J. Edgar Patel going back to the bad old days of character assassination and planting evidence. You heard it here first.
So does the Bay Area. There are two bike lash points on each BART car and often they are 2-3 deep. Riders can now take bikes on escalators, which is very helpful. I use this combination frequently and it works great!

It’s what I do, with my Tern Quick Haul. Easier, faster and more fun than driving for local trips.
My childhood stomping grounds (Diablo, that is)! Here’s the view in Henry Coe last weekend:
Oakland represents! (I’m just using this clip because the echo-y tunnel sounded cool)
Here I am, approaching the conclusion of Killed By A Traffic Engineer by @wesmars.bsky.social and I find an idea I had been pondering just a week or so ago: What if we designed the sidewalks first? Wes says it better: “whatever’s left over goes to drivers”
This Wednesday! It’ll be warm! Not like the last time we were there!
I have yet to see any of what I think would be the inevitable comparisons to that other long-winded gasbag, Fidel ...

This company is selling bike-shaped devices whose speed limit (shipped at 20mph) can be unlocked to either 28, or simply by switching modes, no speed limiters at all. This is NOT an ebike. Manufacturers who do this need to get right with the law
NYT on its bullshit again. 1. Misleading headline implies anti-semitism 2. Lede partially corrects headline 3. Real news revealed: anti-Muslim conservatives seek to undermine new mayor and get help from NYT
