I might leave the strap-on on. A Mercedes driver hesitated and aborted their right hook on me. I saw fear and confusion in their eyes as I maintained my right of way, my jousting prowess cleaved through what to them, was their god given right to bully.

The bikes, urbanism, and infrastructure design aren't going away, but the narrow focus has to broaden for my own sanity. I know this is a big account and some folks might leave because of the shift. That's completely fine. Thanks to everyone who sticks around.

Things are a mess right now, seemingly everywhere all at once. We're mostly on here for distraction. I'd rather lean into that. Instead of forcing myself to stay strictly on-topic, this space is going to be more me, Brandon, and a bit less just "Fietser."

I’m not closing up shop. I still enjoy posting media and chatting with people, but trying to be a dedicated advocacy entity is exhausting, and I honestly don't think people value that rigid focus anymore. Honestly, I don't like it in other accounts anymore.

I started this "American Fietser" platform back in 2017 when I accidentally became a transportation urbanist because of the Netherlands 🇳🇱. It grew, it’s been fun, but the social landscape has changed and I need a shift as well.
