Those bollards need to be solid.

Very much deliberate action, probably votes Republican.
23rd Street, Santa Monica. August 9, 2026, a driver in a green truck runs over bollards in the protected bike lane. On August 19, Councilmember Dan Hall reports that the Santa Monica Police Department “has identified the vehicle and owner. They have had the vehicle towed for expired registration and are following up with the owner on the vandalism of public property.” @electdanhal Santa Monica has built 119 of the 187 miles of bikeway in its Bike Action Plan. Roughly five of those miles are protected. The half-mile on 23rd Street is protected by plastic barriers called “armadillos” while other areas, such as 17th Street are protected by concrete curbs.
Lol, 119 miles just a colored line, 5 miles this useless stuff? So none are actually protected
You got all of that wrong somehow, while extracting numbers from that one paragraph.
- 119 miles in total.
- 5 of them protected, so 114 colored lines.
- Of the protected ones this half-mile with these plastic bollards, 17th street with concrete curbs. Share of bollards to curbs not explicitly disclosed.
I live near enough to know the layout and while it’s mostly just colored line, the streets are still usually bike friendly, assuming you don’t see this nonsense.
What SM did was actually reduce parking to the point that it forced biking or bussing (and made permits for remaining spots, lol). Driving remains is almost all single lane torture with a 25 mph limit, single because when I was a kid it was two lanes and they decided they wanted a dedicated bike lane (specifically thinking Broadway but probably others).
SM is a small place, too. A ton of those miles are in residential areas with little room for expansion.
How I wish just one of those had concrete in it.
Omg this would be such a good method to save money, just make some of them concrete and you never know which one
Ya I watched right to the end of the video hoping one of those was going to be the money shot.
We found him. The man with the smallest dick.
And the limpest.
Send that to the local authorities?
He must hate people with fit legs?
Jealousy?
You mean people with non-micropenises. Only jealous or fearful people carry that much hate around.
Excuse me, as someone with a small package I would never do this.
They’ve got “pathetic whiny bitch energy” though. Probably complains about woke DEI antifa bike lanes to other dudes who take low angle photos in their trucks with oakleys on.
Dodge ram driver doing dodge ram driver shit.
And this is what we call vandalism and terrorism.
Driving with such entitlement
May they kiss a concrete pillar on the way home.
