Bike Hope Versus Bike Hate 26/30

The USDOT/FHWA removed bike lanes, road diets, and speed management tools that have been shown to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities from their list of Proven Safety Countermeasures on USDOT/FHWA sites https://www.npr.org/2026/07/16/nx-s1-5893672/dot-bike-lanes-speed-cameras-safety-measures. Is the administration anti-safety? Of course, as League of American Bicyclists Deputy Executive Director Caron Whitaker explains, the Proven Safety Countermeasures' removal by USDOT does not change the fact that they make roads safer. 6:50 Bike share is transportation! Recognizing this, bike-sharing Brooklyn Councilmember Lincoln Restler https://council.nyc.gov/district-33/ has a bill to cap Citibike fares at the price of a bus or subway. Lincoln talks about CD 33's other bike/active transportation/safe streets initiatives, too. 17:54 San Francisco architect Ben Frommagen is on a 4,200 + day streak of riding every day for two hours (almost 12 years). Taylor rides along with Ben and talks over coffee about the personal, mental and physical trade-offs of keeping the streak. 36:08
