"a 51-year-old woman failed to place her GMC Acadia in park and got out of the SUV, which rolled about 75 yards downhill and [killed a child on the sidewalk outside of a school] shortly before 12:30 p.m. [#Seattle] Police have not publicly identified and did not arrest the woman, who ...was not impaired." #BanCars #FuckCars #ACAB #VisionZero #DriverAccountability #CrashNotAccident

β€œThe way (Seattle police) approached them, explained things, was like, β€˜Move on. This is an accident. Accidents happen,’” said Ajema.

#banCars and we have all the infrastructure we need


As I wrestle once again with the annual agony of getting the car MOT’d and serviced (made worse by trying a new garage who’ve turned out to be useless so I will get to do some of it again next week at my usual place), and look at the insurance renewal that has just come through and while lower than last year is painful, I would really really like it if society would stop forcing me to own the bloody thing.

@daihard ours were LLLNNN and then they just switched to NNNLLL. The ZZZ999 plates were ~2004 and now we're on Q-something. Maybe when we run out this time they'll just stop. 🀞 #BanCars

IDK about "I gave $100k to the richest man in the world before everybody knew he was an asshole", but honking at people on bikes, especially when you could just move into the empty extra lane, is a vote for Elon. #BanCars #FuckCars


It seems like a bigger city could achieve much of the #urbanism and livability of a college town, at lower #housing prices, if we just had more car-free spaces and enough people who are poor and/or smart enough to use bikes. #BanCars #FuckCars #transit

Car culture is killing us.

Car culture kills cyclists.
Car culture kills clean air.
Car culture kills children.
Car culture kills wildlife.
Car culture kills fitness.
Car culture kills the environment.
Car culture kills friendliness.
Car culture kills pedestrians.
Car culture kills equality.
Car culture kills the atmosphere.
Car culture kills serenity.
Car culture kills!

Imagine a bike lane protected with courthouse-grade #bollards 😍 #BanCars


Periodically some people call for cyclists to pay β€œroad tax” saying that they contribute to wear on the roads etc. so should pay towards maintenance.
As I understand it the amount of wear a vehicle causes varies based on the fourth power of the axle weight.
So if I’ve got my sums right, having a charge of a pound a month for a bicycle, and taxing motorists in direct proportion to difference in damage done to road could look something like this…

wtf they park on the bike lane / sidewalk to access this gas station??? #BanCars


On of my kid's teachers canceled a meeting with us today because his car wouldn't start in the cold. Cars, as always, remain incredibly stupid.

#FuckCars #BanCars

[edit: And I don't mean that he couldn't, like, drive to our silly little meeting or something. I mean that he actually had to take the day off of work because he couldn't drive to school.]


As a native of #NYCβ€”not a transplantβ€”whose family has lived in NYC for over a century, I have a thing to say about this.

The reason we treat our #sidewalks like highways is because we treat our streets like highways.

Get rid of the fucking cars. There would be plenty of room for strolling, if not for the fucking noisy #idiotboxes taking up too much space and #polluting the air.

Je profite de la blague, pour rappeler que la neige est un excellent outil urbanistique pour s'interroger sur l'usage de la voirie : blog.elueslocales.fr/delegatio…

Why is a narrow neighborhood street with no bike lanes (and barely a sidewalk on one side) carrying all of this car traffic to/past the schools? Car traffic will *always* expand to fill the space it is given. And because drivers behave like toddlers, most people will not choose to bike that mile or two. If your #TrafficEngineering doesn't account for human nature, you are wasting our time, money, #ClimateAction.

There is, always, the option to simply not give cars every possible concession they might like. #BanCars is a spectrum, but we're at the wrong extreme end of it with the status-quo.


The amount of trouble people go through to try to stay safe while riding a bike in our absolutely stupid #transportation infrastructure, vs the amount of ease with which every single driver (yes all drivers) ruin your chances of being not "accidentally" killed... I think #BanCars is the only logical option now, given that we've tried absolutely nothing and it's not helping #VisionZero, #ClimateCrisis, #HousingCrisis. #LegalizeBikes


Fuck, it's a ghost town. The #CongestionPricing critics were right all along. I'm so happy that NYC finally did #BanCars!


Want to be happy? Then don’t buy a car!

Instead choose a bike, a cargo bike, or an e-bike. 🚲 That is the route to true happiness. πŸ€—

So for three glorious days, we stayed in hotels along Kāʻanapali Beach on Maui - around 3 miles of connected (with public walkways) beach with hotels, activities, restaurants, stores, etc, without a car in sight. Three days of not seeing or hearing a fucking car.

Then yesterday we went elsewhere for kayaking, and our launch spot was right off a main road. It's so incredibly jarring to hear (and smell) the awfulness that is cars after even a short reprieve from them. #BanCars


Funny how the business association endorsing a candidate matches up with them talking about cops and "accidents" in the BikeLoud Q&A responses. It's almost like the PBA's thumb on the scale for #carSupremacy is somehow responsible for #Vision60or70something deaths on our streets. #VisionZero #PolicyFailure #CrashNotAccident #BanCars #ACAB #bollards

Welcome to "the software industry owns your ability to access daily needs", are we ready to #BanCars yet?

Serious question: Is anyone making a list of where it may be possible to purchase a *new* car that isn't just spyware on wheels? I've seen the Consumer Reports study but it all just looks like varying degrees of suckiness.

I'd also settle for one that doesn't make it hard to turn all the tracking off permanently. Or maybe someone's got a nifty piece of hardware that can be plugged in to nix all this nonsense?



We got blank checks for billions of dollars in freeway widening but need to have a bake sale for kids to ride their bikes to school. Maybe we spent too much getting cars a free ride to school, and a few hundred million for flashing lights is just more car infrastructure anyway. #BanCars #SchoolStreets #BikeBus #defundDOTs
