I had an encounter like this a few days ago. For the next few minutes I replayed the scene in my mind, imagining ways I could've used my bike lock in self-defense. Anecdotes keep piling up about how people drive so much more aggressively post-covid.

I don't like the fact that there are cameras everywhere. But also, without cameras, the attackers get away with: "Officer, the pedestrian came out of nowhere."

Pretty soon we're going to have a design genre called sprawl-to-trails, similar to rails-to-trails. It'll be one of the popular ways for engineers to repurpose unnecessary infrastructure.

If this Dutch design was installed in a US city, some bike advocates would call it a failure for not going far enough. Sometimes we get in our own way.

It's often safest for a cyclist to go through a red light. Here's an example of safely keeping momentum. Bicycles and motor vehicles should never be treated as equals, so "but red means stop!" isn't a useful reaction.
