re: incident between #bike rider and #car driver where the driver pointed a #gun at the #cyclist

#Police chief's mistake was holding a presscon too soon, inadvertently favoring the ex-cop driver. Police chief is resigning.

Mayor is cracking down on the ex-cop, but the cyclist is scared and is yet to come forward. ☹️

I'll say it again.
They're dead.
#Philippine #news editors are dead.
Extinct. 😐

#Philippines #journalism 👎

What the heck do they mean #EDSA #BikeLanes are "a few meters wide"?! It's not even 1 meter wide! 🤷‍♀️

"... saddened by the MMDA's idea of zeroing in on bike lanes which only take up a few meters wide ..."

You can think of it that way:
if it were safer,
more people would ride #bikes.

Or you could say,
we need more more mooooore people on bikes!
So much more that they can't take us for granted anymore.
And then things will finally change for the better.
More than just band-aid solutions.

Hope that things get better. 🙏
Or accept it and live with it. 🤷‍♀️
Change will happen anyway.
Gotta have faith. 😉

Yeah, I don't feel good about that bike rack either, but there's nowhere else to park. ☹️

We got a long way to go...

Mission aborted. 🚲😐

Today would've been a good day to use my #bike as transport for real, for the first time -- all I've done so far were exercise, group leisure rides, or visits to the bike shop. Today my destination actually has safe "parking" for #bikes.

But I didn't get any #sleep. 😵‍💫 Can't do long distance riding. That would be foolish. That's like riding drunk. And we don't have the safest streets here. 🤷‍♀️

#Photos from Sunday's #bicycle event calling for a stop to the removal of the #ProtectedBikeLanes on Ayala Ave #MakatiCity #Philippines.

We might say the event was a success, considering that they planned it only Friday. Little time to spread the word.

The turnout was a disappointment for me. I imagined we could at least fill a block of Ayala Ave. I had hoped a lot of people would show up. But, no. My estimate was that there were only about 200.

Oh well. We tried.

.@EuCyclistsFed estimates that cycling can save emissions equalling more than 16 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents per year in the 🇪🇺.

#ActiveMobility saves money & energy ⚡ and can help save the planet!

Do you enjoy cycling? 🚴‍♀️

@wlukewindsor
It's nice that you get to take a full-sized #bike on public transpo. 👍

Wish we could do that here. *sigh* ☹️ It's not practical, of course. Public transpo here is hardly enough for just people. So being on public transpo with extra cargo like a big bike would be a luxury -- a luxury that does not exist even for those willing to pay extra.

Still waiting for better infra for #ActiveMobility. Right now it's mostly just paint. 😐

According to @euenvironment, road transport 🛣 accounts for the highest proportion of 🇪🇺 transport emissions.

By using #PublicTransport & #ActiveMobility - like 🚴‍♀️ and 🚶‍♀️ - we can reduce #emissions.

Plus, active mobility is linked to improved physical & mental well-being. 💪

Seen today. 🛴👴🏼

Not to say that the mall officially allows it, but it's good this #SeniorCitizen even thought of using a #KickScooter there. Hopefully nobody working at the mall will tell him to stop riding it indoors. I'll understand if they ban kids zipping around the mall on wheels. But if they just use their brains instead of automatically going "You can't do that here," the world would be a lot more bearable to live in.

I think #KickScooters are great. 🤓👍 #ActiveMobility #PWDfriendly

How do you use your #eBike with #PedalAssist?

❔ PAS always ON
❔ PAS On for most* of the ride, like 80% or 90% of the time
❔ PAS/throttle only* when needed, like in difficult situations like hills or when already tired from pedaling too hard

Me, I only use PAS when needed, or when I want to charge the battery again (with my usage I don't need to recharge after every ride). #bikes #PAS #bicycles #cycling #ActiveMobility @ebikes @bikes @mastobikes

During #bitsundbaeume22 I realised I need a 2nd account for all the stuff I care about apart from #organic food, #trains, #bicycles and #sustainableTourism: So here comes @trish for the #activist part of me. #neuhier

The #organictraveller account will continue with #travelnotes, #restaurantreviews, notes on #ActiveMobility and #planetfriendly #food, in short: with the #goodlife. #althier

I'll unfollow some of you from this account and move you over to @trish, to keep things tidier.

@rdfhrn
Yes! That is* the formula to determining the ideal number of bikes! 😅

I've actually asked this question before and was given that formula. 😁

But I was just watching #GCN and they had a poll, and I'm seeing more and more bikers/cyclists here on Mastodon and thought I'd ask again -- also considering other #ActiveMobility modes of transportation.
