I don’t blame drivers in LA from feeling like they have no choice but to drive. I blame past city councilmembers, Mayors, and city agency leadership for lacking the courage and imagination to build infrastructure that would make drivers think twice and consider alternatives. – at Los Angeles, CA

A Brown Bear and a Grey Wolf were seen over a 10 day period working in tandem as a team hunting together and sharing their spoils. We can learn so much by simply observing (and not murdering) — such magnificent sentient beings. Agree? – at Redondo Beach, CA

Which scooter did you get? Looking for something I can ride ~3miles to @metrolosangeles, carry on, then ride to work about ½ mile.
Which is a problem that can be solved. But the reason I ride a electric scooter is it fits in my condo easier, and I can easily bring it into work.

If your town or city is ever looking for a way to quickly & cheaply become more beautiful, you can hardly go wrong with planting a lot of street trees!

As a former person in an anchor chair, in ‘09 I was making $35k/year. The job before that paid $17.5k so I was deep in debt (+ student loans) & was buying my own gas at Costco & groceries at @WinCoFoods. So let’s stop pouncing on the media! Not good for the democracy.
Off to a strong start at the ⁦@USCPolFuture⁩ conference. "There is a steep disconnect between people who sit in anchor chairs and real people who are out in the world buying their own groceries and gas."
I go through periods where I have to stop riding @metrolosangeles bc I’m late both directions for 1 week+. I want to love Metro but have the privilege to choose my car bc it’s reliable. Please Metro, note that you said basicS… cleanliness matters but so much else does too.
Thank YOU Lambda LGBTQ+ Family for showing up and showing out during Homecoming this past weekend. It was a record-breaking SOLD OUT Tailgate with great music and a fabulous show stopping performance by the student-led USC Drag Show. Trojan Pride was in full force

This is what happens when you design good solutions to real problems… you use history to inform you, you speak to experts and people on the ground, then you iterate.

Someone call @metrolosangeles maybe they can just borrow this ad from Denmark!
Denmark's public transit agency has made the greatest transit advertisement of all time. No notes. (Din Offentlige Transport)

The @NFL partnering with @apple and @amazon plus the @rihanna half time show led us to a discussion on the business of sports and streaming with special guest @eric_detwiler who says tv is in the midst of a huge evolution. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Love to see creative problem solving in motion!
Italian cyclist Michael Guerra uses his knowledge of physics and aerodynamics to adopt a “plank” position and overtake his competitors.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is a staged marketing stunt from 2017, arranged by the Italian fixed-gear bike shop Dafne Fixed. The technique is real (and impressive) but this is not an actual bike race as the tweet might be construed to imply.
