Not that many years ago, when walking on a sidewalk the sight of an adult cyclist on the sidewalk would annoy me. I mean, they just weren’t supposed to be there! Jerks! But these days when I see someone cycling on the sidewalk, as I did today, I see a person for whom the transportation infrastructure around them has failed them, and made them feel unsafe. And I’m glad to see that they’ve taken to the sidewalk to ride safely.

I wish I knew more about this project in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
I suspect this is part of bus driver training.

I'm imagining the DMV making it a part of every driving test for your license. Some people learn best by experiencing the consequences of their actions from the victim's perspective.

I finally got around to fixing bikehero.io

Use it to find and add bicycle repair stations to @openstreetmap

So you've tried taking your bike on a train, but have you tried taking your train on a bike?
