Millions of people ride bikes in the Netherlands every single day and it works because everyone follows a set of unspoken rules most visitors (and expats) don't know exist. Fietshangar broke down the 4 rules that keep this cycling nation running smoothly: buff.ly/CMix9qo

The San Diego Velodrome has begun hosting bike races that exclude transgender women. This is despite a city policy prohibiting anti-trans discrimination at the racetrack. One trans racer told me the change made her feel “disposable.” Been working on this for a while, give it a read and share!

This week at @cascadiajournal.bsky.social I wrote about how the Trump regime killed the US Forest Service and why #Cascadia should take local control of federal lands in the #PNW

Shut it all down. Our taxes are funding this atrocity.

Our Complete Streets Tour will be a great time to connect w/ community, staff, & leaders to hear the safety & mobility benefits of complete streets! Together we can imagine the Bellevue streets that can benefit from this infrastructure. May 1st, 5:30-7:00 pm. RSVP here:

Avoid the 1st Ave Bridge. Still stuck. This is the side with the bike path.

I received a response from King County Parks to my request for more information and to find a suitable detour regarding the upcoming East Lake Sammamish Trail closure from May through late fall. Unfortunately, it’s not looking good. @seattlebikeblog.com

One of the stated goals of the ADF, Heritage, and Family policy council was to drive a wedge between the LGBTQ community to divide and conquer it. This pick me is willingly doing that work for them and is constantly being platformed by major media like the Atlantic and the WSJ.

I biked through on the green light without giving it a second thought. So did @bobco85.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/bobc... and @bestsidecycling.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDMW.... We were all paying very close attention to the infrastructure, and we all assumed green light means go.

Today is my first Autism Awareness Day that I have been open with being AuDHD (autism & ADHD). I’m currently on a waitlist for formal diagnosis, probably a couple of months long, but I, with the blessing of my psychologist therapist, am finally comfortable being self-diagnosed.

I’m doing research for a video project on confronting traffic offenders. I want to hear your stories on situations where you gave feedback to someone doing something wrong on road/sidewalk/trail. Please use this link or message me your answers. I will keep them anonymous. forms.gle/aHXxjWGHiRwe...

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

At a Sound Transit Talk in Bellevue with @kccclaudia.bsky.social & Redmond Mayor Angela Birney, moderated by @kellireef.bsky.social and hosted by Transportation Choices Coalition.

Handlebar view riding the newly completed Yesler Way 2-way protected bike lanes from the Waterfront Trail on Alaskan Way to the 2-way flexpost buffered bike lanes on 4th Avenue. It’s great to see this project finished! @seattledot.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com

Holy s*** that was fast! I can’t wait to check it out later today @seattlebikeblog.com 👀

The #TransitCat of the day is celebrating the opening of the Crosslake Connection.💜

I love listing the trail connections for each station; these are wonderful!

Scenes from today’s Bike the Light Rail: Crosslake Opening Day ride from ID/Chinatown to Judkins Park, Mercer Island, and South Bellevue. We had a fun while trying to avoid the crowds, and the trains were packed all day.

Hi @seattlebikeblog.com!

It’s going to be an awesome couple of days: Today is the 50th anniversary of transit in my hometown (DC), tomorrow is landmark transit connection for my home (Seattle), & Tuesday I debut a big infrastructure video I’ve really been pushing myself to create using new techniques I have just learned!

I spent most of the day with Rainier Beach High School students doing walking audits of Henderson St and Rainier Ave S. Lots of great ideas. This drawing one of them made is on point. The kids are alright

Can’t wait to lead this ride and visit the new stations!

Love to see it! Thank you to everyone like @michaelsmith.bsky.social who advocated for this project

1/3 I heard that the freeway ramp crossings around the Judkins Park light rail station (opening this Saturday) finally had the flashing beacons installed, so I checked it out along with stuff around the Rainier Ave entrance to the station. Can’t wait for Saturday!

I finally hit the 6 gallon mark with lifetime blood donation #48 today with @americanredcross.bsky.social! It’s always been enjoyable to ride on trails and greenways for most of my trip to and from the appointment, as it relaxes me. Gallon number 7 is my next target!

1/2 Early spring in Seattle can be pretty great. I did some toodling around on my bike (pt 1) while checking out some infrastructure (pt 2). -babayaga house on Beacon Hill -fountain outside ferry terminal looks a bit extra clean -daffodils in bloom on the Waterfront Trail -cherry blossoms are here!

@streetcrafting.bsky.social I “adjusted” the location of one of the cones to hopefully help with deterring drivers from entering the bike lanes. Let me know if it works while we wait for a better solution

I'm leading a free group ride to celebrate the Crosslake light rail on opening day this weekend! Learn about this and more in my monthly ride leader newsletter: mailchi.mp/69c2938aacbf...

The Alaskan Way bike lane between Blanchard and Wall is a confusing mess. Many drivers are using the bike lane to pickup, drop off, turn around, and park. @seattledot.bsky.social how to we make this intuitive for drivers and safe for people rolling?

Good morning from Red Square, WWU! I noticed that it was just about possible to get from WWU’s campus to EWU’s campus using only local public transit (No Amtrak, Flixhound, Trailways, etc), so over my Spring Break, I’m gonna attempt that journey. Come along for the ride! 🧵

Happy Caturday from Foggy who doesn’t meow that often but is obsessed with a stray thing hanging on the outside of the balcony door. He was being quite vocal this morning, and I held him up outside so he could try to get the thing

Sharing this video guide I made of the 15th Street Cycletrack from 4 years ago because I’m angry that the Trump administration is trying to remove it and destroy a safe, relatively new, & popular biking connection between downtown DC & northern Virginia. youtu.be/2c3adDO_Uno @waba.org

You've probably heard—removal of the a section of the 15th St Protected bike lane is scheduled to start monday. See how we're fighting back and how you can help: waba.org/2026/03/20/1... TL;DR: ✅ Lawyers ✅ Petition ✅ Rally with us on Monday.

What a poignant quote from today’s Seattle Times: “This car is the bane of my existence. Probably the worst decision I’ve ever made, like, financially speaking.” @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Reading this terrible, biased, and uninformed opinion piece, I wished I had an anti-bike BINGO card at hand. But he did forget to say that all cyclists are scofflaws, so it’s also lazy

I can’t believe that it’s been almost a full year since I made this newsletter, but I’m glad to get a new one out.

Happy Pi Day! This year, I made 2 pies from scratch to celebrate: -white chocolate blackberry pudding pie in a blackberry & graham cracker crust -peanut butter pie with a chocolate ganache topping sprinkled with blended Reeses pieces in an Oreo cookie crust I’m very happy with how both turned out 😋

Correction: the protected bike lanes on Airport Way between the bridge & Alaska Street.

South Seattle bike folks, I need your help: I’m seeing a report (from Seattle Cyclist discord) about SDOT crew doing work on Alaskan Way protected bike lane between the bridge & Alaska Street; crew appeared to be removing the concrete curb. Anybody know what’s going on? @seattledot.bsky.social
