This is what fuels me and what brought me back to the bicycle as an adult. Seeing the Dutch live like this on beautiful, enabling infrastructure makes me want the same freedom of safe, enjoyable, efficient mobility for everyone in every city. 📸 @radrevolte.bsky.social

We're all used to massive delivery trucks blocking our streets, but what if we shifted a large chunk of urban logistics to cargo bikes? It doesn't have to be for every package, but making this swap creates more jobs and makes our neighborhoods significantly safer.

It feels hopeless when the DPW staff doesn’t for a second think this is a problem. No one cares.

Facebook is essentially a community gathering place for people who use their phone while speeding through a school zone and nearly hitting a kid on a bike. But they also can somehow describe in excruciating detail where each and every pothole is.

Scariest words: I'm from your state DOT and I'm here to make your neighborhood a car sewer whether you like it or not

“The case for cargo bikes is no longer theoretical. They are already delivering measurable savings and reshaping how some families move through cities. What remains uncertain is how quickly infrastructure and policy will catch up.”

ICYMI: A new spot is bringing authentic slices—and serious attention to detail—to Milwaukee:

Solar panels don’t damage the countryside you just don’t like the way they look. Skylarks. Linnets. Yellowhammers. www.ecoportal.net/en/solar-pan...

nothing makes me feel more powerful than simply standing still in the crosswalk when a car doesn’t do a proper stop. you may have the two ton speed machine. but rax decides when you get to drive it

Any North Shore folks want to meet up for a portion of the ride? The destination is very favorable for us this month!

The Berkeley traffic diverter: As peasants in the Dark Ages looked upon the Roman aqueducts arching above, today's engineers can only gaze in wonderment at the awesome works of their forebears. This mysterious technology, once thrown up with ease and abandon, is wholly lost to modernity.

“The priority has to be human life over cars. Period. Full Stop.” Santa Monica Mayor Caroline Torosis at screening of “Changing Lanes” doc by Ben Wolf 🎥 chronicles fight over safe street redesign of McGuiness Blvd in Brooklyn which was finally implemented this year 🎙️ @awalkerinla.bsky.social

All car parking should be like this.

I think @ternbicycles.com should take advantage of this and finally design/release a front loading e-cargo model. R&M's future loss can be their gain.

There are more high speed trains and solar panels now than at any point in human history

Shiba inu point of view (from cargo bike 😄) of Atlanta streets alive this past weekend

Dear Riese + Müller, no matter how bleak things look in the USA right now, hold on to this country. From our own experience in our homeland, we know that better times will come again. @riesemuller.bsky.social

Huge loss in the availability of excellent e-bikes and cargo bikes for our silly country. www.r-m.de/en-us/press/...

@thewaroncars.bsky.social Wow… this really cuts to the heart of a great deal of things

Modal Filters: A "modal filter" is the highest ROI urban design tool on earth. By placing a physical barrier that lets bikes pass but blocks cars, you instantly stop drivers from using neighborhoods as high-speed shortcuts. 1/2

When asked at the pearly gates “what have you done with your life” I can confidently show an incredibly niche satirical news site and know it was all worthwhile.

​The Urban Arrow is a great e-cargo bike, but the anchor points for large loads are disappointing. It’s shortsighted engineering to view it purely as a kid-hauler when it has incredible utility. Owners have to get creative with straps.

my oldest kiddo goes 'damn now this is a vibe' and... not wrong.

Just a DPW worker driving the street sweeper down the street at full speed, fucking around with his watch with both hands

County Supervisor Anne O'Connor and I are co-hosting an event at United Methodist Church in Whitefish Bay this Thursday evening on and ICE and immigration, which will focus on understanding your rights and keeping you informed. More info at the link here: www.eventbrite.com/.../immigrat....

How did your bike enrich your life, fix your finances, or change your family's daily routine? ​A Stanford study showed stories are 22x more memorable than facts. If we want to get people out of cars, throwing emissions stats at them won't cut it. Humans need stories. Tell me yours. 👇

Pretty common trait amongst those of us affected by this violence directly, or seeing the impacts first-hand.

It’s disgusting how many people going on the record about saying “no” to a school referendum as taxing out “older or poorer” folks. Where the hell were you when the Village kneecapped an affordable housing project? Not whining about all the “traffic impacts” I presume?

On a Saturday morning in WFB you still encounter an aggressive driver who slows to roll their window down and yell at you, obstructing oncoming traffic, then accelerating away to sit at the next red light. Good work doing absolutely nothing to impact bike and ped safety, WFB trustees.

One of these was down not long ago around the OLT. It was hit by a car. How do I know, you ask? The headlight wedged inside it was a strong clue.

Why are people walking in the street today? Oh right, it rained last night and sidewalks and crosswalks all over town are flooded.

Cargo bike today since picking up two kids after work en route to home. Best parking spot in the house, 15’ from a side entry door to the building I’m at today.

WFB and the wider region has many folks on trikes like this, yet we force them into traffic and give them no place to park them. Because we don’t care about them.

If designed inclusively, cycling infrastructure offers independent mobility to those with physical impairments who are left behind by car dependence. For many people housebound or reliant on others for transport, two—or three—wheeled travel isn’t just a form of movement, it’s a form of empowerment.

youth mobility = adult relaxing I'm in this fight to do less more often.

🏳️‍⚧️ We see you, Chicago friends! Thanks to all who rallied and marched in Chicago & elsewhere for trans visibility, trans rights, and trans lives. Thank you @andrefor40th.bsky.social for joining @transupfrontil.com & all of us. PS Keep fighting, Idaho friends - we stand with you!! 🩵🩷

Stroads were once an implausible dystopian nightmare.

Infrastructure lighting can make all the difference as to whether people feel comfortable using it or not.

All the kids off school today have the streets to themselves because the adults aren’t driving anywhere. Weird thing that we choose to only allow like 4 times a year but constantly whine that kids don’t go outside anymore.

We’re so grateful to @perennialcycle.bsky.social for helping us with a very exciting new bike day… Our cargo bike library now has an Urban Arrow! This bike will be available to members to borrow for FREE when we reopen later this spring. 🚲 ❤️

Does a repository of good bike infra photos exist? Preferably reasonably well tagged and categorized, references to original sources etc where possible. Images framed and exposed in pleasing ways that are good for advocacy materials?

there is a reason basically every shared street sign in the world has a pictogram indicating children or pedestrians are present. SDOT is choosing to ignore this precedent. because they only prioritize cars.

Lie: Bike-lanes cause traffic congestion. Truth: Bike-lanes help solve traffic congestion. Lie: Bike-lanes hurt street shops if they replace parking. Truth: Bike-lanes help street shops more than street parking does. Lie: Bike-lanes cost us too much. Truth: Bike-lanes save us all public money.

I view these e-motos with the same disgust that I do cars in cities. I understand this upsets some people, but their design is aggressive and overpowered. This hijacks the irresponsibility mechanism of their operators and puts others in unnecessary danger. Ban them.

Every spring I hear people wondering how to find bike groups in the Milwaukee area, so I figured someone ought to sit down and list them all. That list is www.milwaukeebikerides.com
