It's simply amazing, how people will bend their brains around cars. But the absolute failure to apply basic logic to the problems cars cause you and your city is understandable. I mean, who can think their way out of a paper bag with a car parked in their head?

Over the next few months, Cobb County, officials will begin public outreach to get feedback on proposals pay for a bus rapid transit system.

“The majority of voters that support this project . . . are unable to show up and voice their support in part due to the very lack of transit that we’re trying to get in place now.”

From now on, I will hashtag actionable news items (meetings, elections, etc.) with + state code; for example, a story from Colorado would be tagged . So, if you support and other causes, follow or set a notification for + your state, and you’ll know when I post something somewhat close to you.
 
Boosts appreciated, and I promise I won’t abuse the tags! 2/2

An SF SUV driver who parked in the Cabrillo BL told me he's allowed to park in the BL bc he lives there and that he's a cyclist. He told me he rides a "real bike".

I was carrying my large analog bike on my cargo bike at the time.

I told him my kids bike in this BL, laughed and rode away.

Short ride yesterday due to the covid fatigue. I'm in a narrow road with cars parked along one side. Cartwat behind beeps at me. 'get over' he shouts, clearly thinking I should be in the gutter so he can squeeze past.
I turn right (he'd have killed me if he'd tried to overtake) and he shouts at me again. 'get a fu*****g car'
Really? I'd still be in the way...

State College city council approved the use of eminent domain to bulldoze four local businesses and a house to build a parking garage. Their argument: not have the parking garage could harm businesses...

It's not a great story but it's real.

I share it because it's illustrative of the entitlement of (many) motorists.
She knew enough to not take her call in the middle of the street. But the bike lane is fair game?

And then she somehow thinks she's attacking a bike rider by filming him riding on the bike lane (as intended) while driving dangerously herself?

It's .
I'm sure she can't see it and that's very sad.

-I took a photo of your car because it was blocking the bike lane.
-I was taking a phone call, I had to stop.
-You can't park in the bike lane.
-I'm going to do the same to you.-she says as she starts filming me (while driving my speed, approx 23k/h)
-Ok
-How do you like being recorded?
-It's fine, I'm not doing anything wrong. You shouldn't use your phone while driving tho.
-I'll post you online.
-ok

Car behind her honks, she swears and rage drives away.

The car behind me started whaling on their horn like it was going out of style and the car coming towards me on the other side of the intersection decided that they’d take advantage of my pause and zoom through the intersection—nearly colliding with the cyclist and then nearly colliding with me when I took my turn after the cyclist had cleared.

Fucking
