    People like riding bikes. They don’t like being vulnerable. That’s why people don’t ride bikes. Remove whatever is making people feel vulnerable & more people will ride bikes.

    A parent at my school made this #BikeBus video. So cool to see these different angles of the ride.

    Does anyone know at what speed a driver would have to be going on a neighborhood street that hitting these would kill them??

    At this point I have nothing to say. The #BikeBus is it!! 150 kids which is 27% of students at Alameda Elementary participated today. I am speechless.

    I am sorry, but if you are driving so fast down a neighborhood street that hitting a cement barrel kills you.

    It's not safe design. Vehicles crash into central islands of roundabouts, they crash into neighborhood traffic circles, so a vehicle could easily crash into the pipes and if/when they do - the occupants will likely be seriously hurt or could die. There are safer designs w/o DFOs.

    Yes I don’t disagree that cars are comfortable but what if you didn’t have to wait at all?? Wouldn’t that be cool? You could do something else besides waiting.

    The only danger to the infant is the people driving. One day people will put this together.

    Who TF does this with an infant? This is on a very busy main thoroughfare in an area where there are so many accidents that they keep adding light-up crosswalks. I looked into the stroller to see if there were groceries but nope, it was a human baby.
