Tired: flat streets Wired: Speed humps, tables, etc Inspired: Speed *dips*, because modern clearance and suspension makes taking speed bumps at speed no big deal, but dips still make drivers worry they'll damage their car, and that has the highest level of encouraging compliance

Somebody is one pipe shy of a hookah

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

Might rewatch Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) tonight. No particular reason.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Don't forget to vote, Jackson County 🗳️

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

For years this section of cycle track sat unfinished (paint-only) because the rich homeowners there opposed the ugly plastic flexposts used elsewhere. OK, message received 😂

maybe it can only good happen today

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

The world is on fire and I get to spend time tomorrow filing a police report against the guy that threatened to "shoot [me] off [my] fucking bicycle" BUT hey check out these brand new tires!

OPINION | Make SUVs safer than bicycles, you can fuck ALL the way off until that happens

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Common pattern when interpreting public input: In a neighborhood of 10K+ people. 3 people complain about a bike lane = Most residents are against the bike lane 50 people say they want the bike lane = Cyclists are loud, they don't represent everyone 😐

📢 Public Meeting: Kansas City leaders need to hear from cyclists! Monday, July 7 come-and-go 5:30-7pm at Drexel Hall 3301 Baltimore Ave. Let the city know you support cyclist & pedestrian safety, stick around to roll with us (~6:30pm) on a tour of existing bike lanes. www.strava.com/routes/33770...

America: the final birthday 🧨

I’ve been thinking about how drivers often express frustration at “that car in my way,” not “the person in that car.” But when it’s someone on a bike, there’s no metal shell to dehumanize it’s just us, in plain sight. Could that be why cyclists become the outlet for the built-up tension of traffic?

This Captain Planet reboot goes hard

I took my oversized bike to Unbound Gravel, remained upright through 108 miles, and had a blast. It was HOT but an amazing experience

It's a calm, quiet evening in midtown KC. From my front porch I'm hearing--for the first time--the gentle "ding ding" of the new streetcar running two blocks away 🤗

*hometown referenced*

When you think you're cutting it close for your flight but wx delays make it so you're actually 4 hours early 🫠

Flying home from civilization

"Those things do not correlate" said the cashier to the dude who brought a sexy mother's day card to checkout and asked for a Plan B from behind the counter

Bike boulevard! Put the cars in the gutter where they belong. #TeamCenterRunning

They'll never admit it, but I bet the Conclave's final vote wasn't even close. Probably 25 or 6 to 4

KC has a bus funding crisis, but taking money from other transportation programs and safe routes to bus stops is not the way to fix it. bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/05...

Save 25% on municipal repaving projects with one weird trick (drivers hate it)

I volunteered to talk bicycles & simple machines with some 5th graders today and their thank-you card features "Cool S" graffiti 🥹 #theKidsAreAlright

In case you didn't hate it enough already: "Officials rename South Loop park project after Roy Blunt"

Why isn't he dead?

This is the stupid shit that kills someone in the dark

I've never been #Dannering so hard

I'm gonna need some of these stickers

Hello from the Gold line

How many dogs did we not get to pet because our parents drove us everywhere? 🐕❤️🚲

Sidewalks are car infrastructure. Every street without a sidewalk should be closed to drivers until they're ready to break out the shovels and make it right.

We’re not going away. Every year there will be more of us. If that bothers you, vote for quality separated bike infrastructure and we will happily get off the road.

Paint is not protection. The design of this whole intersection is hot garbage.

Your life is worth so much more inside an airplane than it is inside of a car, on a bike, or while walking. So much more. People in positions of authority actually care if you are killed in a plane crash.

3 weeks after the snow storm. Pedestrians still can’t safely walk in my neighborhood. Slick as hell.

On this day, 100 yrs ago, cars were given priority over pedestrians in the streets of the US. It began Jan. 24, 1925, when the 1st "jaywalker" was arrested in Los Angeles. Until then, it had been a city of walkers, with an extensive street railway network. Victim shaming started right away... 🚶‍♂️🧵

Foaming it up today 🚂

We made a rolling billboard this morning. Figured if we had to slow down some drivers by sharing their lane, we could at least give them something to read.

Our Taproom Manager, James, is clearing our Biergarten in case anyone wants to take advantage of our cold weather discount ❄️🍺

“Americans did not choose car dependency. We didn’t vote for it, and it was not the winner in a free market competition. The real answer is complex, but a single turning point reveals an essential part of the story.” www.planetizen.com/features/132...

The crews are making great progress! Looking good tonight!

I pedaled out some GPS art today to commemorate riding a bike outside every day of 2024

Happy Holidays to everyone but this asshole
