I just picked up this HEAVY bookcase from someone on a Craigslist ad. The seller was so blown away by the cargo bike that they jumped on their bike and rode with me for a few blocks to see how it was possible to move such a load without a pickup truck.

Such sanitary language. A driver crossed the centerline and killed Anacortes High School teacher and pillar of the community Edmundo Corrales.

This explains something that has always mystified me about drivers who rail against bike lanes and transit. Why WOULDN'T you want people to have options not to drive? It would make your own driving better! But they don't just want good traffic, they want to reinforce the NORM of driving

Short ride home w/ my kid tonight but at an intersection I saw two sets of headlights side by side in the distance. I heard engine roar and told my kid to get to the side. She rode up onto the sidewalk, I went to the curb. Driver sped thru in the wrong lane and blew the stop sign. Sigh. We’re fine

our crossing guards do mission impossible and I am so thankful for all of them, but JFC the fact that we need "Guards" to simply ensure drivers don't run over school children? This is what is so twisted about our auto obsessed culture that we don't even see how we've completely normalized this.

Huge shout out to the Alameda Water Shuttle crew for lending me a patch kit do I could fix a flat tire, while on a boat. I got a flat in the rain. Riding with occasional pumping stops was too slow and I didn’t make it in time.

On my way home a kid in a car yelled “Bike Bus!” to me. I guess they saw my flag? I don’t know if they go to our school or not, but of the things that someone might yell at you from a car, this is one of the best.

This is absolutely devastating. The only trauma-free way out of traffic crashes is re-engineering our streets to be safe like so many other countries have already figured out.

At a red light, a driver sped through then cut off two lanes of car traffic at the next light to take a freeway ramp. I guess I got distracted. Next I heard “Bicyclist! Get out of the way!” The light had turned green and another driver was trying to turn right.

I’ve been sitting outside of a bike boulevard for a while today. I hear people chatting riding side by side and the quiet sound of freewheels and ebike motors, and the occasional revving car engine. It’s a nice street to sit at and listen.

PBOT is removing many planters/diverters. Streets are being made less safe as part of "Fixing Our Streets". BikeLoud will be writing letters and following up. It's helpful if YOU read the
