Warning: incoming rant! Roads are our most visible shared resource. Whether we're in a chauffeur driven Rolls or a 20 year old jalopy. Whether we're ferrying children or hauling goods for a multinational. Whether we're walking, cycling, driving, or using the bus. Whether we're buying a tin of beans from the local shop or getting a letter through our letter box. So every pothole (and there's one every couple of yards in Manchester) isn't just a pothole. It's a symbol of just how little value has been placed on our shared resources. That scar represents all the scars on our public services.

Cyclist safety is a crucial but often overlooked issue, especially in Missouri, where our roads are not designed with cyclists in mind. 🚴♂️ In 2022 alone, over 1,100 pedal cyclists lost their lives in crashes nationwide—an alarming increase that mirrors a growing crisis. With Missouri ranking 45th in bicycle-friendly states, it’s clear we need to make a change. What laws do you know that could help keep cyclists safe? Dive into our latest blog to learn about the rules you should know and how we can create a safer environment for everyone on the road. https://lnkd.in/ggujqxep

Ride Illinois board member, Cynthia Hoyle. FAICP, LCI, was recently interviewed by Illinois Public Media to discuss the need for safe, connected infrastructure for bicyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users. Present-day infrastructure makes driving the only real option for too many Illinois residents. But people, especially younger generations, want options. As a result, forward-thinking leaders are working to make their communities safe for adults and children to bike and walk for everyday trips. Change is hard and will take time, but momentum is bulding! Listen to the 16-minute interview at the link below. Well done, Cynthia! https://lnkd.in/gjAkCT56?

Behind every successful tour lies a meticulously crafted setup, and at the heart of it all are road cases. 🎸 From protecting gear to ensuring seamless logistics, road cases are the unsung heroes of the touring world. Assembling a touring rig involves more than just the instruments and equipment; it's about safeguarding every piece through countless miles and unpredictable conditions. Road cases serve as the guardians of our gear, shielding it from the bumps and jolts of the road while maintaining pristine condition. But they're more than just protective shells; they're the embodiment of efficiency and organization. Customized to fit each component snugly, they streamline load-in and load-out processes, allowing for swift setups and tear-downs in the whirlwind of tour life. Beyond functionality, road cases also represent professionalism and reliability. They're a symbol of dedication to the craft, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every aspect of a tour. So here's to the unsung heroes of the road, the road cases that keep our gear safe and our shows running smoothly. 🚚💼 #TourLife #RoadCases #GearProtection #Efficiency

An "Idaho Stop" — otherwise known as a stop-as-yield law — states that folks riding bicycles can treat a stop sign as a yield sign. Further, some states allow people riding bikes to treat a red traffic light as a stop sign, while some states mandate that drivers give people biking the right of way in intersections. The “Idaho Stop” nickname came from a rolling stop law passed in 1982 in, you guessed it, Idaho. The law allows bicyclists to approach stop signs as yield signs so that the rider does not have to come to a complete stop when the road is free from cross-traffic. Unless there is a backup at an intersection, cyclists rarely come to a complete stop for every stop sign. A large part of that is because a bike relies on momentum to continue forward. Stopping at every intersection cuts that momentum. Oregon is one of eight states in the U.S. that has a rolling stop law, having adopted its law in 2020. However, half of the cyclists and two-thirds percent of non-cyclists in the study knew about the law. https://lnkd.in/eq5bX2YQ
