Do a big Dad Thing with me: we're buying our own bike lane sweeper to clean the paths the city can't (or won't) bikewalkkc.org/sweeper/ I can't wait to pull this thing around the neighborhood!

"Who is Prince Andrew?"

Seven years ago today I tried an ebike on a lunch hour. Yesterday I "raced" 128 miles on dirt. What's next?

I wanted to call out from my porch to a friend pedalling by, but the oncoming driver meant distraction could be deadly. I let him go in silence. Cars really do ruin everything.

NASA #Artemis II flyby coverage schedule; all times in Eastern. You can follow along live on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) or on the NASA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@NASA). It should be amazing to watch!

Good chance the muscle car parked outside my house was stolen and dumped. I could report it, but since it's not the kind of vehicle that should be driven within earshot of society, I'ma let this fucker sit in timeout.

You heard: space toilet broken. I heard: successful test of the Collapsible Contingency Urinal ttu-ir.tdl.org/server/api/c...

at least it's just an amber fault light and not a brown one... yet

I will never ever understand the people who race-walk through the terminal only to freeze like a statue when they touch an escalator. Where did your hustle go, friend? They're speedy stairs, not a teleporter

Any group rides in Chicago this week or is it too cold? #bikechi

wx sirens in midtown now for... what?

Starting the new Star Trek game with my Voyager super-fan kids: "haha fuck yeah! yes!!" Me not getting to play today because they have homework and piano lessons: "well this fucking sucks. what the fuck."

Flexpost cosplaying as bollard. Safety is an illusion.

Fuck you, MODOT.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

Number of taps required to tell your Garmin device... 🛬 to land a plane with no pilot: 0-1. ⏰ to set an alarm on your watch: 37+

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
