  1. This is how normalized car-centrism and traffic violence are - kids doing wheelies towards an oncoming car is scary and annoying as shit. YES, it makes you wonder what the hell their parents are doing and are up to. BUT there are at least two comments on this thread threatening to run such kids down with a car and even in "Platinum Bike-Friendly Davis", that gets little pushback.

  6. Heads up, disabled UC Irvine Anteaters.

    "Speaking of the victims of traffic violence, Christian forwarded news over the weekend that an 87-year old man was killed by a driver while riding a mobility scooter in Irvine Thursday night....

    The victim was an 87-year old man who needed a mobility scooter to get around. But cops somehow had to blame him because he couldn’t clear the crosswalk fast enough for a driver who couldn’t manage to avoid someone on a mobility device directly in front of them."

    No mention of distracted and reckless drivers of needlessly and increasingly large motor vehicles.

    No mention of #motorism as a cause of #trafficviolence.

    #DyrenesBeskyttelse is a fake animal rights NGO, who are blaming the killed deer for being active during spring.

    I am also more active during spring, but that's no excuse for killing me!?

  21. Our sympathy to the family and friends of the longtime Monterey County resident who died yesterday after his bicycle and an SUV collided in Pebble Beach.

    We are keeping his name private for now. And we have no CHP report or other details about the collision, so we’re unable to offer any comments about the specific circumstances (or to confirm whether the details reported by media are accurate). ksbw.com/article/deadly-crash-

    It’s not anticipated that a #GhostBike will be installed, since the fatal collision happened in Pebble Beach, which is private property (as noted in our tips for biking 17-Mile Drive, PB bikemonterey.org/biking-17-mil).

  26. Awful to learn that a driver killed a cyclist Sunday night at Alemany & Naglee in the Outer Mission, District 11. Alemany is a high-traffic road with a buffered but unprotected bike lane, and this is further south than where Cayuga ends, so Cayuga Slow Street is not an alternative here.

  31. Jennifer Lynn Chatman of Salinas died Nov 3, 2025 after her bicycle was struck by the trailer of a semi truck at the intersection of South Sanborn Road and Work Street, Salinas.

    As we told Sara Rubin, #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly editor, infrastructure such as protected bike lanes with a physical barrier are what’s most needed to keep people who bike safer. In general, paint on pavement provides little to no real benefit in preventing fatalities.

    Nevertheless, one “paint on pavement” practice we would like to see far more of — and which possibly could have saved Jennifer’s life — is bike boxes at intersections.

  39. Traffic accidents are always sobering, but they hit different when you recognize the location. I used to eat at the food truck that was parked where this picture was taken.

    > witness accounts shared in The Oregonian say the driver was going at least 70 mph.

    > In total, the driver who caused this mid-day rampage hit six people.
