I've said on here before, that I love the transformative power bikes have on how people think about interacting with each other

️Having a bike stolen resets a white US person's understanding of what cops do and do not do.
Commuting on a bike resets a white US person's understanding of racist infrastructure.
I love bikes, especially cargo bikes and attachments for kids, because it's only about a 5 year learning journey for white folk from

The places where commuting/day to day riding is improved are the places where those groups have organized.

either that or we need an american version of NotJustBikes with a focus on racism.

There was a recent study here that had some interesting results about behavior at intersections, at congested crossings the "yielded to pedestrians" rates were about the same for "no bike lane" and "protected bike lane" but were lower for "painted bike lane", same when comparing "went through red light at speed" vs "paused to look and then continued through the red".
Unprotected lanes seem like they may be worse than nothing.

People are not good at giving things up!
