"Massive banners with Trump’s face are adorning some federal buildings in DC. Democrats are crying foul" It should not just be Democrats, but everyone who pays taxes in this cpuntry.

I agree 💯 with Mark Hamill @markhamillofficial.bsky.social. May the force be with us all in this resistance!

Robyn would have turned 27 today. Instead they are forever 20. We were kindred souls and so the day they died a large part of me was lost as well. More than a recondite feeling of emptiness, in this nothingness lies a broken heart that shall not heal until there is no longer breath within me.

If only this would pass and be signed into law. Unfortunately, the Fedral Government is largely dysfunctional under the Trump administration.

Up, up, up the graphs go...

Bernie & Zohran!

Are there any city planners out there listening?

I agree!

It seems Temu is aware of what Donald Trump is doing to the United States and so they having a clearance sale!

Study shows cyclists are more concerned about the common good than drivers. Shocked? Definitely not. momentummag.com/cyclists-com...

I learned this morning that a bicyclist was killed last night in Waynesboro, Virginia. This crash was on a section of road which was mentioned in my Augusta Free Press interview last week. There are no other details at this time. However, I have been in touch with the family about making a sign.

I agree with David Zipper on this. Going further, I would like to see more use of automated cell phone & seatbeat use detection systems. Cell phone detection systems have been tested by @iihs-hldi.bsky.social and been shown to be as effective as a human observer. Such systems are more equitable.

I took this photo of myself earlier today.

Can't win fairly? Then cheat! Which is now a unofficial Republican moto.

It is very sad it has gotten to the point where New York state residents need a law protecting them from federal officers violating constitutional rights, but here we are. Hopefully, Governor Kathy Hochul signs the law, if it gets that far.

And, not the last time...

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family. Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.

2025 Is Earth's Second Warmest Year Behind 2024 Through August, Report Says The first eight months of 2025 were Earth's second warmest on record, and this past summer was record warm in several locations around the world, according to just-released data.

@tomflood.bsky.social is "Always happy to talk about our streets/spaces and specifically reframing the mainstream narrative that has polluted the discussion."

Chicago’s mayor & governor react to the president declaring war on the city

At what point will it be abundantly clear to everyone that Donald Trump is not well and is not fit for office?

Trump Says America’s Oil Industry Is Cleaner Than Other Countries’. Is this because the bore holes in the United States are cleaner? The shale & pollutants from fracking are the best in the world? No, it is that Donald Trump constantly lies.

"Drijfhout and colleagues ran the latest climate models for a period extending beyond 2100 and found that high-emission scenarios, or those that cause around 4.4°C warming above preindustrial levels by the end of this century, always led to an AMOC collapse." At 4.4°C the world is unliveable!

I interviewed with Crystal Graham of Augusta Free Press in Waynesboro, Virginia. We spoke about many road safety issues and my daughter Robyn's tragic death. Augusta and Waynesboro's bicycle & pedestrian infrastructure, is poor at best. Like so may cities, the priority is given to motor vehicles.

I find Minnesota Governor "Coach" Tim Walz's comments a refreshing change from potty mouth Donald Trump in The White House. Even when he is promoting subs! Maybe he is subtly suggesting to arm up? #subthrower

National Grief Awareness Day 8.30.25

Recently, I purchased a Ubiquiti Network's UniFi LTE Mobile Router, in part for I can use external antennas. As is, the antenna that comes with the unit looks like rabbit ears. What do you think?

I don't normally post GoFundMe requests. In this case Robbie Wood of Wheel Simple was a friend of my daughter Robyn. He built a wheel for them, which was mentioned in the Bicycling story after Robyn was killed doing messenger work in NYC on June 24th, 2019. For those who can donate mention me...

It was good to see this sign in Augusta County, Virginia. It like the City of Wanyesboro, is largely pro Trump. As some might remember, two Waynesboro election board members said in October 2024 they won’t certify the election results. #resistance www.vpm.org/news/2024-10...

The Trump Administration's Division of Homeland Security moves to bar states and nonprofits, such as Red Cross, from helping undocumented immigrants after disasters. Which would add to his denying FEMA aid to blue states and even red ones if he is unhappy with them. Trump's cruelty knows no end!

Horrific and sad news. I will post more information later.

This is sadly something I know all too well...

Virginia Giuffre isn’t here to tell her story anymore, but she wrote a memoir and it’s coming out in October. She deserves to be heard and remembered. #BookSky Details here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/712958...

How fun! I hope some of my bicycist friends in New York City are able to participate in this scavenger hunt.

Protected bicycle lanes save lives!

I was born in Washington D.C. and frequently visit the area. To say that $2 billion needs to be spent to beautify the area within 3 miles of the White House & Capitol, is absurd. Apparently, North-West, North, North-East, East and South D.C. are just fine in Trump's mind. It is all about him!

Donald Trump prior to last years election said, "I am your warrior, I am your justice, and for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution." Later said he is, "...not going to have time for retribution". Trump is a pathological liar and is willing to say anything for his goals!

Sun Prairie's commitment in the past five years has yielded a safer and more accessible city for everyone. Creating a network of separated bike lanes and paths alongside improved sidewalks doesn't just encourage cycling, it fosters a more walkable community and promotes health.” @bikeleague.org

The next COVID like pandemic is out there. The United States and as a result other countries will not be prepared for it.

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.

Where there is no bicyclist or.pedesteian infrastructure, I support multi-purpose paths. In this case, there already is a two way protected bicycle and a walkway for pedestrians. The intent here is to remove the bicycle lanes so motor vehicles have more space. Such a approach reduces safety!

I would like to say this is unbelievable, however under Donald Trump and the Texas GOP Gestapo it is not.

"M-ATVs weigh 15 tons, or around 30,000 pounds, and are meant to survive the blast from an improvised explosive device. A 15 ton vehicle moving at high speed will have a hard time stopping on any street, let alone the streets of D.C." Fortunately, the driver of this SUV was not killed in the crash!

What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.

Just lovely...

I agree with this, however it is unattainable until municipalities make investments towards safe infrastructure for bicyclists. Too often I have seen that be in lines of white paint or a sharrow, neither provide adequate protection to encourage people to ride rather than drive a car.

My impression of Washington D.C. Mayor Murial Bowser has gone up immensely. Not just because she is standing her ground against Donald Trump, but she is also a bicyclist!
