ACAB includes the townie cop who told me it's too dangerous to ride bikes to school with my kid. I asked him why and he said because of all the cars. Maybe he should spend his time making them slow down instead of chastising us for not driving.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Of course someone made an Imperial Star Destroyer Volvo. I swear I’d didn’t know about this before I made the Landspeeder bike

I’m not perfect and neither are you. We rush, get distracted, sometimes make dumb choices. That’s life. But behind the wheel those mistakes can ruin lives. On a bike the worst I risk is me. That’s why I ride. Safer for you, safer for me.

When the car companies know it’s so messed up that they have to gaslight you with some perverted trauma bonding manipulation advertising…

Is this satire? Do parents really wait for two hours in their car just to pick up their kids? I’d tell her to get a life but maybe I should just recommend that she gets a cargobike instead.

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, and now every third post of mine is bike

IDK, starting to feel like we went to far with this whole automobile thing

The best. I went into Harris Cyclery to pick up some tires for my commutecycle back in the day. I said something like, I just ride this one to work. For serious rides, I've got a racing bike. He looks me in the eyes and says "The most serious thing you can do with your bike is ride it to work."

We made a comic about wheels.

I couldn't find the infographic I saw a long time ago. So I made a new one!

Reflecting on this today and while it’s funny I don’t think it represents my beliefs. For example, violence has ever been stopped for long with more violence. We need to resist and disobey in creative non-violent ways. Please do not start trouble. Stand up when your day comes.

Not just dangerous for cyclists but potentially deadly to drivers! Bike lanes built like this are a risk to everyone. Today I narrowly avoided a woman who did not look before steps g out from behind a large suv. Drivers should also want better infrastructure

rebranding the 15 min city.

Taking every opportunity to reassert my claim to being the Beer Barrel Bike Baron of Bridgeport.

If you’re not riding bikes with me… You are riding bikes against me.

The only thing sadder than hearing from ppl who want to bike more but are afraid of drivers (understandable) is finding out someone used to bike a lot but stopped because they became frightened of drivers (also understandable).

I’ve waited all year to share this with you.

Some of you know that I'm an English-language teacher in Slovakia. Last year I made a lesson for driving-age students in which they discuss ideas about how to make driving safer. 🧵 I did the lesson again this year, and I was surprised that this one 👇was the most popular suggestion overall.

Seems appropriate.

Wanted to participate in the Luna Park Chalk Art Festival. Somebody asked me to incorporate the first amendment in my piece, so this is what I came up with. "BIKE PARTY is proof that First Amendment Freedom of Assembly is valuable."

People commonly say their street is too narrow for bike lanes. Too few question if it’s too narrow for parking.

This trip would have been better by bike

we can build whatever world we want

Bringing back sunken living rooms would fix a lot of what’s wrong in this timeline

If we had the same roadway fatality rate as Switzerland or Norway, which is a completely achievable goal, more than three-quarters of these people would still be with us.

There was a car crash on the two-lane road near us. Someone lost their life. At the soccer game, I overheard people speaking about it as if it were simply part of life, something inevitable. 1/2

Bamboo is an excellent material for bike frames. ✅ Sustainable ✅ Smooth ✅ Strong ✅ Safe

If every single bicycle in the world disappeared cars would be just as slow as they are today. If every single car in the world disappeared bikes would be multiple magnitudes faster than they are today. A 40 minute urban bike ride would go down to 20 minutes.

good morning sundance kids

Good Vibes Only Have a great weekend everyone, you’ve earned it.

Ok, maybe there are some things cars are better at.

“When you fail to provide outlets and agency to people, like these kids, they will take space for themselves” This isn’t even the best quote from this young rider about the passion the youth have for bikes. Fantastic content

Me and who and who and who and who and who?

Rebranding Mtb bar ends from the 90’s as side view mirror adjusters for cars parked in the bike lane…

I rode around a bit with no hands on the tall bike today. I should probably run away from home and join a circus.

if you need me i’ll be in my office

I wish my car had a more tech features. Car to car communication. Problematic and controversial I know but I want to alert people they are being dangerous. Connected to police reporting feature probably. Fart spray. If you wanna ride my ass, I want you to remember what it smells like.

Me: Morning! Kids: ..... Me: Time to get up! Kids: ..... Me: What can I start making for breakfast? Kids: .... Me: It's a Bike Bus morning! Kids:

My 6th long bicycle journey has begun, so I guess I’d better start posting about it and making this account more active! The current #BicycleTour is basically me taking a break from the grinds of capitalism & being a bicycling nomad until I find a place to stop. #BikeSky #BicycleTouring

It’s ok if you miss some special milestone on your bicycle. It’s probably because you were happily riding your and living in the moment.

the hardest parts of life are much easier to handle if you can keep your cadence high

My kid told his mom, "If Dad can bike to work in the rain then I can bike to school in the rain." #ProudDad #CommuteByBike
