The event was organized by Sofia Municipality and Sofia - European capital of sport. The route was 18km long and I saw so many people with kids having a blast!

I don’t have any of these types of bike lanes in the city that I live in, but they look nice. The bike lanes we have are just painted lines, which can still get very dicey when drivers forget that their car shouldn’t pass the white lines.
These types of bike lanes would be amazing to have and would make it so much safer to ride places, but how does a city implement such a thing while also having on street parking?
Most bike lanes we have are on two way streets, and on streets that cross many people’s driveways. It’s very common for people to park their cars on the road, so I find it difficult to imagine a use case for curb protected bike lanes.
Do you have these in your city? Does your city still have on street parking? Is it possible to have both in residential areas?
As per usual, Chicago cops are above the law.
Just came to know about this sub from a sticker seen today.
Seen in Duisburg, Germany :)
My husband and I have the great fortune of having a commute that is 99% bike trail. His work is on the bike trail and mine is just a block from the trail past his office so we can commute together! 10 miles one way and it’s absolutely lovely. Waiting for my backpack to arrive so I can commute with my dog too if he gets too tired I’ll have a bag to put him I.
A couple weeks ago someone posted their Bullitt X doing Bullitt X things and there was discussion of how their costs approach that of a used older truck.
My other ride is a 20 year old paid off Volvo sedan. Hard to bring a new grill or freezer or anything else home from Lowe’s with it, instead of replacing my car with a truck or SUV I built out a Bullitt X frameset. Definitely close to a used truck but so much more fun to ride and use for curbside Lowe’s pickup orders 🤣
Here’s my dual Grin FH/RH212 hub motor picking up 6 bags of wet mulch, conduit, cpvc, and a couple bags of electric and plumbing odds and ends (stashed in the trailer) this morning.
