Drivers aren't just killing cyclists on quarantine-emptied roads — they're also leaving them to die there.

There's a natural tension between providing for undeserved areas and achieving the density needed for the system to work

A shift in messaging about how America gets from one place to another is emerging. At his confirmation hearing, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg pointedly called out the auto-centrism and inequities of our transportation system and noted the economic success cities like his own South Bend have had by making transportation options like biking and walking safer and easier to access. Could we possibly be on the verge of a transportation system that actively serves all Americans, whether they drive or not? Is it finally time to provide real mobility to those that have been denied and harmed by policies of the past? Could transportation infrastructure actually become part of the solution to climate change instead of a liability?

Very few pedestrians are being struck and injured by cyclists — and such injuries are dropping dramatically as more and more cities, especially New York, build more protected infrastructure for bike riders.

A good bike boulevard is apparently like pornography — you know it when you see it.
