    Yeah, we definitely need the government to offer grants and tax breaks to companies to build and provide better bicycle-commuting facilities to their workers, including ample indoor bicycle parking and showers

    It’s absurd to me how the US’s “Infrastructure Bill” dealt mostly with cars, and the press coverage of this was horrible. Where was the news coverage pointing-out the lack of investment in train and bicycle infrastructure? Fuck cars.

        I won’t. Where I went to Uni the outdoor bicycle parking was placed right next to the sprinklers, and it would water the bicycles 🤦 That’s not acceptable. We need to treat these machines with the respect they deserve.

          That’s just the university buildings and grounds dept not adjusting the sprinklers properly/using poor sprinkler design. Bikes should ideally go inside, but they’re beautifully simple to maintain machines and can tolerate the outdoors if maintained.
