My dad ended up in the ICU in a town about 40km away (he’s doing well). This is his normal hospital. We have 10 family members in town, and my partner and I are the only ones capable of driving. Public transportation to this hospital from our town barely exists.

I’m completely happy to take the support role, but it is alarming that without my partner and I, everything would break down. I’m switching to the medical provider in my town.

a few years ago, a small piece of the Wall of Philip Augustus II in Paris was quietly butted up against one end of a nondescript parking garage on Rue Mazarine.

today, that site is now a furniture store. centuries later, the wall continues to protect from unwelcome invasions, be they cars, the English, or the English in cars. well done.

In the most absurd view ever, there’s a group in the e Bay Area that’s trying to open a new lane to car traffic while closing it to pedestrians and bicyclists (and others) on the Richmond Bridge with the crazy goal of reducing pollution. I wish it was satire. #cycling #thewaroncars #berkeley #sfba

@docpop #thewaroncars will not end when they become driverless, it will enter the final phase.

Some dickhead parked their Tesla in the bike parking zone so I deposited my Donkey right behind it… #TheWarOnCars #CarsKillCities

@mzdt
Absolutely.
I’ll stop preaching #TheWarOnCars when they stop fighting #TheWarOnPedestrians and #TheWarOnCyclists… basically #TheWarOnPeople

@shonin ? Like some #TheWarOnCars stickers? 🤔

Sometimes, a podcast is just waaaay too short.

Ugh.
Was recently on a call where the CEO of a car insurance subsidiary noted that pedestrian deaths are up but strictly ascribed them to distracted driving (no mention of the fact that the design of cars like trucks and SUVs have drastically increased the likelihood of death in accidents with pedestrians) AND then talked about how e-bikes are bad “which is probably causing more accidents because people ride them like lunatics.”

🤦🏻‍♀️

There are Too Many Damn Cars!
Except, of Course, for the One You Happen to Own.

Adding up all my distances over the last week I did about 25km. Not bad, I think, for my first week back on the bike after almost twenty years!

Leaving distances entirely aside, I was able to get out and bike at least once each day, twice a couple times.

My hope and plan is to keep that up (weather permitting) until the 13th of September. I also want to try to get groceries at least once a week by bike during that time. #cycling #theWarOnCars

@thijs_lucas @claasgefroi Wieviel Energie (und Geld) in diesen Mythos fließt, um das Auto unantastbar zu machen.
‚FahrerIn hatte keine Chance mehr rechtzeitig zu bremsen‘
‚Aus unbekannter Ursache verlor FahrerIn Kontrolle über Fahrzeug‘
Deswegen #thewaroncars

Moments in micromobility, strolling through the city: overheard a guy extolling the virtues of an e-bike to another, contrasting it with a car; then watched a woman smash a cab light with her cane after it ran a red and almost hit her. #nyc #TheWarOnCars

My @TheWarOnCars coffee mug is proving to be a great office recruiting tool for the DC front of #TheWarOnCars.

@EricBranse
But helping anyone not in cars or making other options affordable, convenient and attractive is awful because somehow that is #TheWarOnCars and we can’t do that!
