So sorry! Hope you are OK!
Pedestrians and bicyclists are the "canaries in the mine shaft" in the realm of traffic violence. Traffic violence that involves motorists only occurs 4x-5x more often. But it's more deadly for pedestrians and bicyclists with 10% of crashes, but 35% of fatalities/injuries.

"Critics say the standards should have come sooner, and that they don’t appear to require that the systems spot people on bicycles, scooters or other vulnerable people." I say that! You can watch me say that for about 16 minutes in this video youtu.be/yI3ld4YliS4?si…
Curb bump-outs have been added on Indiana Avenue where the Fall Creek Trail connects to the new extension of the Cultural Trail, removing an unsafe lane of traffic that abruptly ended on the Indiana Avenue bridge.

Monon/86th - 3rd bicyclist hit within 2 months (1st 2 were March 2, 2024)

For those that may not be aware, the Monon-Pogue’s Greenway is a planned connection between the Monon Trail and Pogue’s Run Greenway using abandoned Indianapolis Union Railway right of way. Here’s the email I sent, and I encourage others to do the same.
500 miles of Circuit Trails by 2025 will be a reality soon, but we need your help! Learn how you can make a difference here: circuittrails.org/get-involved/ #CelebrateTrails #OnTheCircuit
"Despite bicycling being considered ten times more dangerous than driving, the evidence suggests that high-bicycling-mode-share cities are not only safer for bicyclists but for all road users."
@davidhelms570 According to NHTSA data, 32% of motorists who hit a bicyclist while overtaking them and then did not stop (committing a hit-and-run), "misjudged space" It feels like we're going out of our way to remove driver responsibility
Kids should be able to safely walk and ride their bikes to school. Period. Too often city leaders see walking/biking as recreation only, and not as transportation. Forget ‘Randall the Runner’ and ‘Larry the Lycra Cyclist’. What about little Jessica just trying to get to school?

Cool bill in California An odd change to the #MUTCD was changed guidance on sharrows so that they "should not be placed on roadways that have a speed limit of 40 mph or greater" instead of "on roadways that have a speed limit above 35 mph" mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/pdfs/11th_Edit… (Section 9E.09)

Kudos to @IndyDPW for prioritizing trail crossing safety as part of the Monon Trail expansion and Nickel Plate Trail projects. They are looking at improvements ranging from HAWK signals to built environment changes. #visionzero #safety indianapolis.granicus.com/player/clip/23…
We’ve been receiving an uptick of bike lane obstructions from Lexington, KY. Report bike lane obstruction from anywhere in the USA and Canada with our mobile app bikelaneuprising.com
This was going to continue to be two car lanes but then people who care spoke up and asked for better and got it. It's a small thing, but it's a nice reminder of why it's important to get involved even when it's frustrating.

We tried to come up with an idea to top this, but decided sometimes it’s better to just play the hits!
To be clear, I am glad for this technology. We should do everything to say lives. But we use tech that saves a few lives to get out of designing our roads well and say tens of thousands of lives.
We have a crisis of roadway deaths in this country—and today we’re taking a major step toward addressing this with our new rule on automatic emergency braking.
I think I’m good. No breaks afaik, but I haven’t been to the doctor yet. We’ll see. I’m angry for obvious reasons, but also extremely bummed because i really liked my bike and now i’ll have to get a new one.
I was headed north on alabama, they were headed west on 16th. I had a green, about 15 seconds into a green. Dude ran the red and smoked me. Hit the front half of my bike and sent me flying. I rolled off the hood and hit the ground hard. Hit my head.
@Kenmcld Feels weird to see @NHTSAgov complain about "the state of knowledge" without acknowledging the existence of AEB Cyclist standards in Euro NCAP. Why can't they simply copy these? euroncap.com/en/car-safety/…

New traffic calming curb bump out in front of the Kan Kan Theater on Indy’s Near Eastside will prevent drivers from using the street as a high speed four lane road in this busy neighborhood commercial node!
