A lot of people who told me my $14k cargo e-bike was expensive and impractical really want me to have sympathy for them that they’re spending a lot on gas for their $50k SUV right now

Still out here getting groceries by bike every week. I’m pretty sure this is more enjoyable than fighting traffic on I-5 but I wouldn’t know because I haven’t driven in years.

I get unreasonably excited when I come out from the grocery store and see another cargo bike on the rack next to mine.

The Elliott Bay Trail is back open with no bridge, and two days ahead of schedule! I happened to ride up just as they were removing the barrier so I got to be the third person to ride across it, I made sure to thank the workers! Looking forward to the @bestsidecycling.com video

I’m still just out here getting my groceries on the cargo bike

This is a sensory nightmare

Ok sign, if you say so

Yesterday I rode my cargo bike to Ikea in Renton from my house in north Seattle. Protected lanes and nature paths literally the entire way. It was so easy, I’m very impressed.

After moving the rest of my stuff from Portland to Seattle I thought it would be fun to just ride my cargo bike 200 miles to my new house. What could possibly go wrong? A story in four pictures.

Today I used my cargo bike to haul two big (and heavy!) loads of stuff to the donation center.

Yesterday I used my cargo bike to take a broken ice maker to the recycling center on the other side of town. I forgot to take a picture of it with the cover off so you’ll just have to trust me that there’s an ice maker in there.

Spotted this unique bamboo bike while walking back from lunch today. I couldn’t tell if it was real bamboo or not just by looking but it’s cool looking regardless.

I just made my final student loan payment and I’m officially debt-free for the first time as an adult. I’d be crying tears of joy if I weren’t so exhausted. If they forgave student loans tomorrow and I got nothing I’d still support it, those loans are predatory.

It’s my birthday today and I spent it doing one of my favorite things - taking my good girl for a bike ride.

I saw this very cool looking cargo bike at the farmer’s market today. I’ve never seen this brand before, the frame is so unique, it looks like only the rear wheel pivots so you end up steering from the back.

Our rating systems need an overhaul. A vehicle’s safety score shouldn’t ignore the harm it inflicts on those outside of it. Death and destruction caused by reckless design should be factored into its overall rating.

VR games are making a comeback in my household right now because it’s a great time to be in another universe.

If somebody has more cars than they have parking spaces for on their property, I'm not sure why I should be paying taxes to give them a parking spot on the street in front of their house.

I love seeing a well used cargo bike outside a shop as I walk in

In 2025 we’re making huge strides in the “dogs biking mail to the post office” department

New to the farmer’s market this week is a guy who announces himself as “Jimmy the rock guy” who sits near an assortment of his rocks and asks you to come look at his rocks. He doesn’t charge to look and they’re not for sale, he’s just Jimmy the rock guy and he wants you to look at his rocks.

This has happened to me several times and it’s infuriating Me: Hey Siri bedroom lights 1% Siri: How bright? Me: 1% Siri: Which room? Me: Bedroom Every light in the house gets set to 100% How do you mess it up that badly?

Went to the PSU farmer’s market this morning and then a little run through Forest Park up to Pittock mansion and back.

Portland’s Forest Park is a crazy beautiful place.

Took the MAX out to the zoo today and ran through forest park and downtown until I hit the Rose Quarter to take the MAX back home. 10/10 would run again.

Testing out a magnetic latch design I made for my new project. It has a satisfying feel but the design has a flaw that makes the hold too weak so I’m working on a new iteration that changes the lever design.

Hi Bluesky, I like riding bikes and making things like the Bike Fun app. I’m making a new cool thing and I need a place to post about it, so stay tuned. For now, enjoy my dog riding in the cargo bike and being a very good girl.
