Rather than making cars heavier and larger for safety, what if we made them all lighter and smaller — and slowed them all down? We could reduce costs and invest elsewhere (public transit, education, healthcare, etc.) Cars have a place, but by and large we’ve built American society in a way that cars are a *requirement* rather than an *option*. With reliable and efficient public transit, cars can become a choice — rather than the only way of getting around.

First imperial century ride slated for tomorrow! About 105 miles, ~5800ft elevation. Looking forward to it!

“It may seem arcane, but the lack of roundabouts in suburban and rural America is a big cause of deaths. Replacing intersections would save thousands of lives a year. The spread of stroads, four-lane highways that sit next to shopping malls, mixing pedestrians and cars turning out into traffic with heavy vehicles travelling at 50mph, is dangerous too.”
Excerpted from “What to do about America’s Killer Cars” published in The Economist on Sep 5, 2024.

So close to a win for Tadej… I think he got blocked on the climb and then was looking for a wheel to follow. Was hoping to see him do some magic on the final climb and pull a gap but alas, no such luck. Great race!
