Steady progress toward better bike infrastructure in some places, while in St Paul the responsible agencies just let existing good infrastructure rot and decay and decide to close it instead of actually fixing it. We used to be a proper country with engineers who had talent and drive.
BicycleDutch@bicycledutch.bsky.social · yesterdayThe continuous cycle route between Breda and Etten-Leur was ahead of its time when it opened in 2004. More than 20 years later, it has been improved again: a new cycle tunnel now replaces a busy level crossing. That story in this week’s post and video.
![From the ESPN story:
ALLEN LEE JONES said he owns property along FM 159 near Medina's residence and not far from the crash site. When ESPN arrived there on July 23, he parked his pickup truck behind a closed bent and rusted gate and stood behind its No Trespassing sign.
When asked about Medina, Jones paused and said: "Police have come out a lot." Shane Muth, who Jones said lives on his property, told ESPN by phone that he interacted with Medina often. Medina and a relative "think they own this stretch of road. You can't pass them up or, if you go too slow or too fast, they try to run you off the road," Muth said. Jones and Muth said they believe Medina's behavior took a turn after a serious car crash several years ago. ESPN also spoke to Gabriel Peña, a father of four who said he was inside an area Walmart on Jan. 31, 2025. At the store exit, a man told him someone had shot his unoccupied truck. Peña shared a photo and video of the pickup truck, taken on the day of the incident. In the video, Peña said he was told a black car pulled into the parking spot next to his truck and used a shotgun. The photo shared by Peña showed a large hole in the driver's side windshield and one near the driver's side door, just to the right of a decal indicating that Peña is a veteran. He said he spent 14 months in Iraq. Peña called 911 and said that authorities better arrive quickly. I carry a 9 mil [handgun] with me," he told ESPN. "I said, 'If this guy's around, he's going to get shot. I will shoot whoever did this.' Not because I want to kill somebody, but I'm not
going home in a body bag."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yhglxsi2owchryafic2gmr3/bafkreiahazd6aezb2i5joftbrlhhk27zeulsd6nxaa2e537r7sildqpobe)
