@Cyclist asks:
Q5. What do you see as the biggest benefits of travelling by bike rather than a car?

"...The federal government is hunting for a justification to eliminate key bike lanes in the nation's capital, sources say — and if the feds are able to push that controversial agenda through, some fear it could set a disturbing new precedent for federal interference into active transportation projects across the nation...."

Alex Pretti was a nurse in Minneapolis who liked to ride his bicycle. He was murdered while standing up to bullies. His friends at the ACF bike shop in Minneapolis want you to not believe the lies being told about him.
@ascentale @bikenite Thanks for sharing my MLK question on #BikeNite! I'm not as active here as in the dead-to-me birdspace so I don't often jump on in real time. Glad to have bike community active here though.

“ #Paris has shown that it is possible to redistribute public space quickly and effectively, preserving the city’s historic charm while creating streets that prioritize people over cars. The result is a city where parents ferry children to school by #cargobike, commuters glide past the Seine on protected #bikelanes, and #cycling is no longer a daring choice—it is a practical, everyday reality … change did not happen by accident. It was driven by political will” https://momentummag.com/what-the-world-can-learn-from-pariss-cycling-revolution/

I wrote this back in 2020 https://bikestylelife.com/2020/01/20/street-of-dreams-can-we-live-the-martin-luther-king-jr-way/.
Q7. If your town has a street named after Dr. King, how well does it reflect the values he stood for? If they don't have one and they're going to propose a renaming, which street would do the most to honor his spirit?

@Pionir asks:
Q5. Does anyone have any recommendations for cool (open source) self hosted bike related software?
I've got Wanderer running already and Immich for ride photos. What else is there? Trip blogging software? Live dot watching for friends and family to track a bikepacking trip? Windows or Linux, server or containers and even LAN only private hosting.

@Pepijn asks:
Q4. A fellow parent at daycare is looking for a three wheeled cargobike to carry their kid & do groceries.
They're looking for a simple non-electrified* tricycle** in Denmark or Germany.
I can't think of anything else than a Christiania. Any other options?
*cost, simplicity and simple. They only do trips of a couple km in town.
**balance issues. Bicycles are not an option.

@kellyromanych asks:
Q2. Is there a hand sign (or other way of signaling) for *slow down* to an oncoming bicyclist?
The context is to warn the rider that they are coming up too quickly on a hazard around a bend in the road.
Thanks, all
Ride safe

Q3. What’s are people’s views on this video?

(It includes an award for worst in show for the new Bosch feature that can disable a bike if it is in a database of stolen bikes, but can also prevent one from independent repair)
