Had 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!

Pickup Truck Guy: A Brief Psychoanalysis

Nachdem ich dieses Video vom #Citynerd über Verkehrsflussmodellierung gesehen habe, schwant mir, warum die "Realität" vom Modell abweicht. 😅

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgJ998KHBpc&t=1162s

Kurz gesagt: Wenn man nur versucht, die gleichen Fahrten auf ein leicht verändertes Straßenmodell (-> kaputte Brücke) abzubilden und Verkehrsverpuffung etc. (sog. "Menschen") ignoriert, dann wirds halt scheiße.

@nancylwayne Yes, that's totally been my experience too. Even with the poor frequencies and occasional massive delay, it's still my preferred way to travel longer distances.

Also it's a bit tragic how much passenger rail the U.S. used to have, but lost. #CityNerd did a video on it which you might enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svao4PZ4bGs

New #CityNerd video about #Melbourne. I'm looking forward to his thoughts about my home.

I'm tickled to see this shot of my favourite laneway (Centre Place) showing Channie's bagel place on the left. @eyebrowofdoom and I had lunch there today 💕

Great video walkthrough from #CityNerd on the safety and environmental improvements in mighty #Hoboken . We are working on very similar strategies here in Charlottesville but they are way ahead. #SafeStreets #VisionZero #CleanWater #Walkable https://youtu.be/gwu1Cf8G9u8

Excellent video for understanding an important current of right wing identity politics in the USA.

I loved Ray's discussion of "rural cosplay" which is actually a thing he didn't invent, even if you might imagine he did. It's amazing there's so much academic work on this already.

Excellent #CityNerd interview with special guest Sec. Pete! 👍🤘

All the more reason to spend more time here on #Mastodon.
I really wanted to say something edgy and controversial, but I drew a blank.
Great video. It's really important to talk about all this stuff right now with the election coming.
When some clown on Twitter complained to me about Potholes, I suggested we raise taxes on big SUVs to pay to fix them.
You can imagine how that went.
But what do we expect from a platform owned by a prominent fascist!

City Nerd just posted an pretty awesome piece on Detroit. Overall, I think its fair and worth a watch.

The shot at Little Caesers pizza, however, was uncalled for :D

I feel like @nerd4cities is getting more militant these days. And I like that. And it's not at the expense of sarcasm either.
