Did you miss April 6 webinar from #California #Bicycle Coalition with April Webster and Wesley Bexton of #Caltrans, "When #Streets Fail: Designing #Bike #Infrastructure for #Heat, #Flooding, and Usability”?

We found it interesting and very important. "A #BikeLane that floods every winter isn't infrastructure. A #sidewalk that bakes at 110 degrees by noon isn't usable, and a #street that only works for part of the day isn't really working.” The info on #trees alone will interest many of you.

Later this week, #CalBike will post webinar recording, with closed captioning. Check for it at https://www.calbike.org/events/webinar-series/ or on CalBike’s Youtube channel.

If you’re able, we urge you to register for 2026 biennial California Bicycle Summit, April 23-24 in Sacramento: https://bikemonterey.org/april-23-24-2026-california-bicycle-summit.html

When Paint Isn’t Protection
"The incident also highlights a core issue in #transportation planning: the limits of painted #bikelanes.
The #cyclists involved were riding in a designated #bikelane – exactly where they are supposed to be. But as the video makes clear, a painted line offers little defense against a driver willing to ignore it.
Advocates have long argued that preventing this kind of incident requires more than paint” https://cal.streetsblog.org/2026/03/31/viral-newport-beach-road-rage-incident-leads-to-arrest-highlights-limits-of-painted-bike-lanes

Winnipeg city council moves ahead with permanent Wellington Crescent bike lane
Winnipeg city council has voted to scrap a plan to install a temporary bike lane on Wellington Crescent and instead begin work to design permanent infrastructure. It also approved a request to the Manitoba government to change legislation allowing council to set its own default speed limit.

Can you spot the “bike lane" ?

This is emblematic of why I don't live in the US anymore.

The trailer is less than one meter wide. This width is allowed on #bike lanes all across Europe. How is the two-way "#bikelane" on this image legal!? #Cyclists are second class humans in #Zwentendorf #Austria. #eurovelo #unconstitutional #discrimination #bicycle #nomad
Seattle might remove a bike lane — and it's argued to be a good thing?! Surprising take: watch this clear, thoughtful deep-dive on trade-offs — parking, safety, access, and neighborhood needs. Great food for debate for cyclists and planners. #Seattle #BikeLane #Cycling #UrbanPlanning #Transportation #Parking #English

Seattle may remove a bike lane, and that's a good thing?!?

Now this is how you do a protected bike lane/sidewalk combination. No rubber bumpers or plastic posts for "protection" like we usually see in the US. Here we have nice ground pavers for both bikes and pedestrians, a decorative railing separating the bike lane from cars, and a beautiful landscaped divider between the bike lane and sidewalk featuring trees and bushes contained within a cut-stone base.
