“Hi, I’m Winter Olympics gold medalist Alysa Liu. Before I brought gold to the Bay Area, BART was always there for me to take me training at the ice rink and to see family and friends. [why transit good] This November, register to vote and vote YES on Measure XX. Let’s bring gold for our transit.”

Busy streets with fast car traffic rob you from hearing the sounds of streets busy with life - birds chirping, kids playing, music, footsteps from walking, friends chatting while coasting on their bikes, people walking and having conversations.

“And bikeways” 🥹

Unfortunately Berkeley's Hopkins cycletrack debate is back, and not in a good way. Please take 2 minutes to sign this petition from @walkbikeberk.bsky.social & let electeds know that no project should move forward on Hopkins without a full review & community process actionnetwork.org/letters/5f6e...

One state lawmaker suggested that in her district, more people are struck by e-bike riders than by car drivers. But according to crash data, there were just 24 involving e-bikes in her district in 2025 — meanwhile, there were 1,132 involving cars, trucks, SUVs and vans.

youtube.com/shorts/UkrVz... They are building and selling war inspired vehicles on the streets but we’re building community instead. The #BikeBus brings joy to our streets

This kid is just trying to get to school. We can design the danger out (Video/photo of kid attempting to cross street to get to school, and multiple drivers have cars in the crosswalk. Adult in foreground helped the kid finish crossing)

wait we can just do this? no impact studies? no community consultation meetings? no council votes? we can make a little bit of bike infrastructure nicer? gosh..

Bicycle storage

Office fortune cookie!

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. #OneLessTruck #CargoBikes #BikesAreBetter

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

Bikes rule and cars drool.

We’re so sorry.

It's Giving Tuesday, and all gifts made tonight by 11:59pm will be doubled, up to $25,000. We're proud to be your local bike coalition: thanks for helping us build safer, more joyful, and inclusive communities across the East Bay. ➡️ BikeEastBay.org/GivingTuesday

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

Happy Thanksgiving!

I had the helmet bag today.

Super weird juxtaposition to see this sign in opposition to new bike/walk improvements on 40th st in Emeryville, then hear a stranger tell me they’re worried about getting hit youtube.com/shorts/9XfbI...

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

Riding for Ruby Bridges Day! #RubyBridgesWalkToSchoolDay youtube.com/shorts/wmM-Z...

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.

The 217 widening project is finished. Let's see how congestion looks tonight. 👀 @nomorefreewayspdx.com www.kgw.com/article/traf...

Second week of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail closure. Heck of a job, @mtcbata.bsky.social!

From the first morning of the trail closure. Mission accomplished, everyone!

I’ve been wanting to go back and re-listen to my audio recording of a 2023 Vision Zero Cities Conference panel and pull out anything else that was interesting. I finally got around to doing that. And turns out, there was a lot more worth sharing. bikeportland.org/2025/10/29/p...

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.

Looking at a city through private windows feels a little more like watching it on TV than actually being there

Cardiff will be the first UK city to introduce a surcharge for oversized SUVs and trucks, "while very large vehicles – those over 3,500kg – will be excluded from residential permits entirely."

Our Walk and Roll to School Day #BikeBus youtube.com/shorts/mBTUT...

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.

A belated final day of our #WeekWithoutDriving. We rode to a friend’s birthday ice cream crawl. Protected lanes mean friends and cousins can ride side by side. youtube.com/shorts/eIiC1...

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 6: group ride to Emeryville Harvest fest and bike valet, ride downtown to Jack London Sq to catch the Woodstock water shuttle, then soccer time in Alameda youtube.com/shorts/Yco6L...

#WeekWithoutDriving day 5: rolling by other commuters to school at a traffic circle is always nice. We ring our bells to say hello.

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 4: sorta rainy morning but not unpleasant at all. First time wearing the raincoat in a while.

Interesting. @seattledot.bsky.social crews are installing a new bike lane barrier on Campus Parkway today that I’ve never seen before. They call them “a new recycled rubber material that we are excited to pilot and evaluate its durability. “ www.seattle.gov/transportati...

Soooooo how's everyone liking Bluesky?

Today was Day 3 of #WeekWithoutDriving 1) We do school dropoff in the morning via #BikeBus 2) Ribbon cutting ceremony for great new mobility lanes 3) I checked out a new drop off zone youtube.com/shorts/Tssmr...

First pumpkin of the season.

Day 2 of #WeekWithoutDriving - it’s not always great. Close call this morning. But new painted lanes downtown. Could be better, but still an improvement.

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 1. Rolling home from school. Riding a bike is more fun than driving.

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 @bikeportland.org article and comment there too! Every bit of street safety takes so much work! Aargh!

14. Door zone bike lanes are malpractice and should be illegal.
