Why the bicycle repair class that filled up is worth noticing
Field notes on the people, places, and systems that keep things moving.
The background
Parking is a land-use decision. Every space reserved for a car is a space not used for something else.
There is usually a gap between how the bicycle repair class that filled up is described and how it is experienced. The useful reporting lives in that gap.
“A street is an argument made in concrete.”

A dangerous corner is usually a design problem before it is a behaviour problem. People respond to the geometry they are given.
What to watch next is not a forecast but a question: does the change make the ordinary version of Mobility easier to sustain?
What makes the bicycle repair class that filled up worth following is the gap between the promise and the practice. That gap is where the real work happens.
