🔁 Announcement: U+ & Bikesky have joined forces on Discord! We're looking to expand together and I hope y'all check it out!
The feeds will remain separate but we think rather than fragment our overlapping communities on another platform we join forces to better serve everyone :)
U+ and Bikesky have a long history of working together and I'm (@fema.monster) excited to work with Bikesky (@derek.bike) again!
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that you'll also meet some of the wonderful folks on the discord that help moderate the feeds and keep things running!
I couldn't do it alone! And they're also the ones that motivate me the most to keep going and expanding my skill set -- which has and will continue to translate to some pretty neat stuff in the future. I digress.
Hop on the discord and post about whatever interests you!
Hey urbanism friends, if y'all enjoy Urbanism+ be sure to check out the discord: discord.gg/kn5aafPHga
It's pretty chill and we have a nice little community of woke orange pilled folks that would love to tell you how much they like trains and bike lanes.

friendly reminder that Bikesky has a labeler, and it includes an Anti-Cyclist label that you can use if you’d rather not see people being nasty towards bike enjoyers

@urbanism.plus I’m proud to be part of a municipal housing taskforce that recommended its city acquire a $10M housing bond which passed last week. Still a lot of work ahead of us. Would love to hear if anybody has any resources that could help put these dollars to their best & highest possible use.
I had the joy of experiencing my first school #bikebus today, to take my godson on Budlong’s inaugural ride! #bikechi
Favorite kid quotes:
“It’s like a school bus but with bike wheels”
“This is the best way to get to school”
“I could do this everyday”
I wrote a longform post on some of my thoughts, pictures, videos and experiences with Chinese urbanism. But Noah Smith consistently misses the mark on what living in urban China is actually like as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese cities. Link in next post.
Our non-existent pedestrian infrastructure along arterials is inexcusable. Concrete barriers should be a legally required bare minimum effort
(at Access NS, Bayer's Lake, 311'd numerous times)
EVs are, at best, harm reduction.
A sedan EV/compact car is better than an E-SUV.
Walkable urban neighborhoods, ebikes, and transit are even better than EVs.
opposition to bus lanes from people who have more cars than can fit in their driveway and live a resulting life of carbrain-inflicted misery are the equivalent of people who take more than their share of food at a function and start complaining that they have a stomach ache
Probably not much of an issue on unsealed trails. Their inherent instability will likely make them less enjoyable on a longer journey such as along a rail trail. However there will be some who choose to use them.

Cargo bikes are still so rare in America that rolling up to the grocery store on one gets you stares like you just arrived to star in a WWF cage match...
There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.
Thank you to the 60+ of you who took part in Birmingham’s #KidicalMass cycle ride today - what a brilliant turnout 🙌💚

okay yeah walking around seattle.... actual bike lanes not filled with glass. sidewalks that are wide and not 80% broken. bus only lanes. actual shade.
amazing. who knew this was possible!???
i'm not well-travelled so i don't know if LA, especially DTLA, is uniquely bad about this but i am continually astounded by how dirty the city is. can we get a guy with a pressure washer like twice a year at least? paint newer than 15-20 years? i'm not even asking for the sidewalks to be fixed!!!
Our little bike bus is a toddler!
And after our ride I ended up joining a baby sibling bike bus riding to a nearby French school too!
Many happy kids and parents 😎
Good morning! I am in an office tower in midtown Atlanta where the marta board and senior leadership is having a "retreat". They will be discussing the draft operating and capital budgets for the first time, and also receive briefings on federal grants.
Follow me and @thexylom.com for more updates:
I just want people to have affordable and accessible housing close to employment and educational opportunities with pleasant and convenient active and public transportation options.
Is that too much to ask?
