What would it take for cities to retrofit or supplement their #bike counters with #eBike detectors? The growth of #eBikes for #transportation trips should not be underestimated. Maybe an EMF or heat signature? How do the standard ones distinguish multiple bikes at once? #pdxBikes#bikeTooter
@Drew#transportation#planners are still thinking things like "a bike heading uphill is slow", not considering space to pass, or how their designs create conflict or lead people on #eBikes to choose the lanes which #trafficEngineers imagined were now reserved just for cars. The general lack of awareness of how their designs function in reality is already bad enough, now they don't even understand what traffic they should design for.
We published this in the Pushpins blog more than a year ago, but what urban planner and cyclist Keisha Mayuga said will always ring true: “We have to understand that the road is built for people to move, so we have to respect one another no matter what transport mode we choose.”

re: why #Portland can't have nice things: The trick is to make each "ride your bike in relatively car-free safety" event an expensive optional line-item requiring lots of money for "traffic control", but frame as unavoidable the $2M+/day we spend letting cars have free reign of the entire system for the other 362 days.
Don't miss: helmets and armbands from PBOT, but still not a connected bike network to ride home on #pdxBikes 😞 "Southwest Neighborhood Bike Fair is a free, family-friendly event that includes biking lessons for children, learn-to-ride coaching for adults, quick-fix bike repair, and e-bike demos. Hosted in partnership with the Mittleman Jewish Community Center and Community Cycling Center.
Sunday, July 23 from 9:00 am to noon at MJCC https://bit.ly/swbikefair ."
Yes, #eBike demos will get people out of cars. But when you're the authority having jurisdiction over the streets, you could nudge a little harder. Maybe try not squandering the entire #transportation budget and wasting everyone's time with your obsession over shuffling more cars to the next red light. 🤷
I’ve been having trouble uploading today so this is more of a test post than anything… anyway enjoy these SantaFe war bonnets!
