A Safe New Design To Keep Trucks From Killing Cyclists | FastCompany

Trucks are death traps for cyclists. In London, 50% of cyclist deaths are attributable to the hulking vehicles. Because they sit so high up, have such small side windows, and make wide turns, truck drivers often can’t even see the bicyclists they’re about to crush.

One reasonable solution is to design better bike lanes, but that’s not enough to fix the problem entirely. The London Cycling Campaign (LCC) flips the responsibility to truck drivers with its Safer Urban Lorry design—a truck model that’s safer for surrounding cyclists.

This Isn’t Shopped of the Day: Pope Benedict XVI’s Legacies Remembered in Comic Sans

The Vatican just can’t seem to catch a break these days. Following last week’s departure of Pope Benedict XVI—the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years, the Vatican published a digital photo album dedicated to the now former leader of the Catholic Church using the Comic Sans typeface on every page. The 62-page album can be viewed on the official Vatican website.

I see you there Georgia, finding people in traffic. I feel like this is a pretty fair representation of not just where people interact (or don’t interact), but where they spend their time.

Stats Pr0n of the Day

Ever wonder where all those “missed connections” on Craigslist are happening? Designer Dorothy Gambrell created this infographic for Psychology Today, which shows the most common places where these romantic encounters happen across the United States. Unsurprisingly, it seems as though Californians typically lock eyes in the gym, while New York residents have their love connections on the subway, with quite a few Walmart states in between.
