Several bills that can affect active transportation are still alive in the 2025 WA legislative session. How to follow them https://bikestylelife.com/2025/01/12/actions-you-can-take-for-active-transportation-following-a-bill/ and a list https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WADOT/bulletins/3d6db0f.

@philip observes that Something Good is happening to Melbourne's cycling levels. We are on track to see the highest number of cyclists since at least the lockdowns... The number of people riding on St Kilda Road has more than doubled. It goes to show how effective just one relatively small piece of infrastructure can be.

Oh, this is thought-provoking. "What if we replaced GDP with statistics about girls on bikes?" https://www.thenational.scot/politics/24132973.replaced-gdp-statistics-girls-bikes/?ref=li
Amanda Burgauer: "There's a lot of data in that one question about safety, equality of girls and boys, and physical activity. And so this is not what you get when you measure GDP. You wouldn't be looking at those qualities at all.... GDP would simply ask: How much did her bike cost."

Took a trip down memory lane to revisit posts I wrote in January stretching back to 2009. It's quite a mix, as my hashtag list suggests.

I am starting up a data team with the @bostoncyclistsunion to expand upon my work with @BostonBikeData, let me know if you'd like to get involved
or generally what types of questions/projects you think such a team should/could work on
An awesome project exploring #BlueBikes data just got an update
The author has a thread on Twitter about what you can see from it

With the help of @crschmidt and #BikeNite, I have re-added counters from MassDOT's Non-Motorized Database System (NMDS).
