Reddit rabbit hole: found a photo of one of America's first bike lanes from @CityofDavis circa 1967. Wide lane that doesn't push cyclists into gutter, protective barrier, parking has buffer to avoid dooring. Where did we go wrong? reddit.com/r/urbanplanning/c…

In an increasingly disruptive world, bikeshare is emerging as a serious policy alternative for cities to turn to when systems fail. Time to scale 'em up. Latest piece for @CityLab talks solutions, history, and my own experience the day after Ida: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

When it comes to sustainable street space allocation, the debate is too often framed as what is lost rather than what is gained. With that in mind, this image shows 46 net on-street parking spaces gained.

1/3 of @lyft's shared micromobility users are students, from @debsarctica at #SUMC2022. Exposing students to shared micromobility = starting to build a stickiness of habitual shared mobility

Anyone else waiting for a music video set to Daft Punk's Touch It/Technologic but it's actually about docking bikes and scooters? .. use it.. work it.. plug it.. dock it..
☀️ CDOT welcomed a new member to the @Divvy family this morning. Divvy scooters 🛴 are available downtown and are fully integrated into the existing system. #DivvyScooters #YourCDOT #TransportationTuesday #BeSAFE #ShareTheRoad

How great would biking in America would be if every road had an off street bike path lined with tulips in a bioswale?

Divvy is the first U.S. bikeshare system to install ebike charging stations! Today we're piloting the first 5 charging stations capable of charging our new Divvy ebike. Now more ebikes will be available & our operations will be even more sustainable 🌏 ride.divvybikes.com/blog/ele…
