I think sharrows are usually poorly-implemented - say on streets with high speeds or high volumes of cars. But I think they can be not completely worthless depending on the context. For example, Mountain View has design practices that sugge

If that happened, according to the SWITRS data you were most likely within an intersection. So yes, not within a bike lane.

No, but there was not positive publicity for sharrows in Los Angeles. Everyone either hates them, or are unaware of them (I’ve spoken with a few drivers who said they have never noticed them). I think the benefit is likely due to increased

More likely, only a dedicated path, not a lane, will fix that.

I studied the safety impacts of new bike ways in Los Angeles, and found that sharrows reduced collision rates just as well as bike lanes. https://blueskiesabove.us/entry/to-live-and-ride-in-la-do-bi... (I emailed this

I dislike how you can't (or couldn't - I haven't installed iOS 14 yet) arrange home screen icons like you can on Android. On Android, I would put my four most used icons in each corner, and leave the rest of the screen empty.

I’m picturing a bulk Pringles tube at the grocery store, soaring up to the ceiling. Then you place your reusable glass Pringles tube under it, pull a lever, and a fresh stack of Pringles drops into your container. I like it!

I agree with this. And partisanship is largely the outcome of propaganda peddled by the media to sell ads. I know this is a narrow, arrogant viewpoint, but I view all hardcore partisans as victims of propaganda (with the caveat that perhaps
