“SUV” 🤔

I think that first photo in front of the Capitol is one of the most iconic @hillfamilybiking.org pictures I’ve ever taken, and I’ve taken a few thousand of them.

The Feds plan to rip out the 15th St bike lanes on the National Mall on Monday Join Hill Family Biking on Sunday for a giant protest ride! www.eventbrite.com/e/hill-famil...

I had to sprint on my 🚲 for several blocks to get from the back of the pack to well ahead of the group so I would have enough time to set up this shot. But well worth it! (Also sprinting: our amazing ride marshals who you see zipping past everyone in this video!)

Me!

😡

A very “only in DC” kind of ad. Lots of these in the 🚇 as well.

Here is another example from yesterday’s ride… @hillfamilybiking.org #BideDC

I’m trying to get more interesting shots out of the #Insta360. For a smaller ride here with @hillfamilybiking.org, this was okay. Anyone have other ideas for filming our big group rides? Not really looking to show my own ride perspective, but rather documenting others on the ride.

I try to be reasonable, but I do ask my residents to show their pre-op plans in our indications conference with the cases. Not to be performative, but to lead by example.

I’m not usually on this side of the camera, but I made an exception because it’s important!

I was wondering why the “in session” light atop the dome was on at 6am as I rode my bike to work this morning. Nice job @merkley.senate.gov !

How was your weekend?

We dream of a DC where all streets are safe enough for our youngest residents to ride #BikeDC #OpenStreets

I’m not gonna call this a pet project, but I am definitely aggressively promoting this project!

Mission accepted! 🫡 🎥 🚲

Yesterday’s PM queue at Inman Square. This bike traffic is out of control, when are they gonna tear out those pointless car lanes?!?

Weather is great. Come on out!

Evening rush-hour traffic. 🚲 🚲 🚲 🚦 Though I always prefer the empty bike lanes over car gridlock, it makes me happy when there are so many people on bikes. Great to see the infrastructure in use & strength in numbers makes us all safer. Happy to put up with some of this kind of traffic.

Listening to @acquiredfm.bsky.social episode on the history of Epic Systems as I spend my early morning pajama time catching up on my charting on Epic…

Very well-said by my friend @mark-sussman.bsky.social on behalf of our @hillfamilybiking.org crew. Also lots highlighting some of our great bike infrastructure. Yet there remains much work to be done.

A patient gave me this very sweet home-made thank you card this week. I have no idea where they got their design inspiration. Do you?

Hill Family Biking Littles (3-6 year olds) Ride Yesterday: 220 strong! #BikeDC #BikeSky

In November, @hillfamilybiking.org hosted their 1st Littles Ride - a 1-mile on-street bike ride tailored to 3-6 year olds. 200 people showed up. Saturday is our 2nd Littles Ride. 200 peope are already signed up. Parents are starved for safe streets so kids can be kids. linktr.ee/hillfamilybi...

Months of planning with my program Co-Chair Deana Mercer culminated yesterday in a super-successful Hand Specialty Day where hundreds of attendees hopefully learned a thing or two from 5 hours of talks by more than 50 faculty! Thanks to ASSH and AAHS for helping us put on a show at #AAOS2025 !

The best time to replace my brake pads would have been a while ago. Second best was today! Thanks to @thedailyrider.bsky.social for the fresh supply!

Only 2 months ago, this post seemed like just a funny light-hearted observation.

A nice brisk ride around the neighborhood with @hillfamilybiking.org

"I have other ligaments, it's like a normal knee. Things can go wrong, but the titanium knee component is indestructible." Sounds like someone who was given WAY too rosy an outlook by their surgeon. The titanium (+ plastic + cobalt/chrome…) are strong, but can also get ripped out of one’s bones.

The usual prime sledding down the Capitol Building’s hill is off limits to kids during today’s snow due to anti-shenanigan measures for January 6th. But the Capitol Hill *neighborhood* still finds a way!

Really great, practical, and small steps from @brenttoderian.bsky.social I’m proud to say that I had to get at least halfway through this list before coming across something that my family and I haven’t already been trying to do. Special shoutout goes to #21 with @hillfamilybiking.org !

Monday we are going to bring out the #sneckdowns in DC…

TIL that apparently Jimmy Carter was also a bicycling enthusiast. Great thread of photos here.

I’m only a hand doctor, but I suspect this knee has some issues. #OrthoSky

“Bothered” is putting it mildly. This has practically ruined my Christmas today. #HandSky

Grrrr 😠

Oh look, the @nytimes.com is doing #HandSurgery content (sort of!) To the benefit of their readers, they did not include a picture of a paronychia. #HandSky

Behold! The route for Saturday's Holiday Lights Ride. Our first nighttime ride. #BikeDC

We founded @hillfamilybiking.org to normalize just riding around our neighborhood for fun and for transportation. One of the best things about living on the Hill.

This was one of the most satisfying rides we’ve organized so far.

Oh no, they are here to take over the government.

We need to stop saying “road safety is a shared responsibility.” Highway engineers, automakers, and policymakers have the power to reduce the sky-high number of US crash deaths. Individual road users don't. My latest in @fastcompany.com 🧵 www.fastcompany.com/91233037/who...
