Did you know BikeLoud owns THREE bike lane sweepers? Did you know you can borrow a sweeper from us after learning to use it? It's 🍁🍂 season. Wet leaves in bike lanes cause bikes to skid out. Our volunteers step in & help out! Learn more on Slack (+please support BikeLoud). bikeloudpdx.org/action2/

A big 📣 shout out 📣 to @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social volunteers that have been running THREE bike lane sweepers! The bike commute had been difficult with the atmospheric river combined with the fallen leaves. Yesterday's bike ride was much safer! Thank you volunteers! 💙🧡🚲🧹

I hear all the time that the @parkingreform.org weekly newsletter is one that folks really look forward to getting! If you're not on our list yet, why not? mailchi.mp/parkingrefor...

If more of us choose cycle or ride the bus, was there even a car to begin with? From @urbancyclinginstitute.org

Everyone cares about transportation. This makes studying it really fun, but also means everyone (including experts) is in danger of confusing their opinions for facts. You would not believe how many comments in an academic talk about walking and cycling have to do with regulating e-bikes.

Reduce car trips. Reduce meat consumption. #HumanCausedGlobalHeating

Increased ICE activity in North Portland today has led Portland Public Schools to lock exterior doors at César Chávez School and George Middle School, along with other protective measures. Other North Portland schools are monitoring the situation closely.

We need to stop buying so much stuff! It requires at least 6 trucks to get that Amazon single-use plastic widget to your house then off to the landfill. Plus a ship! 🛳🚚🚐🗑🚛

I donate to the Well Done Foundation. They plug orphan oil and gas wells that the fossil fuel industry leaves behind after extracting resources for cars. This recent project in PA was spewing methane, equivalent to emissions from 1,100 cars! Right in someone's yard! ⛽️🌎🔥 welldonefoundation.org

Triple barf: no mention of reducing car trips, reducing meat consumption, or buying less stuff. 🤮🤮🤮 youtu.be/F6R_WTDdx7I?...

Many thanks to @enobacon.urbanists.social.ap.brid.gy and other volunteers for repeatedly using the @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social bike lane sweeper to clear the car sewer... er, painted bike lanes!

So much fun with @bonbpdx.bsky.social On my bike commute through war ravaged Portland, Oregon. I totally forgot that it was today! #BreakfastOnTheBridges #Bikes #BikeFun #Pigeon #Pie #Stitch

"Environmental groups...continued to express misgivings about the city’s increased reliance on biofuels...they would prefer the city instead focus on boosting public transportation and prioritizing electrification via more charging infrastructure and grants for electric bikes and cars." #Bikes

Good morning from war ravaged Portland, Oregon! The car-free Tilikum Crossing bridge is part of my morning bicycle commute. #CarsRuinCities

Drivers will never stop being takers unless we make them pay what car infrastructure actually costs.

Reduce car trips. Reduce meat consumption. Policy change is taking too long. YOU could be the change TODAY! 🚲🚌👩‍🦽🛹🛼🚈🛴✅️ 🚗🚙🛻❌️

"That framework sends “the counterproductive message that large companies are uniquely responsible for climate change no matter how efficiently they satisfy societal demand for energy, goods, and services”, the lawsuit says." Stop giving your money to oil companies! 💸🌎🔥

Cars just don't fit! What a waste of space.

Support your local food pantry!

Me wondering if I can make it to the thrift store between showers. 🌧👀 I dont *like* walking/rolling in the rain, but I'll do it because cars are destroying our livable planet. 🌎🔥🌡

Car driver hits a curb. Neighbors: these curbs are dangerous! Car driver hits a kid. Neighbors: these kids are dangerous! Pssst! 🗣👂🏼it's the cars. 🙉🚗🧠

Part 2! Splendid Cycles let us borrow a Tern cargo bike to get home while our Bullitt-X is being serviced. They are a great bike shop! The kiddo prefers the fully enclosed box of the bakfiets in the rain. 😆 Her feet were soaked. 💦🧦 This bike has a much smaller footprint, great for apartment life! 💯

Well, sometimes the e-cargo bike doesn't want to turn on. Luckily, it's still rideable and doesn't leave us completely stranded like a car would. The difficult part: it's incredibly heavy with a dead motor and two batteries on board. Also, with electronic shifting, I'm stuck in 4th gear. We made it!

I just walked 1 mile to my local movie theater to watch The Blob (1958). The last line was something like: "As long as the Arctic stays frozen, we should be safe." 🫠🧊🔴 I love my 15 minute city. It isn't a conspiracy. It's just convenient. #StopDriving #GlobalHeating #FossilFuel #15MinuteCity

Slowly migrating from Spotify. Podcasts were a huge hangup. I just found @antennapod.org and all my favorites are there! @thewaroncars.bsky.social @drilledmedia.bsky.social @bikeportland.org @climatetown.bsky.social

On my way home a kid in a car yelled “Bike Bus!” to me. I guess they saw my flag? I don’t know if they go to our school or not, but of the things that someone might yell at you from a car, this is one of the best.

Got a minute? Watch and listen ... and consider a direct reeskee. 💙 My colleague documented our bike buses yesterday and pulled together this beautiful compilation. Let's take back the internet with goodness

Knitters against Fascism meets every Thursday morning from 9:30 to 1pm outside the Portland ICE Detention Facility. Today we numbered about a dozen. If you feel called to peacefully protest, knitter or not, please join us. All are welcome!

Whoa! It's a modern bus with a graphic wrap to make it look like a retro bus! Complete with orange wheels and throwback ads! @trimet.org Let's go!

Portland also knows what's up! bikeportland.org/2018/05/29/i...

Are we great again yet? 🙃🇺🇸

So what’s the alternative? If you have to fly, own the emissions. If that makes you uncomfortable… maybe that says something about whether the flight’s worth it.

Bike Bus FTW!

It's so easy, even a car-free bike Dad can do it! 😆 #CommunityService #AtmosphericRiver #DrainGang

Car oriented businesses are accelerating climate chaos.

This is the reality We are going backwards - at least to the Pliocene - and, without an imminent colossal change in our behaviour, we will rewind the clock back 50 million years to the Eocene hothouse

Just to reiterate: you are more likely to die in a car crash in the Portland metro area than you are to have died in any TriMet-related way--on a bus or train, at a stop, or even being hit by a bus or train--in any given year dating back to when the MAX was built.

"It’s a two-ton weapon. We should look at this the same way we look at firearms. Let’s get as many of them off the street as possible.”

Bummed to read this. Our Bike Bus starts in front of low-income housing and travels to our Title 1 school. I've given away rain gear, gloves, spoke cards, and reflectors. I have a bike raffle in the works. (3 new bikes!) I am not wealthy working for a non-profit. But, I make it work with donations.

i'm at like 12 days without going in my car and it's AMAZING, i love my ebike. i think it ends tomorrow with a long day of meetings all over the place but maybe i can get another 12 days going after that if i plan carefully

I polled 100+ attendees of my talk about which modes of transportation they use most and which they would *like* to use most. The results are pretty striking: most people travel most often by car, but their preferences are nearly the opposite. 87 use cars most, but only 20 *want* to! #CIRPA2025
