SAFETY CANNOT BE YOUR TOP PRIORITY IF YOURE WEAKENING TRANSPO SAFETY RULES THREE CHILDREN PER DAY DIE IN THE USE BECAUSE OF CARS I HATE THIS

"ill run over on my scooter and go yell at them" okay, i can get on board with e-scooters for this, and no other, use: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it's give to the max day, and i know a place that will MAXIMALLY utilize your donations for programs and policies that make minnesota a safer place to bike, walk, and roll! consider donating to @bikemn.bsky.social as you round out your GTTM donations. www.givemn.org/organization...

better biking = better city. i even like *most* of this new infrastructure!

if you want some immediate hot takes post minneapolis election, check out Mill City Hall's latest ep!

jesse and i are selling our lovely home in corcoran. weve loved living there and are only leaving because i need one-floor living. jesse has put a lot of love and care into maintaining this home, share with your friends looking for south minneapolis digs!

i have no influence or presence in the UK but shame on @cyclinguk.bsky.social for excluding trans women from the 100 women in cycling. thanks for setting back our sport, our lifestyle, our transportation, our advocacy back a billion years. barf. road.cc/content/news...

well LOOK at what WORKS. speeding down 30% where cameras are?! that is almost the same percentage as car crash fatalities CAUSED by speed. bad driving is a moral failing. speeding is so dangerous and we do it so flippantly. www.startribune.com/speeding-dow...

I am SO excited about this! The @mplscargobikelibrary.com pilot program has been SO successful. In 6 months we: -trained 80 members, who collectively rode over 4,000 miles -doubled our locations (1 to 2) -quadrupled our fleet (3 to 12 bikes) -brought on several volunteers -got a grant for 2026!

Thanks to a generous grant from the @mplsfoundation.bsky.social we're excited to announce that we will be DOUBLING the number of @mplscargobikelibrary.com locations in 2026! www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/clim...

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

i am at the TDZ conference attending a talk about CAVs (connected and automated vehicles). this quote just stuck with me: "how can we make things safer by removing the driver?" driver behavior is so problematic we are now talking getting rid of drivers all together. i have so many feelings.

i grew up on food stamps (SNAP) when it looked like monopoly money, when you couldnt buy imported foods with it, and when my single mom was making minimum wage in the 90s. because of it, we never went hungry.

psa from your local bike gremlin: please STOP using full strobe front lights on your bike. front light is for YOU. angle it DOWN so you can see where you are GOING. ive gone full KATHY CARTOON mode over this.

It would be ironic if the war on cars was won because of robotaxis/self driving cars actually yielding to people

If you don’t frequently see families with kids traveling to destinations by bike, your bike network isn’t safe enough (&/or your zoning forces sprawl & car dependency).

If you live/work/play/travel near 35th/36th St and want to make sure the upcoming reconstruction meets community needs, please join my friend @chrisvaughan.bsky.social on Monday! RSVP via the link in his post and please reshare to help spread the word.

come check us out at open streets!!!!!

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

feel like taking your biking and education skills to the next level? wanna dive deeper into bike (imma sneak some ped stuff in too) practices, law, and learning? im leading my first LCI seminar at @bikemn.bsky.social in October and i'd love for you to join! www.eventbrite.com/e/lci-semina...

The federal government under Trump is the exact terrorist state that conservatives always say they fear. But they love it. They always have. They have just always feared that their opponents would do to them what they want to do to the groups they hate.

The Bryant Ave transformation has been revolutionary! If we can build bike infrastructure like this all over Minneapolis, tens of thousands more people will feel comfortable biking around our city.

Real talk: We now have more bikes than we do storage, money for repairs or volunteers to manage check in/out. What a good problem to have! But if you want to see us use our full fleet (& expand it) consider making a donation or becoming a volunteer. mplscargobikelibrary.com/donate/ 🚲 ❤️

have you signed up for the twin cities bike tour yet????? the twin cities most fun and sweet bike ride!

“The school drop-off ritual is a powerful curriculum, teaching kids that they are packages to be delivered and picked up, and that they require constant adult supervision” 😩😩😩

Our Summer/Fall edition of Shift is landing in mailboxes! Learn about our nation leading educational program: Walk Bike Fun! Hear about our legislative wins at the Capitol. And catch a sneak peak of the Second Annual Twin Cities Bike Tour! Link to the digital edition below ⤵️

NEW EPISODE: we've seen Mayor Frey go from "end homelessness" to crushing encampments and endorsing a position expanding incarceration for folks experiencing serious mental illness. It's 2025 and a Trump executive order takes the same position. How did we get here? millcityhall.com/episodes/202...

“The suspect said ‘he was distracted by a text message on his cellphone,’ according to the affidavit. ‘He stated that he opened his texting application, and when he looked to read the message, he heard a bump.’” www.startribune.com/state-patrol...

thank you to everyone who came to see Someone Always Pays at the MN Fringe this summer. you made it possible for us to pass along all the ticket sale proceeds to Tubman - an organization helping people heal from relationship violence. i am grateful <3

come work with me!!!!!!!!!

come see the show the pioneer press said "could be worse" lololol tomorrow and sunday, i hope you can make it!

Saw @amoridesabike.bsky.social ’s darkly funny and strikingly honest show Someone Always Pays yesterday, definitely recommend catching it on Friday or Sunday minnesotafringe.org/shows/2025/s...

Studies show long term healthy behaviors are established early. That's why our youth education is focused on k-8. That's why you should sign your whole family up for the Tour. That's why it's so great that 100% of proceeds go to supporting statewide bike education and advocacy! ✨ bikemn.org/tcbt ✨

I wish @kill.cars was on here

Thanks to Ziggy at the MN Daily for this article featuring an interview with your favorite mpls gremlin (me).
