Good to see lots of Seattle ppl get that 1. “e-bike”& “e-moto” are diff vehicles, & words matter 2. Arguments about “ #ebike” regulation exist w/in larger picture of traffic safety. It’s irrational to laser-focus on e-bikes at the expense of addressing leading traffic causes of severe injury&death.

I used to have a bumper sticker on my car (it was on so long it literally wore off) that said, “If I had ridden my bike today, this parking spot would be yours.” I think about it every time someone claims bike lanes are gratuitous investments that only serve people in spandex.

A community that wants the biggest bang for their buck will build a bike lane. Investing in better places to ride makes travel safer+more comfortable+less complicated for everyone whether or not they’re on a bike. Complete streets (streets w space for diff types of travel)=gifts that keep on giving.

A graphic illustration of how investing in complete streets is a smart financial move. These investments create a cascade of community benefits. 

Title: Complete Streets
Get Us There. STRONGER ECONOMY. HEALTHIER PLANET. GREATER COMMUNITY BONDS. HEALTHIER PEOPLE MORE EQUITABLE TRANSPORTATION
ACCESS. MORE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES INCREASED TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS SAFER STREETS.

Can’t believe it’s been 14yrs since my first journalism internship! Was just as fascinated w the newsroom as w the news. From my notes: “Jul 3, 2012: Reporters are staring at the office ceiling. Eye witnesses say a bird may be in the lights. Quote: ‘Why do you just have binoculars in your desk?!’”

People in a newsroom pointing at the ceiling and looking through binoculars.

I feel so silly, I have an Insta360 I use all the time but I literally was like “this route has so many protected bike lanes im sure i don’t need the 360 today” lo &behold I super did. If you were near the Green Lake Way side of the putt putt course ~6:18pm 6/30 &saw this plz lemme know #seattle

The driver who *opened their passenger door into the Green Lake bike lanes, yes the ones w flex posts *and kept the door wide open *while driving toward/passing me as I biked in those lanes *all while screaming something indecipherable+threatening would really benefit from a nice bike ride #Seattle
