Glad that the cyclists have such determined lawyers in @BIKELAWcom . He may be only 16 but he deserves a very long custodial sentence if one of the purposes of punishment is going to be met. Namely to serve as a deterrent to others. – at Kimberley, England

The case of the "coal-rolling" Texan teenager in a town where a judge once told cyclists: "We don't like your type." This report is UNBELIEVABLE. @BIKELAWcom I am with you. bikelaw.com/2021/11/felony-c…

The 16yr old from Waller, Texas, who used his parents' F-250 to "roll coal" and plowed into six cyclists in September has been indicted on six counts of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon via @bikelawcom bikelaw.com/2021/11/felony-c…

You're in my way, so I'm just going to pretend you don't exist and drive right through you. In what universe does this tactic work?!?!?!?!?!? Record your ride. Make it count. See where it happened on @UpRidecc upride.cc/incident/ignorant-…

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today is a celebration of women’s achievements and a day of education, empowerment, and action. We’re luckily enough to have so many impactful women in our sport that are always giving us a reason to celebrate! How are you celebrating #IWD2021?

Our current approach to addressing the rising number of people struck and killed while walking has been a total failure. #DangerousByDesign explains why smartgrowthamerica.org/dange…

Whooooooooooooo-hoo! Congratulations to Utah! Passed overwhelmingly (28-1)! We love the "Utah Yield"! Hey @Wash_cycle! As soon as the governor signs the bill, could you please update your awesome map to include the very wise Beehive State?

Last year we experienced the largest increase in roadway death rates (fatal crashes per mile driven) in 96 years. It was a "natural" experiment revealing how dangerous our roads are with less congestion. The status quo in transportation policy is fundamentally broken.

Welcome!!!!
I'm happy to announce that I've been selected to participate in @BIKELAWcom's Ambassador Program, which seeks to make cycling safer, more sustainable, and more equitable. I can't wait to get started! bikelaw.com/bldl/

Cyclists victim-blame other cyclists more than car drivers do. I love everything else about community but I hate this. If you weren’t at the crash and are not a crash reconstructionist, STFU.

TX has another chance to enact a statewide Safe Passing Law, like the ordinance we have here in ATX & other cities. Hit the link to read how to support this effort. austin.mellowjohnnys.com/the… Hat tip to @BIKELAWcom & thanks to @BikeTexas & @bikeaustin as always. #rideyourbike

Vegas crash/ bail hearing update: We are very happy to announce that Barson has been denied bail and will remain in jail until his trial where he faces 14 counts, not 12 and over a half century of prison time.

Breaking news, and a really big deal for us. The driver that killed Arthur Carter, almost killed Jeff Adler, and injured others has been indicted on 7 counts and is in custody without bail awaiting trial. bikelaw.com/2020/12/killing-…

Stay tuned. If a bona fide threat, we are ready to fight.
The right of people who bike to ride on the road is indelible. Our policy director @Kenmcld found this change buried on page 739 of proposed regulations. We are monitoring, and if this turns out to be anything other than a typo, we'll need you in this urgent fight for our rights.
