The Ins and Outs of Property Damage - I’ve already written about the importance of auto insurance coverage if you’re injured in a crash with a car, but I thought I should get into a bit more detail when it comes to the property side of... tmblr.co/ZZ3IdwcC8ncVuu00
Thanks to @formlabs for inviting me to speak about bike laws/safety, that was fun. Any other cool companies want me to come give a talk for their commuter employees? Hit me up, let’s make this a thing.
Locking up - Photo credit I’m often asked about bike parking—specifically, where it’s allowed and not allowed. There isn’t much specific legislation about locking up bikes, but there are still a couple of areas where it’s definitely NOT a good... tmblr.co/ZZ3IdwZxLNLiWa00

Know Your Bike Laws - I was planning to give a talk at a bike shop, but then the pandemic happened, so we did it online. It was fun. I think we’re gonna do it again in June, so stay tuned. tmblr.co/ZZ3IdwYJM68j0u00
.@Hertz wouldn’t let my fiancé rent the car that she reserved because her credit card number didn’t match the one she booked with (she was a victim of fraud and had to change it). Seems like a very stupid reason. @priceline won’t help either. Honestly, wtf?
Anonymous said: Hi Josh, at many intersections, pedestrian traffic in a given direction is given a walk signal several seconds before vehicle traffic moving in the same direction. Can a biker waiting at a red light go when the same-direction... tmblr.co/ZZ3Idw2lbwbWC

Help some researchers, if you want - A researcher from Harvard asked if I could help spread the word about a study they’re doing on bike share programs, and I said, “sure.” So here’s the info: Harvard School of Public Health is launching a... tmblr.co/ZZ3Idw2jPlVpp
