all it took was somebody being killed
I'm not a biker—still too scared after a bad incident years ago—but the activism led by @sfbike and Critical Mass before it make the city safer, cleaner, and more pleasant for everybody.
@sfbike And I know I talk about this too much, but a trip to Stockholm last summer gave me vision of how much better a city that cuts car traffic and invests and supports biking, pedestrians, and public transit can be. It was fucking magical.
@sfbike Congestion pricing and progressive car taxes with revenue plowed back into public transit.
@sfbike In Stockholm if a public transit delay makes you 20 min or more late to work you can get a refund and/or taxi fee. TWENTY MINUTES! That's how reliable it is. cc @MTA @sfmta_muni @SFBART 
@sfbike @MTA @sfmta_muni @SFBART Ok, and one more thing about Stockholm transit. The subway (which again, meshes beautifully with buses, trams, and ferries) was built on a damn archipelago! In the cold! I mean, this kind of building project is possible, folks.
