Mastodawn

There will never be a bell loud enough, a helmet strong enough or clothing bright enough to make up for poor infrastructure.

@tomflood we have designed cities for the worst possible outcomes: gridlock, low livability, high risk to the most vulnerable

@tomflood good to see you here Tom. Kinda like wandering round a shopping mall and then bumping into someone you know.

@Jamescun2000 exactly that!!

@tomflood this makes me so sad to see.

@tomflood so very true

@tomflood I hear ya dude, even when I have the kids in the cargo bike I'm terrified of trucks.

Unfortunately there's builders all over the kids' school right now, so I have to dodge trucks on the school run

@tomflood there are better solutions

@tomflood That is bad, but you do highlight one good bit of infrastructure: Mastodon.

On the birdsite, this would have had dozens of people attacking you for posting a photo of a child on a bike.
