Monday Roundup:

Another sunny Monday… In February! Can you believe some cherry blossoms are already in bloom? Wild times we are living in.

Below are the most notable stories that came across my inbox this past week…

Foot traffic: Very exciting development in counting pedestrians from MIT shows the value of getting counting right and how science can help make cities better. (Fast Company)

Micromobility report: The State of Massachusetts assembled a special commission to study micromobility and their final report is a very thoughtful and thorough document that I hope some Oregon advocates can copy from. (Massachusetts DOT)

Gas prices: Because of the Trump War Against Iran we could be at the precipice of another gas price shock that sends people into bike shops and bus stops. (Associated Press)

Calling names: Noted bicycling superstar Hans “No Way” Rey has an idea for combatting the proliferation of anti e-bike laws sweeping the country: He think we should label anything that’s not a Class 1 (20 mph max, no throttle) as an “e-moped.” (Bicycle Retailer)

Florida, man: Looks like really good e-bike policy from Florida. Seriously. Instead of the boneheaded idea of regulating bike types, a new bill making its way through their statehouse would legislate behavior. Specifically it would create a 10 mph e-bike speed limit on paths and only when passing others. (Electrek)

Transforming lives: A wonderful profile of a 67-year old woman with osteoporosis from the UK who received an e-bike through a government program and credits the vehicle for changing her life for the better. (Oxford Mail)
