Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, the electric cargo bike?

Exactly why businesses can't have bike corrals in front or why they can't install bike racks on the sidewalk. Let's rethink this insurance req please! Meantime the car part shop nearby parks jalopies in the crosswalk/loading zone every day no problem thephiladelphiacitizen.org/guest-commen...

Porch fest was stellar and allowed for a lovely ride on the newly parking protected Walnut Street bike lane. Even the orange construction cones were effective and made me feel safer 🎉🎉

There is nothing more satisfying than the largest buffet in the US and Amish furniture on a dreary rainy birthday in PA #shadymaplebuffet #amishcountry

Software projects are mostly just tolerating the legacy databases and taxonomies until someone can't stand it anymore and forced everyone to reinvent them

Same. Looking at you Giant on Broad/Washington 👀

An extremely unexpected thing has happened in the Bronx, where New York State has kiboshed entirely a plan to repair elevated sections of the Cross Bronx Expressway that acvitists fought over concerns that the repairs would mean wider highway shoulders nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/18/b...

infrastory.substack.com/p/the-toront... "The lesson isn’t complicated: If transit is frequent and convenient enough—even if it’s slow and sometimes unreliable—even many people who can afford a car will choose to use it."

Added another bike to the shed today: my daughter's 3rd one. She now has more bikes than the rest of the family combined. I don't hate it. Come ride with us!

Thanks Philly OTIS for the new replacement flex posts on the 11th St protected bike lane! They look so fresh just in time for Bike Month! #otis @bikeaction.org

Help out this wonderful neighbor of ours! They are in a tough position and they need all our support. gofund.me/8a0b0f0f5

A Nissan Sentra weighs a little more than 3,000 pounds (I picked a small, common car) An Aventon Level 3 E-bike weighs 67 pounds (plus rider weight) These things do not pose remotely the same risk when traveling at 28 mph. I am begging people to understand basic physics.

Welcome Spring!

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

On Sunday, Philadelphia had equal numbers of homicides and traffic deaths. While the city has seen killings decline by nearly 80% since pandemic-era highs, progress on traffic deaths has been much slower. www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...

“Driving is so hard-wired into American culture, life and institutions, that it’s hard to account for all the ways it is subsidized, preferenced or otherwise favored. But a law professor at the University of Iowa, attempted it anyway.” #UtbanTruth Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

When cars kill, it's just the cost of doing business. When e-bikes get popular, suddenly we need strict ordinances to stop "accidents".

When I entered grad school in 2013 we thought we had hit peak VMT (vehicle miles traveled) in the US 😭Inflation adjusted gas prices are still below what they have been for the past 50 years. We're up to 50M more miles driven each year since then. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/VMT

Took the quiz and came back with the bike that's already in my shed ❤️🚲

I had forgotten that most think I'm a lunatic for walking or biking my daughter a mile through the city to her preschool. Every once in a while I remember a particular teacher of mine did that in Baltimore and I thought he was nuts. Now I get it.

Oh dang, didn't expect 'em to run an opinion piece on bluesky. Please read this. It'd make my grandma so proud knowing I'd been published in the Strib.

Today is Transit Worker Appreciation Day, and our loving cup of public transit passion runneth over! 🥰 🚉 💖 Riders used Transit to sign, seal and deliver over 35K thankful messages to 600+ agencies, and we’re sharing some gems today to celebrate: https://go.transit.app/thanks 💌

Cities spend millions on plastic flex posts that get flattened in a week. Meanwhile, the cheapest, most effective design tool is a boulder. They protect people, enforce behavior, and actually survive doing their job.

NYT buried the lede here. Gas prices are (with inflation) still lower than they were in the 2000s and 2010s. Last charts show the most. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

“Parisian car traffic fell by more than half between 2002 and 2023, while cycle lanes expanded sixfold. Bikes now make more than twice as many journeys as cars.” www.ft.com/content/882e...

How much is gas now? No idea but carrying 3 kids with their scooters via bikes still gets you pretty far for almost free in Philly

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

It is time.

Took my aunt on her first two snowy bike rides today in Philly and she LOVED IT thanks Indego bikeshare we had a blast

"you look happier" thanks i took the bus here

Happy Valentine's Day my love I've spent an hour hacking away at the ice to allow us access to your @ternbicycles.com for the first time in a month

Happy Valentine's Day sickos.

Know what was awesome today? My kid and I caught the 4 bus 3 times. Never waited more than 3 or 4 minutes for it. The snow was completely cleared at each stop along Broad Street. Was a delightful warm ride. Thanks @septaphilly.bsky.social !

Best form of winter transport

Love tree chippin at the park

Nine years ago today — January 9, 2017 — was the last time Hoboken had a traffic death. Universal daylighting works. New Yorkers deserve the same protections as our neighbors across the Hudson River. Hundreds of New Yorkers die in preventable crashes every year. That has to end.

Happy new year! Same old tired wobbly bike racks next to 5 day old crowd control measures to use here in Philly! Maybe #fifa2026 or #america250 celebrations means we can get better bike infra for everyone? A girl can dream.

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good bike!

Latest rumor about New Jersey's e-bike regulation bill, which would require licenses, insurance, and registration for all e-bikes, including Class I e-bikes, is that the state Senate has introduced an amendment with a carve-out for "bike-share companies with municipal contracts" 😬🙄🤮

Luxury Apartments Are Bringing Rent Down in Some Big Cities “New building openings are bringing rents down as wealthy tenants trade up, forcing landlords to drop prices for older apartments.” @bloomberg.com

Charge more for the stuff you don't want people doing (driving in the city) and it'll do that magic supply/demand curve we all learned about in Econ 101. Science wins again!

Garden State pols want to require all e-bike riders have licenses, registration and insurance — citing several instances of drivers killing two-wheelers to justify making it harder for New Jerseyans to access the benefits of even the lowest-speed e-bikes. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/19/n...

If 4 kids can ride their bikes next to this stroad maybe they'll grow up to get rid of the stroad?

Just went to Shane Confectionery for gifts in Old City and coming back in a mostly-not-icy new protected bike lane! Thanks to everyone who made this happen! My mother in law will be very pleased with her treats

24 hours post storm and post rush hour Monday and fully half the cars on the block are still covered in snow and unusable. So glad we allow unlimited free storage of this stuff on our streets.

The festive spirit of the season hits better on a bike #southphilly

A wealthy safe streets advocate could do the most good by paying a team of maybe a half dozen journalists to aggressively and comprehensively report every single traffic death in every major city. Depicting the horrifying human cost, FOIing PDs and DOTS, contextualizing it in policy choices, etc.

Doubling down on forced car dependency is *not* the path to addressing climate change. Any city or state that isn’t investing in ebike subsidies and separated bike infrastructure is missing out on more affordable climate, health and livability wins via bikes.
