@melpomenesclevage One Idea I had was to take a big battery powered drill to make a few holes in the street. Then drive some rebar into the holes. Prepare a large diameter piece of bright colored capped PVC pipe about a meter long filled with wet concrete with a hole in one end for the rebar. Slide the PVC concrete bollard over the rebar and let it dry overnight. With proper planning, less than 5 minutes doing crime on the public road late at night. #FuckCars #Bollards #BikeLanes

Bike lane on sidewalk in North Philly neighborhood draws mixed reactions

"On Erie Avenue between Broad Street and Old York Road, a bike lane is currently on the sidewalk rather than the street...Members of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia said you’ll eventually see more bike lanes on sidewalks around the city. "

Ew, I don't like that much. Take the space away from cars, not pedestrians!

Our politicians keep telling us what we want or don't want, but when it comes down to it, most people know that cities need to be more green.

Good for you, Hobart, following similar recent stories in Paris and Vancouver.

A classic cycling situation. A sign that says there is a cycleway, but no cycle way to be seen.

We eventually realised that the two way cycleway mentioned was the shoulder of the road which had some mid protections later on.

A photo of a women with a bicycle on the grass on the side of a road. She is looking down on her phone. A sign in the foreground says 'start of cycle way". The road has a wide shoulder.

A photo of the road shoulder further down. The shoulder disappears but the cycleway continues on the other side of the road. The speed limit is 80km/h

“Last week, Secretary Duffy directed staff to start the process of clawing back millions in discretionary dollars for #bikelanes. How will he spend it instead?”
“If that means less discretionary money for great #safety projects now, that doesn't bode well for a more holistic approach to #safety in the next surface #transportation reauthorization bill”
