The Dept of Transportation is now going after 'DEI' bike lanes??

"Why do you need to take down bicycle safety, of all things? We’re not making the sites better, faster or quicker, you know, able to provide real information to the communities that use these resources ... It’s asinine.” - anonymous source

For my fellow USians, 10kph is 6.2mph, so this is roughly 20, 25, 30, 37, 45 mph. Just for reference. #bikes #bikesafety

May is Bicycle month!
This free (for this month) online ebike safety course might interest some riders here, or someone you know!
Edit: it seems that this course is for the USA, but apparently the workaround is to just put in any American address. Like a McDonald's or anything. That'll let you then participate.
"The course is about 90 minutes, but you can pause at any time and pick up where you left off. Once completed, you’ll earn a certificate to show you’re ready for the road."

#VirtualEvent - Join us for Monthly #Maine #BikePed Meetups!
May 18, 2026
"Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another!
In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations.
Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (Link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

The Cycling merit badge helps Scouts learn how to ride safely and care for their bikes 🚴 They practice road safety, basic repairs, and ride planning.
Long rides build endurance and teach goal setting. Scouts also learn responsibility by maintaining their bikes and following safety rules. It is a great way to stay active while gaining outdoor skills ⚜️

Bicycle rodeos are a great time to add cheers, applause, and songs 🚲 These activities keep Cub Scouts engaged while reinforcing bike safety lessons.
A hand signal cheer helps Scouts remember left, right, and stop signals. A silly applause acts out riding up and down hills. These simple traditions add laughter and help safety lessons stick ⚜️

Wild close-call in Karlstad! I’m cycling slowly on Västra Torggatan when a woman and a man step right in front of a patrolling police car — I had to brake hard. Tense and baffling, a great reminder to stay alert on the road. Quick clip from Bicycle adventures. #Cycling #Bikelife #UrbanCycling #BikeSafety #Karlstad #Sweden #English

This #FreeCADFriday is a good opportunity to print a wall hanger for your bicycle helmets.
I used woodfill PLA and it came out pretty posh, if I may say so myself. 😄

Biking is a fun way for Scouts to stay active 🚲 It also teaches responsibility and awareness.
Safe riding starts with a helmet and a bike that fits. Quick checks before riding help prevent problems. Bright clothing and reflectors make Scouts easier to see.
Paying attention, avoiding hazards, and following traffic rules keeps every ride safer, whether it’s a long trip or a short ride nearby 😊

Came 🤏 close to being obliterated by a Ute driver on Dynon road today. The driver decided to run a red light while I was cycling.
He saw me, didn’t even brake, and forged on.
Thankfully I head checked and did some evasive action to avoid it. He didn’t even stop.

Thoughts about Ireland and bikes:
We didn’t see a great, comprehensive cycling infrastructure across the country, or even in the big cities. Nonetheless there are a lot of folks on bikes and there are some great cycling sections to be found. Many of which cities like #Denver could emulate to good effect.

For all those bicyclist voters in #CambridgeMA attached find a useful graphic from Cambridge Bike Safety regarding the candidate's support of safe streets.
