The barrier to #30daysOfBiking for most people was never the weather, hills, or distance, it has always been the luxury car and/or SUV #drivers with tinted windows who don't stop for crosswalks, or otherwise brandish their vehicle as a weapon to cow people into giving up their rights to public space.
the SUV driver did stop for the kids standing in their way with the neon flags and school staff supervisor, but only after they had started turning and already blocking the bike lane 🙃 #SafeRoutesToSchool
Of course, the #drivers who FTY at #crosswalks and block #BikeLanes also came up the other side of the hill, using the small neighborhood street (which lacks sidewalks on one side, barely complete on the other) as their cut-thru to avoid driving on nice big streets that go around the hill to within a block of the school with nice 💸💸 traffic signals. This is what you get for leaving every street open to cars for cutting through in every direction: every street has too many cars. #InducedDemand
