Are you at the #StrongTowns #Portland #Urbanist social Hour(s) #pdx #pdxBikes 4-7pm on Rainbow Road

this is another very common example where I live, narrow bidirectional streets for all type of circulation, there are parked cars on both sides, the sidewalks are even small for pedestrians and the only way to pass is to go behind a car and without exceed them because a motorcyclist could pass by there at any time.

Big props, major ups, large praise, to the new #CheebaHut #Boulder #Colorado, for turning this parking lot into lovely outdoor seating! LOL @ the parking FAQ too!

As an ersatz #cycling #fuckcars #urbanist, I'm a big fan.

+ will eat & drink there! See you @ Happy Hour!

This is not Activism

This is MLM Grift.

#WindsorON #YQG #Cycling #Urbanist activists are making a big deal that Windsor is hosting the #OntarioBikeSummit2025 in late May.

I'm not going to link to the website, because they want to charge attendees who register "early" (Before April 15th) $550 plus "fees and taxes". After April 15th, this cost goes up to, get this $775 +

The vast majority of people in this community who NEED Active, Alternative, Accessible, Affordable #VisionZero infrastructure and policies are EXACTLY the people who these "Advocates" have decided to price out of participating.

#Urbanism in general suffers from an egregious #Privlidge issue, but this is absolutely disgusting.

You can be guaranteed that these groups, these people, will be there shilling their books, their membership fees, their Patreon Pages, more than they do anything else

#Atlanta is doing a forever-long, much-needed zoning rewrite. They are soliciting soooo much feedback for so. many. meetings.

At this point I can't tell if it's a strategy to exhaust the NIMBYs & get it approved OR exhaust the the #urbanist folks into giving up.

hi my partner knows how to touch computers so now we're on self-hosted instance so i guess here's my updated #introduction!

i'm sam and I'm a #science #teacher who lives with my partner, aurora (@celestiallavendar@icedoatmilk.coffee), and our #cat, cheeto
Honestly, these days i am just trying to constantly learn more and read more and do more and explore new hobbies, especially being an #urbanist (i'm obsessed with #publictransit) and #actuallyautistic (meaning i'm too burnt out to actually do things)
anyways, i'd love to make more #friends so feel free to follow or talk to me, especially if you're also a queer chaos gremlin too

On the plus side #Missouri has voted to legalize abortion, and #STL has voted for some #urbanist local amendments.

Time to update my #introduction

I'm a music obsessive in Seattle, currently learning Spanish. I'm an aspiring #urbanist too. That's pretty much it for now.

My favorite artists are Stevie Wonder, Prince, Amon Düül II (and I), Stereolab, High Llamas, Thin Lizzy, 808 State and Penguin Cafe Orchestra -- but I love many more artists as well.

Just launched my account on tenforward.social, so it's time for an #introduction!

I'm a writer and artist and I like to combine those in the form of comics. I had a modestly successful webcomic back in the day and bringing it back is my full-time job at the moment. You can see my art stuff at @nickthewright@mastodon.art!

I also sometimes make videos, video games, podcasts and I occasionally even do improv. You can see all my various stuff at https://nickthewright.com

My core fandom is #StarTrek and I volunteer for #TrekTrack at #DragonCon. I've been into #anime almost as long as I've been into Trek, and I grew up with Ranma 1/2, Kimagure Orange Road, and Dirty Pair (currently I'm really enjoying Frieren). I also like Star Wars and other generally geeky stuff.

I'm an #Xennial. I support #trans and #queer rights, I'm #leftist af, #antifascist and #anticapitalist. I'm #vegan, #bicyclist, #urbanist and #atheist.

If none of that scares you, hi!

If you have the phrase, #Marxist #Geography, on your #urbanist #YouTube bingo card, do I have the video for you. I show where I prefer protected bike lanes as well as share my thoughts on the, self-proclaimed aspirational, most bike-friendly city in the U.S.

New in Happy Cities:

“French Revolution: Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists In Paris”

One of the world's great #urbanist wins this decade. Every major car-centric city should be looking at what Paris has accomplished!

Another really great video from one of my favorite urbanist YouTube channels: https://youtu.be/CHZwOAIect4?si=W7fBN8T8Cv4UqK5f #transportation #urbanist

I’m riding on an #Amtrak #train that parallels and #highway and noticed that the side of the highway is lined with litter but people can’t throw their trash out of a train window so the train tracks are litter-free. Yet another way that car dependency destroys our environment but people just accept it because you don’t see the damage from a car window.

Hey Mastodon, I want your favorite bite-sized interesting facts about bikes or urbanism! I will be displaying them in the Bike Fun iOS app while the rides load in, like you see in this example. #urbanism #urbanist #cycling #biketooter #pdxbikes #bikes #partypace #groupride

Did not expect the most contentious holiday topic to be public transportation but here we are. Thanks #urbanism / #urbanist fedi!

Quick tip for anyone who wants more urbanism/urban planning/cycling/public transport posts in their Mastodon feed.

Thanks to the wonders of the Fediverse, you can follow and post to Lemmy groups from Mastodon.

Here are some transport/planning/cycling groups to get you started:

@urbanism

@fuck_cars

@trains@lemmy.ml

@ukpublictransport

@trains@midwest.social

@melbournetrains

@sydneytrains

@brisbanetrains

@bicycling@lemmy.ml

@bicycling@lemmy.world

@utilitycycling

For those unfamiliar with it, Lemmy is basically a federated version of Reddit, distributed across multiple servers like Mastodon. (For anyone who wants to delve further, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, and aussie.zone are three popular Lemmy instances.)

From Mastodon, you can follow any Lemmy group by following its handle, exactly the same way that you would follow a Mastodon account. Any new posts to that group will then begin appearing in your Mastodon feed.

Even better, if you start a thread on Mastodon, you can also post it to a relevant Lemmy group just by including its handle in your post. (Please note this only seems to work with the first post of a thread.)
