@james Well, is it a question of whether killing some people to enable faster driving is worth it, or whether you actually get to your destination faster in a system where you're at risk of getting killed or doing some killing when anybody makes a simple mistake? If it's a matter of politics, let's be specific about what we're trading for what, exactly. IDK if better video production of & co would make people realize they are not saving time, especially in the long run.

@tmstreet We need to quit reinforcing this fallacy that is on the line when is challenged. This system of bouncing between deadly speeds and standstill / is unpredictable and inconvenient for , many of whom are not driving by choice, or very long trips, but choose cars for fear of cars / lack of enough space having been allocated to bike/walk/transit options. & costs them $5-10k/yr, classist entry fee to society.

@ingalls @scott the '"green wave" speed in downtown Portland is like 12-15mph. They change it based on the time of day, I wish they would have a readout that says what it is. (Would that stop drivers from racing to stop in front of me?)

to all four of these speeding who passed me on Terwilliger to wait at the red light. Why does prioritize extra lane width and speed just to waste it waiting on cross-traffic? Cars can't get out of their own way and we're sacrificing the and of our entire system, and hopes of , in a futile effort to make car travel faster than 15mph. Note, the painted bike gutter isn't even continuous.

riding from Terwilliger, Capitol Hwy, Barbur, and Naito to downtown
these drivers then follow the sharrows to hell. This entire stretch of and Naito is such a waste and 100% the mayor's fault, even if it is ODOT's road. Note the temporary fence where a scooter user (probably) went over the sidewalk, took out the guardrail on their way down the cliff.

@enobacon I love catching them at the next light. Happy smile and wave on the outside, deep pools of sarcastic delight on the inside.

How many of these cars that you're next to here at the red light are the ones that flew past you on the bridge @activetowns ? Seems like at least a few.

Got flipped off by a driver who was aggressively tailgating me, with a kid on my bike, due to us having delayed her reaching a red light by about 5 seconds (not quite long enough to save her from coming to a full stop, must be an environmentalist πŸ™„.)

This one did finally back off a little (I was doing 20-25mph) maybe once they saw that the light was red but seriously what is wrong with people
