A driver, a cyclist, and a pedestrian show up at a party. They find a plate with 10 cookies. The driver immediately grabs 9 cookies. He then turns to the pedestrian and says, "You better watch out, that cyclist is going to steal your cookie!”

Shoutout to the No Kings protesters I came across in Boonville, MO yesterday! ✊🇺🇸

Many parents are now are forgoing minivans for greener alternatives: cargo bikes. They have been around for decades, but the advent of the electric bike motor has made them much more popular. n.pr/3WJyZn9

A Kansas City mother who witnessed the crash that killed Ingels Elementary third-grader Hazen Workman-Duffy shares details of the moments after the crash when she and her husband tried to help.

Another victim-blaming campaign from a state DOT instead of investing in safer infrastructure that slows down car drivers.

London is proud to host Japan's Grand Sumo Tournament this week - it's fantastic to see the the teams using our cycling infrastructure to get around.

“Mounting evidence shows cities designed for and by women take a more intersectional approach. At the same time, these measures are shown to contribute to more vibrant and flourishing places, focused on more inviting walking, cycling, and public transport and spaces.” www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

I have started submitting bike racks to Google maps and it looks like a lot of people are seeing them. You too can submit them. While they might not show up on the map, searching bike racks near me if you are in the river market area will pull them up!

Tyler Childers live!

3 trains a day won’t be a enough for the World Cup, but this is still an important improvement. www.kcur.org/housing-deve...

Independence police looking for driver of red sedan who knows what she did 🤬 "Sofia said she feels somewhat like Wonder Woman after surviving the crash, but emphasized that children shouldn’t have to be superheroes to ride their bikes safely in their neighborhoods." www.kctv5.com/2025/10/08/i...

Garbage at The Midland. Shirley Manson’s voice is still 💯. Starcrawler was a phenomenal opener. Sadly they announced this is likely their last big US tour due to the new economic reality of the US live music industry.

Overland Park area folks - OP might be joining the regional bike share system. There is an important City Council meeting Wednesday evening. OP residents are needed to email the committee AND show up in person to express support!! bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/10...

New addition to the office library 🤖

House of Guinness on Netflix is 🔥 especially the soundtrack of modern Irish artists like Kneecap and Fontaines DC.

Left the bike at home last weekend for a kayak camping trip on a sandbar in the Kansas River. 🛶⛺

This week is The Week Without Driving. That can be challenging in KC, but could you replace one or two car trips with walking, biking, or public transit? Every little bit helps! bikewalkkc.org/events/week-...

First thing @npr.org did this morning is repost that horrible victim-blaming dumpster fire about bike/pedestrian safety.

Working on the NPR Remix right now.

So, 2/3rds did not use the bus. How many used cars? ‘Around that time, Albuquerque police undertook a sting operation around shoplifting in Albuquerque called “Operation Sticky Fingers” and found that “ten of the 31 people arrested used a city bus.”’ www.nationalreview.com/2025/09/take...

A small but growing movement has sprung up in Nashville that is radical in its simplicity: People are building wooden benches and placing them at bus stops where there is no other place to sit. nashvillebanner.com/2025/09/22/g...

For years this section of cycle track sat unfinished (paint-only) because the rich homeowners there opposed the ugly plastic flexposts used elsewhere. OK, message received 😂

not complicated. a back to school PSA w/ @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

This victim-blaming 🗑️ from @npr.org is terribly disappointing & empirically inaccurate. This should have been “8 tips for car drivers to stop killing people who are walking & biking”. Journalism needs our support more than ever, but we need them to do better more than ever.

Before (2011) / After (2023) the bike path built in 2019 along the departmental road in Pornic, Loire-Atlantique.

If your not willing to give up car lanes for bus lanes your equity is performative

My folks live on a farm and are retired. My mom recently got an e-bike. She rode into town today to play cards with friends and called me when she got home. I can’t remember hearing her as genuinely happy as she was today. Blue sky, sun, and a bike ride. Magic.

BikeWalkKC is helping several school communities join the #BikeBus movement, KC Public School's Hale Cook Elementary in Waldo is the first to roll! Thanks to @coachbalto.bsky.social for the inspiration!! bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/09...

There is a huge moral panic from boomers about ebikes and scooters right now

Local news bias caused by auto dealer advertising has been studied and is real. Local news coverage of auto safety issues and vehicle recalls was softened by auto advertising. National Bureau of Economic Research paper: www.nber.org/system/files...

Police looking for driver of 2016 red Hyundai Sonata who hit Dr. Das at 39/Gillham, 8pm on Wed. Sept. 14th. He was a fixture of Little Rock's bike community b4 moving to KC & Children's Mercy recently. He was on his way home from work when he was hit & left for dead. www.kctv5.com/2025/09/24/s...

Why your next car should be an electric cargo bike

New MicroMobility Study Shows ‘The Cars Are Going to Be Alright,' with bicycle infrastructure growth. momentummag.com/micromobilit...

Slower speeds save lives: "...there were 2,638 people injured, including deaths, on low-speed roads in the most recent 18 months, compared with 3,520 injuries between April 2022 and September 2023, a reduction of 25%."

More progress on the Rockhill Road cycle track. This is the barrier going in at the curve on 45th

Funding for at least 13 competitive federal transportation programs is set to expire Sept. 30 — which means that communities that completed arduous applications and won hard-earned grants as many as three years ago might not actually get their money.

Thanks again Dolly for the Moderna booster! 💉

Generational turnover is allowing some KC development conversations to be less reactionary and more rational

If you didn't catch Week Without Driving founder Anna Zivarts IRL in Como in April, the fine folks at Local Motion are hosting her for a webinar on Monday. Highly encouraged for anyone planning or participating in 2025 Missouri Week Without Driving events. secure.everyaction.com/k_RSzLtitEaq...
