3. Subclade K, the new #H3N2 variant, is really managing to infect a lot of people. This year's epicurve, in red, has risen like a rocket. The other seasons it's compared to in this graph were all big seasons. This one has joined that gang.

Never thought about this before! Can we get more public visibility of the costs of road maintenance and *also* how much we are spending every time a car crashes into infrastructure that must be repaired and replaced?

Celebrate World Car Free Day by putting that trunk load in bike mode. To help everyone recognize this day and imagine a less car-dependent world, we’re offering 50% off all rides for one day! Use promo: CarFreeDay25 in the CargoB app promo section, or find the promo in “available promos”.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together!

Indy Bike bus, let’s go!! (PS, I did bike past my kids school towing their bikes to get on this bus, but sometimes going a little out of your way to go together is WORTH it)

Two years ago today - seriously missing those squishy baby cheeks.

The American Planning Association's Planning Magazine has a story featuring the #BikeBus movement! www.planning.org/planning/202... Curious about bike buses? Check out our foundational body of research on this relatively new form of Active Transportation to School: sites.google.com/pdx.edu/bike...

The stop-and-chats are an undersung benefit

I stuck a mic on the leader of my local bike bus and this is what I heard bikeportland.org/2025/09/05/g...

Blue skies and kick bikes.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

We challenge @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social to condemn #PavementParking. The poll quoted in this Oxford Mail article shows that a ban would be a vote-winner! www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/news/2544306...

Among other things, there has been a total collapse of any pretense that government agencies aren't overtly partisan tools distinguishable from campaign accounts.

So true in Indy!

A string of US armory break-ins, kept quiet by authorities for months, points to a growing security crisis—and signs of an inside job. www.wired.com/story/myster...

In example after example, @annehidalgo.bsky.social has definitively demonstrated that it's possible to equitably redistribute urban public space. It's remarkable how few mayors want to leave a similarly positive legacy for their cities.

This is a historic moment for Paris. Amid an intense heatwave, Mayor Anne Hidalgo once again demonstrates her visionary leadership: swimming in the Seine is now a reality. Bravo to her🙏🏻🫶🏻💫 www.lemonde.fr/en/france/ar...

Fun fact I learned last week: there's a tipping point to this! Eventually, all the wealth we "build" by destroying communities for highways and slaughtering people in car crashes is outweighed by all the wealth we lose by forcing everyone to own cars and denying them opportunities if they don't.

Instead of each neighbor having a co-op, what if we . . .

Is there a chicken Bluesky? I need to see some built-of-odd-scrap coops

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Hello; back from a longer vacation + recharge, and wanted to uplift this story I did before I left about why now is the time to rethink the way we fund transportation federally, and finally put regions in the driver's seat where they belong, rather than filtering most money through highway agencies.

Small towns are growing dependent on ICE and immigrant detentions in shoddy private prisons. Fascinating and horrifying journalism: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

My contribution to this week's free-fare discourse: Studies consistently show that eliminating transit fares does not reduce urban driving or pollution. On the other hand, providing faster and more frequent/abundant service can absolutely achieve those goals.

Did anyone misplace a red truck?

Camping with these two cuties!

Brightest spark in my life.

Was planning to meet a friend for a walk after dropping the first graders at school but my two year old woke up with a fever. Not to worry! I packed the stroller and we walked the cultural trail in the cool of the morning with a little one along.

Tired of sky-high infrastructure costs? Shrink the asphalt, add greenery, and give people more ways to move. It’s cheaper, safer, and your city looks like it cares about people instead of just cars.

I actually would not recommend Indianapolis Bike Party for the average kid, but if your child is already a bike commuter and knows what it means to ride both predictably and responsively, it can be a fun experience to ride with a big group, at least before people get too inebriated. 🧵

I was today years old when @williamhazen.bsky.social taught me there’s a better map app! Transit has a friendly user interface and lots of inclusive options! You can specify your biking and walking speeds so e-bike users can see if bus or pedelec is faster. And they know where new infrastructure is!

Still grinning this morning.

Find mom friends who will let you pop their three-year-old into your cargo bike and roll with your first graders.
