Next free @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk webinar is Feb 12. I highly recommend learning more about their cutting edge, relevant policy & public space recommendations. I welcome a world where micromobility means safe, inclusive access for all! PDF of slides: wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Proud of my #Portland peeps. Appalled at the dark turn it took. Federal forces deployed heavy waves of chemical munitions on this peaceful daytime protest, onto thousands of people including elders and small children. Take courage in community. Together we can create a world that supports life.

Hundreds of bike rides are happening across the America this Saturday, January 31, in honor of Alex Pretti and others murdered & traumatized by ICE, including at least four in the Portland area.

More than 2 minutes of bike bliss in Utrecht. Cargo bikes, rental bikes, business people, people carrying flowers, people doubled up, delivery bikers and a delightful flock of school kids teasing each other @ 1:40. Getting places by bike makes people happy and connected. @bicycledutch.bsky.social

"The most effective way to reduce car use is to remove the necessity of using a car in the first place." Bollards, car control plans, the redistribution of public space, and the 10-minute city of Utrecht NL. @bicycledutch.bsky.social

A little slice of sensible, kind, Dutch cities is the whole reason I post videos here I'm very aware of chaotic public space in most other parts of the world, often car-related. There is absolutely no reason all people cannot have nice streets. We just need to figure out how to move away from cars.

It's a choice. When putting America back together in the coming years, consider making public space for people rather than the cars some of them drive.

Morning rush hour. Safe routes to school. Streets designed for people to fully live their lives. Not a city (or a country) at war with its own people. ❤️ #cargobike #Utrecht

I ❤️ my volunteer work in Utrecht refurbishing used kids bikes. So many bikes! Ik hou van mijn Utrechtse vrijwilligerswerk. Zoveel fietsen! bikeflip.nl

Rotterdam public space: Grassy tracks. Door zone bike lanes. Trees. Sidewalk cafes. Public art. Narrow driving lanes. Strictly enforced paid car parking.

Has anyone heard anything from Republican senators about the crazy letter to Norway's prime minister?

There’s a really nice article about Helen Levitt’s art, by Lauren Graves (www.jstor.org/stable/10.57...), which concludes that the children weren’t just making art but also “a place for themselves within the contested city streets”

🎁 In the days since Ms. Good was killed agents have been caught on camera asking“Have y’all not learned from the past couple days?” “Learned what?”asks a woman“What’s our lesson here?” Is male supremacy our lesson? Hatred? Cowardice? That the 1st Amendment turns out to be as fragile as rice paper?

Such a pretty city without cars. Utrecht.

A rare sunny day in winter. Long midafternoon shadows of bikes, cargobikes & buses. Streets designed for people to fully live their lives. Not a city (or a country) at war with its own people. I ❤️ Utrecht

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

US Foreign Policy, so far in 2026.

Heated Rivalry, besides being a great love story, is a thumb in the eye of all the authoritarians & Proud Boys desperately telling everyone how to be a man & how to be fully human. That's part of its universal appeal. I read the books. Where are watch parties in NL when it starts streaming 23 Jan?

The Dutch will double intercity bike routes in the next 5 years, from 1100 to 2300km. Every city has local routes: Utrecht, for example, has 420km of separated bike lanes & bike streets. 𝘿𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 allow people to safety go by bike throughout NL. More info: www.fietsersbond.nl/nieuws/doorf...

This week in the Netherlands, 100s of buses & trains stopped service, freeway traffic is epic, & more than 2000 flights have been cancelled at Schiphol Airport. It usually doesn't snow much in NL, and if it does, it's a light dusting. But nothing can stop people getting to the gym in the new year.

Sneckdowns*, Utrecht style. *What the heck is a sneckdown? A sneckdown, or snow neckdown, is a temporary lane created by snowfall, where snow has built up in the road but not been flattened by bike traffic, effectively reshaping the curb. A sneckdown shows how much road space a bike (or a car) use.

Bikes might be a little slower in the snow, but biking is always reliable. (And if people who bike have dedicated bike streets and lanes away from cars, biking is much safer than driving.) Cities work best when people can choose what works best for their own travel needs.

Despite two days of snow in Utrecht NL and people are still biking. Paths haven't been cleared over the weekend, but wide lanes, clear signals, and well-controlled car drivers make biking possible.

Call & email the people who represent you. And do what you can to use less fossil fuel.

First snowy day of the year in Utrecht NL. We're all still biking (a little colder, a little slower).

Happy 2026! Wishing you all a year of being on a bike or in a cargo bike with the people you love.

Portland already has a car network. Who’s ready for a complete bike network rapidly deployed throughout PDX in 2026 – including street diverters that keep our kids safe when they walk and bike? These are our shared streets. We can decide to make streets work for all of us! (join us)

1 Jan 2026 The Dutch government already banned personal fireworks in most major cities. Starting in 2026, home fireworks will also be banned across the country -- but they seemed to be exploding everywhere I went for most of last night in a final hurrah.

These are chain covers, kettingcast, for bicycles. Every Dutch bike comes with a chain cover. Today at BikeFlip.nl in Utrecht, the used bike rental service where I volunteer, hundreds of kettingcast were dumped out & sorted into matched pairs. As a novice bike mechanic, kettingcast drive me crazy.

2025 was the mid-point of the Decade of the Cargo Bike That's @tigard-stripes.bsky.social in the photo below My @cargobikefest.bsky.social talk highlights other PDX cargo bike champions such as @contraireclaire.bsky.social @robgalanakis.bsky.social @jonathanmaus.bsky.social @shift2bikes.bsky.social

Why do we bike? Climate, affordability, sociability, peace on earth, fun, comfort & joy🚲 Even e-cars are built with and rely on fossil fuel energy. The people of Venezuela, Nigeria, Libya, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Russia, United States might all be better off if we could just leave it in the ground.
