rideable condition. 3x8 mixed drivetrain, with the third (optional) drag brake. I don't care about selling it I just want to avoid the scrap heap. I have a car rack for it too, and (I think) an adapter for little kids. LMK!
