Hi y'all! Here are a few moments from our Bergen Bike Brunch ride 🥰 A big thank you to Principles GI Coffee, PS 770 Bike Bus, @coachbalto.bsky.social (of @bikebusworld.bsky.social) & everyone who was able to join us for this special edition ride! 🍩☕

We always question the budgets for things that make our cities safer and more livable for people, but we never seem to ask "how much will this cost" for car culture. Maybe it's time we start. 💰

"Infrastructure alone is not enough. Truly #justcities must prioritise #safety, #connection, and #dignity for the most #vulnerable. By centring care in planning, cities can become places where everyone can move freely, live well, and belong." Read Jac Torres-Gomez and her family's #perspective

Here's our route info for tomorrow's (9/24 - 8AM) special Brunch Ride to Principles GI, in case you'd like to meet us at the start or join us along the way. tracker.bikebus.nyc/bergen/ A big thank you to the awesome @roosto (on IG) for updating our live tracker for this special #BikeBus ride.

More talks/lectures being booked at various universities and events for the Fall and Winter. If interested can connect here or through my site creativebyrovelo.com. Always happy to talk about our streets/spaces and specifically reframing the mainstream narrative that has polluted the discussion.

TRENDING NOW: 'Tis the season, I suppose, but 1164 days after its release, this fascinating discussion with @coachbalto.bsky.social about #BikeBus is trending once again. youtu.be/S9twSCBYZu0

Happy welcome back to school to all NYC students, families, educators & staff 📚✨ We wish you a great start to the 2025-26 school year!! #BikeNYC bikebus.NYC @nycschools.bsky.social

The tools exist to fix dangerous conditions outside school streets. Virtually overnight, we can: - Reduce speed limits outside schools - Make universal daylighting the law All eyes on you @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social

Hi y'all! Happy Back-to-School Week 🎒✏️📔🍎📚 Our countdown continues: we're ONE week away from the first Bergen #BikeBus of the school year. We're excited to start a new year of riding together to school in a fun, active & sustainable way. Interested? For info or to sign up, scan the QR code!

Europe will only give a top safety rating to cars w/buttons (not just touchscreens): “The overuse of touchscreens is an industry-wide problem, with almost every vehicle-maker moving key controls onto central touchscreens, obliging drivers to take their eyes off the road.” etsc.eu/cars-will-ne...

What if traffic deaths weren’t accidents, but design failures? When kids step into the road too soon, we blame them. But poor crossings, missing bike paths, and ignored speed limits put them at risk. It’s time we designed for everyone's safety.

The always awesome Brooklyn Bike Jumble is 2 weeks away (Saturday, Sept. 13) from 10am-4pm at the Washington/JJ Byrne Park (by the Old Stone House) in Brooklyn. We'll be there along with vendors & other orgs, so definitely check it out, stop by & say hi! ✨ (REPOST: @nybikejumble via IG) #bikeNYC

I would live to see families call on the district to #BanCars near schools as vehicle emissions are a driver of human caused global heating. TLDR Portland schools don't have AC (because it wasn't needed until recently) kids are being released early due to heat. www.kgw.com/article/weat...

Canada and the US are both car-centric, spacious countries. But an American is 2.5x more likely to die in a crash than a Canadian – and the gap is widening. My latest, in Bloomberg. 🧵

Is DOT finally doing something about NYPD bike lane and sidewalk parking corruption? The funniest 30ft of bike lane was just installed in Astoria

Great check out bike ride to school with granddaughter and her dad this morning. Checking out the route for future #BikeBus. Granddaughter started off on cargo bike so that we can safely cross the intersection of the 55 mph 4 lane road that has no signalization. Then she biked 3.5 miles to school.

Here are a few moments from Saturday's amazing KiDICAL MAss Family Ride. A big thank you to KiDICAL Mass NYC, BikeBus.NYC & @transalt.org ♥️ Our countdown for the start of the '25-'26 school year & our fall season begins. Our first ride is on Wednesday, September 10 ✨🚲 We hope you join us!

Thank you to the amazing activists who have fought so hard for so long to finally Make McGuinness Safe. City Hall should never stand in the way of New Yorkers' safety.

We had a great day in Brooklyn at @nyc-dot.bsky.social Summer Streets '25. Connected w/ local leaders @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social, who we hope to see riding on the Bergen Bike Bus, getting kids to school in a safe, active & joyful way! Please join us for our 1st ride 9/10.

With the words of the wise @tomflood.bsky.social

Our KiDICAL Mass Family ride is only 4 days away (Sat. 8/23) & we can't wait! Starting at Lincoln Terrace/Arthur Somers Park (10:45am) going to the Classon Avenue Pit Stop & for an extended ride folks can continue to a 2nd stop at Vanderbilt Open Street. Join us! For info www.bikebus.nyc/events-2-1

Assuming 3-4 kWh per micromobility device, these people are all moving across the city on the same battery capacity as ONE electric Hummer with a 246 kWh battery. Cars are the most inefficient way to move people through a city, especially since most are single occupancy. (1/2)

Hi y'all! Our third & next KiDICAL Mass Kids & Family ride is on Saturday, August 23 - join us! We'll ride from Lincoln Terrace/Arthur Somers Park (10:45am) to the Classon Avenue Pit Stop of Brooklyn's Summer Streets. We can't wait! ✨🚲 For info go to: www.bikebus.nyc/events-2-1

Emily Stutts (one of our co-founders) wrote a Donors Choose to fund an adaptive bike for her school's cycling education program. Having an adaptive bike ensures there's accommodating equipment available for all students. Please consider contributing or sharing! 🙂 www.donorschoose.org/project/adap...

Seems like we'd want to incentivize this as a city... but instead we're now in the business of ripping out bike lanes, harassing cyclists with the police, and have failed to build any secure bike parking that would allow people to actually consider cargo bikes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fantastic work and approach to cut through the lies with data from Strava and Garmin
