So his unfortunate opinion/advice is that we as pedestrians and bicyclists, should stay out of the way of motor vehicles. Sad. Roads are for people, not only for people in cars.

Roads are for people, not only for people in cars.
"If you ask people what streets are for, they say cars. That's opposite of what they said one hundred years ago...Streets—venues of myriad public activities as late as 1920—were redefined as exclusive transport ways."
And Tell your local govt and state DOTs to: - Build complete networks and streets - Prioritize fixing existing streets to complete street stds. - Invest in safe transit bicycling, walking and rolling infrastructure. - Lower speed limits - What's on your list?
This trend is extremely distressing. Tell your friends, neighbors, family, everyone: 🐢 Slow down 📵 Don’t drive distracted ❌🍺 Drive sober 🚗 Buckle up

Cars aren’t freedom. Mobility is freedom. The ability to get where you need to go without paying $700/month for a motor vehicle is freedom. Good public transit, bike lanes, and walkable streets are freedom.
Cars aren't just a symbol of freedom — they play an essential role in the economy. And yet, for more and more Americans owning a car is becoming unaffordable. n.pr/3OE2SzD

A long #FourthofJuly weekend means more time to #drivelessbikemore! Where to? There are so many ways to embrace the #bicycle -- even when making long trips by car. Roadtrip to the beach? Bike to the grocery store to get your favorite snacks for the road before you go! 🚲

The fun and, yes, the challenges met make bicycling my first choice for most of my travels.

San Diego is planning to add protected bike lanes to a one-mile section of Park Boulevard in University Heights, continuing a push from Mayor Todd Gloria to improve the safety and comfort of biking amid record high gas prices and a spike in traffic deaths. kpbs.us/3uocQfT
