Even more transportation-related reading:

  • “You won’t believe what the passenger did next”: A trip aboard your local bus can provide some eye-opening stories, and now a new Minnesota website is collecting them — check out bustales.com.
  • Michigan’s secret speed limits: Alert reader Sean sent along this link to a piece in the Detroit Free Press. Seems that Michigan has officially raised the speed limit on many of its freeways — but it hasn’t gotten around to changing most of the signs.
  • Billboards unplugged: Minnetonka has won the right to deny electricity to a couple of shiny new digital billboards along its freeways; Strib story is here.
  • Online outlets for your road rage: On his Websearch blog, Roadguy’s colleague Randy Salas offers this list of places to vent your driverly frustrations.
  • Flat tires and gender roles: In this essay for the Strib’s South section, Eagan resident Barbara Miller alerts her granddaughters to a skill they ought to learn: changing a tire.
  • A bike plan for Northeast: Roadguy doesn’t usually offer links in foreign languages, but legalese is still technically English, so, via Buzz.mn, here’s a PDF about a plan for bike paths to connect Northeast Minneapolis and Roseville. If you can’t make it through the words, at least there’s a map showing the diagonal corridor under consideration.
