Hey Portland 👋 we dropped off counter displays for our mobile app and stickers at a few bike shops. Want a free sticker?

Very excited to report that my @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social jacket has arrived and it is indeed as retroreflective as promised. As y’all know I am a sucker for anything hiviz, but this takes it to another level; could be a Halloween costume given how ghostly it looks with the flash in dark.

7,000 sets of bike lights have been funded through our platform for us to give out on the streets to people who need them. We’re currently crowdfunding bike lights for Chicago, Milwaukee, Columbus, Long Beach, & LA. Learn more: bikelaneuprising.com/bikelightgiveaways

Although police departments are supposed to address road hazards, our database shows they tend to not just ignore safety hazards faced by bicyclists, but are actually sources in create them. Their behavior sets a precedent for the rest of the community to follow their lead & also obstruct bike lanes

Quite possibly the most amazing thing I’ve ever made 🤌

Some of the bedazzling bling for upcycling the mechanic shirts are starting to arrive

What's in my cargo bike after cleaning it out to take an acceptable picture? -Spare pannier for when we get overloaded -Helmet -Big chain lock -First aid kit -Pacifier -Baby wipes -Baby food pouch -Toddler snack bar -Gloves - @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social reflective bag with tools

À défaut d'attendre au téléphone pour parler avec quelqu'un de l'AMD et que l'automobiliste soit déjà parti avant que l'agent vienne donner une contravention, je les rapporte dans l'appli de @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social pour au moins compiler les infractions.. 🗺️ www.bikelaneuprising.com/maps

We’re going to bedazzle the hell out these mechanic shirts at the party 💅

A driver blocking a bike lane asked me why I was taking a photo. When I told him why, his concern instantly disappeared. The truck belonged to rxlandscape.com I've written the company about it and uploaded the photos to @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

My mother received another birthday present today, her new @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social retroreflective jacket. Thanks to the friendly folks at Bike Lane Uprising for this fabulous safety wear that is water and wind proof. You can see how bright and reflective it is at night with headlights.

I got mine yesterday and it is even more awesome than I expected, and my expectations were high. The utility! The safety! The feel! The graphics!

I'm ready to be seen

Who else in the Twin Cities has a @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social reflective jacket? We should do a fully reflective group ride some evening. 🔦 @stephen.int42.org @pedalingprof.bsky.social @comotrekker.bsky.social @eriknoonan.bsky.social (I know I’m missing folks - who else?!)

Oooh, can't wait for a new batch of these (my method: 1. Point 2. Shoot)

In case anyone wants tips on how to take photos and videos of our retro-reflective jackets, here’s how I do it on iPhone. If folks have Androids or know other tips, feel free to add them below.

@bikelaneuprising.bsky.social knows me so well. I am, in fact, gay for bike lanes.

I got mine! Thank you!! (And my wife’s, my sons, and my daughters)

💚

Larges are now sold out. So are XSmalls. We’re working on getting more made and they are available for backorder. XLarges are more than likely the next size to sell out (11 left)

It’s here! 😍 I felt a little extra ordering a version 2.0 of a jacket I already have… but this new version is amazing. Great feature improvements over the first version + the same super duper reflective fabric I need for my rainy/snowy/nighttime rides. Well done, @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social 👏🏻

I’m so stinking EXCITED for all of you to get our reflective jackets today! We put so much work into upgrading it with new features and overall craftsmanship 💚💚💚
