Today’s #KidicalMass ride on Sun Day in Berkeley was beautiful! Thank you organizers and corkers! youtube.com/shorts/xR8ex...

May all of your rides home be blessed with vibes like these

Every sidewalk bicyclist is a vote for protected bike lanes.

For some more perspective, the WHO estimates that 1.19 million die in road traffic crashes per year.

We’ve got a great #BikeBus this year. I’m trying to savor every one. I usually hang back with one family with a kid on training wheels. She got them off a few days ago and this time, I barely saw her from my view as the caboose. youtube.com/shorts/Zc8ia...

It’s like this everywhere in the USA. How do people get out of car brain mode?

Adding car lanes to a highway will not help save the wetland. It will harm it. Directly.

Stressful morning for BART commuters trying to find alternative ways to get between SF and the East Bay. Biking across the Bay Bridge would be a fantastic option…..if the bike path didn’t stop halfway across 🥲 Sign our petition to get more folks moving!

Fresh new protected intersection and mural: 10th and Jackson, and at the Amtrak station. #PaintTheTown youtube.com/shorts/HrPha...

The new watch data surprised me about my kid’s daily activity levels youtube.com/shorts/IgqJ_... I did not expect there to be peaks for the bike commute. I expected them at recess.

#BikesBuildCommunity thread: The bike ride home from school dropoff this morning was a really neat example of how riding bikes for transportation can help foster social connections.

I like listening to this video the best. It’s a juxtaposition of the persistent noise pollution from cars on the roadway and the chatter of a parent encouraging their kid, and others catching up on the new school year. What would you rather have on your streets?

Thank you @oaklandballers.bsky.social for coming to storytime at West Oakland Branch! ⚾📖✨

Incredible #BikeBus today in Oakland CA! Very gratifying to see some younger families hopping on the bus since we're aging out of elementary school next year. Let's keep it rolling! *Look how many cars we aren't*

We’re prepping Aventon Abound LR/SR Lock Blocks tonight. What the heck is that?? Only the greatest locking solution ever developed for cargo bikes. Throw your questions in the comments. community-pedal-power.square.site/product/aven...

Our #BikeBus to school. Amazing riding with these people every week. Bike bus to school! youtube.com/shorts/aGuey...

First #BikeBus of the year!

The two commissioners who voted against the trail closure, Yoriko Kishimoto and Barry Nelson, should be lauded for understanding what the purpose of BCDC is and why they were at the meeting. The rest should be ashamed, incl those who expressed reservations but voted to close the trail anyway

For the first time in history, since the Bay Conservation & Development Commission (BCDC) was formed in 1965, they voted to reduce public access & close 4 miles of Bay Trail along the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge four days/week for 3 years.

Protect your local diverter

Connor Lennon says they will stand in protection of the diverter at NW 20th / Everett all day today and tomorrow. “If they want to remove these they will have to physically remove me.” A rally is planned for today (8/7) at 4pm at this location.

Astonishing to hear several BCDC commissioners state that: Ending 24/7 bike/walk access to Richmond San Rafael Bridge curtails maximum public access to the Bay, AND that such a move is unprecedented, BUT they still plan to curtail access. Why? The purpose of BCDC is to protect & expand access.

"If a cyclist makes a mistake, he dies. If a car makes a mistake, he also dies." This Dan Donahue video is so good. I love his point that a lot of cyclist hate comes from drivers being mad they have to drive everywhere. I don't think that's the reason for *all* the hate, but it's a factor!

Some DIY traffic calming I came across

These two headlines provide a nice little snapshot on how politicians are handling transportation governance is in progressive, blue state Oregon. #orleg #orpol

Dashboard doggo

“The biggest barrier is the lack of a connected network and comfortable complete streets that include separated bike lanes, green spaces and safer traffic intersections.” As a ‘mature’ cyclist, I would like to cycle more, but the patchwork of disconnected paths makes that difficult.

In healthy neighborhoods, you see faces, not windshields.

Volunteers with bikes needed this Sunday, July 13 from 10am-12pm ‼️🚲 Help us deliver meals to our unhoused neighbors in Oakland. We're teaming up with Community Kitchens to make it happen, but are short a few folks for this weekend. Can you help? RSVP at portal.ckoakland.org/forms/bike

A friend got back from vacation with family. They biked around to get places, and had a great time. They asked their kid if they wanted to get a bike (they don't own one now) so they could ride around Oakland. "No, there are too many cars and it feels too dangerous" 😥

Overhead while waiting for a walk signal: Mom talking to toddler, in stroller, while walking dog: “Cars are the most dangerous thjngs. Ron doesn’t know how to cross the street.”

Yesterday we rode with the #CargoBikeBrigade for the Alameda 4th of July parade. Alameda 4th of July Parade Cargo Bike Brigade 2025 youtube.com/shorts/4BTyx...

I had a bad weird interaction with a driver today. I was riding in a painted bike lane and they came up from behind me slowly merging into me. They got close enough for me to tap their car to get their attention. They kept driving into me, so I yelled and stopped to avoid getting flattened. .

Prioritizing Youth Mobility Is Prioritizing Adult Relaxing.

Baby’s first rack and pannier 🥺

Bow, on sidewalk, Ninth Street in South Berkeley.

so when our approach to road safety is to penalize youth, it feels just a little misguided. We've already punished them enough by designing them out of their streets.

Can you haul a brass band on bikes to accompany your #BikeBus to school? For the third time, yes. Big thanks to all our volunteers and musicians!

Minneapolis: Keep an eye out for this bike!

I tested out some new protected bike lane on 14th street yesterday in Oakland. They don’t really look fully open yet but this was nice.

Our June Kids Bike adventure was a multimodal trip to Brentwood via BART and many bike paths to visit a farm and pick cherries and stone fruit. youtube.com/shorts/Mhlj0...

This was our last #BikeBus of the school year youtube.com/shorts/NLpGN... We’re glad these families chose to bring joy to the neighborhood streets!

A few YVR bike scenes. Vancouver is lovely. Only did a little bit of riding but it was a good time. youtube.com/shorts/MMyPJ... #bikeYVR

I always love seeing the line of people riding their bikes off of the ferry. Glad that so many make this multi-modal commute. youtube.com/shorts/QVf3e...

Are you out in your community or watching life through a window? #BikeBus still going every week! Today’s #BTWD2025 and we rolled by other bike buses. Thanks to Alameda Co Safe Routes to School for swag & the kids, parents & community for support. youtube.com/shorts/BmnOJ... #BTWD
