  1. @ascentale @bikenite A1. Tirana, Albania, where today is Day 91 of anti-corruption protest called the #FlamingoRevolution

    I saw an attempt on my bike lock, which is no bueno.

    I saw, but didn't have my camera ready, someone riding with one of those absolutely huge loads that are always so photogenic - they had somehow looped a bunch of lightweight plastic crates together on either side of the bike...you could barely see them through it.

  2. Day 90 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania

    The crowd that attends each night waxes and wanes depending on people's availability, but it has been 90 days solid. Gotta admire the Albanian people!

  5. Because the coverage is live, sometimes people come up behind someone being interviewed and hold up a sign.

    This one says (machine translated):

    "Labor pensions
    Stolen by state crime.
    State crime over the law (Article
    79) and border fact in
    Lunder protected by SPAK"

    SPAK is supposed to be the independent agency in Albania for investigating corruption. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_

    This report returns to the catalyst for the #FlamingoRevolution

    This is important, but it is also important for the international audience to understand it isn't just about the environment for Albanians. What happened in late May was a catalyst because it was the match on a decades long pile of oligarchical corruption that robs the Albanian people of what their hard work should be earning, and scatters their youth to the winds trying to find a better living somewhere else.

    They want to protect their land, but they also want to eliminate corruption and hold those who stole billions from them to be held accountable.

    Like people in many countries where AirBnB and other tourism approaches have made housing scarce and worsened the wealth gap, they also want *sustainable* tourism where the people instead of the rich benefit.

  8. @ascentale @bikenite The route the #FlamingoRevolution protest takes in the evenings just happens to have one of the better protected cycle lanes in Tirana so that's where I get some exercise.

    I forgot my real camera so my phone capture is a bit off of this tadpole cargo trike. There are a fair amount of upright cargo trikes in Albania, both delta and tadpole styles.

  9. @ascentale @yantor3d @bikenite A1a. Tirana, Albania, where today is Day 84 of anti-corruption protest called the #FlamingoRevolution

    That's remarkable that PDX does that.

    As you know, Phil, the SF Bay Area is nowhere near as good with cycle access to bridges.

    LA does CicLAvia, but it doesn't include highways. OTOH, it has included very major streets like Wilshire. LA has, unofficially, Marathon Crash...where cyclists ride the LA Marathon route in the wee hours before the Marathon starts. thelalocal.org/los-angeles-cit

    Davis has some city rides, but not taking over streets, not even a real open streets event.

  10. RE: mas.to/@meganL/117134803229193

    It's not easy keeping people protesting for 83 days solid!

    The #FlamingoRevolution benefits from having international media and eyes pay attention so please boost and watch the livestream and give it a thumbs up for a bit. It encourages folks to keep fighting corruption.

  11. Day 80 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania

    EIGHTY CONSECUTIVE DAYS of peaceful protest against institutional and governmental corruption.

  12. This is an example of the way public money is used here (in addition to the ways it is outright thieved away) that is one of the reasons Albanians are on the street protesting. The people here remain so poor with so few good prospects that most of their youth leave and join the diaspora.

    "That record gives the Vlora Airport dispute significance beyond the fate of a single infrastructure project. A new claim potentially running into hundreds of millions of euros would revive questions about how the Albanian state manages major concession contracts and why commercial disputes involving public institutions have repeatedly escalated into expensive international proceedings."

  13. Day 78 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania

    🔴Diaspora i bashkohet sërish revoltës në shesh: Kërkojmë dorëheqjen e Ramës

    This is the last night of this diaspora weekend - with many of the Albanian diaspora having traveled here again to do the protest.

    There are also a couple banners that make reference to Day 16 of the protest against the forced consolidation of the Municipality of Divjakë with the Municipality of Lushnje. So it's not a completely unrelated protest, but people are inspired to get out on the streets due to the Flamingo Revolution.

  14. Day 77 of anti-corruption protest in Tirana, Albania

    🔴“Rama, jepe dorëheqjen”! 76 ditë revoltë kombëtare kundër keqqeverisjes

    Albania has a huge diaspora scattered across many countries due to the poverty here for decades... this weekend many members of the diaspora have returned to swell the ranks of the protest.
