Salt Lake City - welcome to The Spin Space! A protected intersection for bikes, scooters, and other forms of micro-mobility!

Sometimes people carelessly ride a scooter on the sidewalk.
More than 100 times a day, people crash cars into American storefronts.
Some of you act like the scooters should be talked about just as often as the cars, as if they're the same type of danger.

Some Israelis have turned their shelters into a music festival. The DJ is wearing an Iranian flag
"This is awesome! This is a great way to ride your bike. It's super fun down here. It's easy, you don't have to worry about cars. It's awesome." #outontheAVE

The AVE in #vabeach marks the better block’s evolution from temporary pop-up to a permanent part of life in the city. The future is fast and nimble, and the #quickbuild methods we used are an agile alternative to the costly public works projects of the past. (🧵1/6)
