Our governing body for competitive cycling is also pretty useless in terms of development and Lance ruined its brand. But it's mostly cars.

Twitter: It's going to be complete chaos, you're going to be forced to see hate-filled content, people can't see your stuff unless they log in, and you can't edit your stuff without paying.

People: Ok, sounds fine.

Mastodon: None of those things.

People: I'd like to lodge my earnest complaints.

This is the state of bicycle wayfinding in Dallas, TX. I'm trying to figure out places to ride with my 10 yr old besides the same 20 miles of bike trail we've ridden 10s of times. Rants in the alt texts.

Parking lots and industrial alleys behind massive strip malls -- these are the "Bicycle friendly roads" on Google Maps!Here's one of many induced Frogger moments in the Dallas trail system. Bike trail terminates at a 6-lane stroad with 50+mph speeds with no crossing...ANYTHING. My 10yo and I have taken that sidewalk-trail to the NE--it dead ends in a fenced-in parking lot.We've also ridden to this glorious example of urban fabric. And yes, that parking lot is always that % utilized. And again with Google's "This parking lot would be a great place to ride your bicycle!"
