Mastodon Transit Authority

Bob SverclHad a fun time meeting and chatting with folks from around the cycling, safe streets, transit, and urbanist spheres before and after attending a talk by some of my favorite car-free advocates. I picked up my copy of the book and will read it once I finish my current book (almost at the end!)And yes, I biked to and from the event! <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#seattle</a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/pnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pnw</a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/seabikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#seabikes</a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/warOnCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#warOnCars</a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/citynerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#citynerd</a>

sunset at the dog parkYay, got my copies of Life After Cars from <a href="https://mastodon.social/@TheWarOnCars" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@TheWarOnCars</a> and listened to the in person conversation through <a href="https://bird.makeup/users/litquake" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@litquake</a> . Should have pushed to find my people a bit more, but turning into a pumpkin and returning home to walk my dog was just too tempting after a fortunately full week of work and healthy socializing.

Lyle Solla-YatesMy class has gotten to this bright motor age of daring death drivers and the mechanical Moloch.

HelenaI walked past the old course (St Andrews) the other day wondering if the drivers of the cars parked right beside the 1st fairway had made good decisions in their parking choices. Two cars along there was a smashed windscreen. The greenskeeper I chatted to just after said there was a car left there all day recently with 3 strikes. Front & back windscreens, plus the side mirror.I may have laughed.Edited: the people parking there are not relying on their cars for their income.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Golf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Golf</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/WarOnCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WarOnCars</a>

nolan .Longish pedal this am. Wanted to tour the intersections where protest gathering was likely. Only found one with any significant crowd, but it was lively. It is soccer season so lots of traffic around sports fields. Wore a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/waroncars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#waroncars</a> tshirt that says “youd be happier biking”. Hopefully made a mark on a caged human sitting in a stop sign line
