The concept of "human scale" is most known in urban design and architecture, but it provides a good framework to think about a lot of different aspects of our lives.
This community can be the place in this hyper-connected world to display and cherish the things that are not.

Not a fan of those little white reflector toothpicks they stick on the road. Put up a real barrier, or at least a cement curb.
I think they can have their place, and that place is quick and cheap installation to test out the effects of installing bicycle infrastructure.
Long-term, they should naturally be replaced with alternatives that properly protect their users from the threat that motorists pose.
They're not there temporarily because they're cheap; they're there permanently because car-brained traffic engineers are still addicted to breakaway design.
