I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

Despite the Verrazzano's best efforts, I finished the 48th Annual 5 Boro Bike Tour. See you again next year!

Hey, I'm on the radio.

Come on @cityofmelbourne.bsky.social #victoria #australia @victorianlabor.bsky.social we need way more safe bike & car free infrastructure make Melbourne better

The Department of Pedalling and Perspiration suggests #cyclists should be paid $1 per kilometre and up to $50 a day for their efforts in reducing #fuel consumption. I feel quite the April fool for wishing it were true.

Such a misleading title about Wellington Street “bicycle street” plan as Abbotsford, Carlton, Clifton Hill, Collingwood, Richmond et al had modal filters installed decades ago. Political opportunism has uncanny ability to make nice things miserable /1 archive.is/Of8c3

Breaking news from @bikewest.org - Canberra has announced new Ride to Save scheme with national cycling rebate scheme and rapid implementation for safe cycling infrastructure across Australia!

New! @3crmelbourne.bsky.social podcast: Raving about Bike Rave Melbourne! Talking to Curtis Hatton, Bike Rave Melbourne. News incl free PT & with limited PT accessibility in many parts of Melbourne shouldn't some pop-up style bike lanes be part of the solution? www.3cr.org.au/yarrabug/epi...

Contrast the two images: in March-April 2026 with a Australian petrol crisis & crunch time for many household budgets, it is an indictment that Yarra Council decided to proceed with demolition of Elizabeth Street protected lanes exactly when residents need safe, economical transport options /1

From Bicycle Network: Yarra pushes on with sub-standard bike lanes 'To squeeze the new redundant parking in, the council has opted for a too-narrow bike lane configuration that does not satisfy national, state or local guidelines for such infrastructure.' bicyclenetwork.com.au/newsroom/202...

Meanwhile in Richmond, Melbourne, neither Road Safety minister Melissa Horne or Active Transport minister, Gabrielle Williams, know who's responsible for Elizabeth St, a strategic cycling corridor, demolished by Yarra Council & being replaced with not fit for purpose narrow lanes, we have receipts!

Remembering Yukako, Will, Carolyn & also reminding City of Melbourne that inaction & blame shifting costs lives. Ghost bikes become flashpoint between council and cycling advocates www.cbdnews.com.au/ghost-bikes-...

Ghost bikes should stay where they are until they stop needing to be placed where drivers kill cyclists. Once zero cycling deaths occur cities should put up a ghost memorial with all the names of cyclists lost to political inaction and driver violence.

Because treating people fairly can sometimes mean treating them differently.

Turns out Parisians don’t hate bike lanes as much as CNN thinks.

Bikes are really good now. The range of choices at all prices. The used market. The fact my bike won’t stop working if a new model comes out.

I'm so jealous. www.rfi.fr/en/france/20...

Perhaps Yarra Council and Mayor Stephen Jolly @stephenjolly.bsky.social could do the same! #CityOfYarra @yarrabike.bsky.social @streetsaliveyarra.bsky.social

New! @3crmelbourne.bsky.social podcast: Catching up on the Elizabeth Street bike lanes & other musings, Faith & Val on QLD e-bike safety issues, who's responsible for Strategic Cycling Corridors in Victoria & 15 minute cities - how urban design entered the culture war www.3cr.org.au/yarrabug/epi...

Received my first semi-hate mail but it was worth it just for the opening line - "Who are you, and whom do you purport to represent?". It was sent via a mailto: link on a page that has my real name on it. Nowhere on the site to I purport to represent anyone.

Signs are going up!

The experience absolutely matters. I could walk hours down a bustling pedestrian-oriented commercial street or a tree-lined urban residential street but only like 5 minutes (willingly) down a wide stroad with huge parking lots in front of every building.

"You care about something? You must have an A G E N D A" "Yes ma'am that's what caring about things leads to"

Jesus fuck, the Socialist councillors that I've seen have been disappointing. First Sue Bolton voting to remove bike lanes in Merri-bek and now this in Yarra from Stephen Jolly. www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

📢 Cyclists protested on Monday morning as Yarra City Council began works to shrink Richmond bike lanes for car parking, despite safety warnings from advocates.
