Reported the overgrown branches to @cityofsaintpaul.bsky.social and waited a month for them to do anything about it, finally just cut them back myself to stop getting hit in the face with branches. Hit up the whole downtown Capital City Bikeway and cleared encroaching branches.

so between this and the rescission of unspent grants that Congress had delegated to bike lanes and greenway projects, this admin's just waging an all-out war on bikes?

🚨 ACTION ALERT: Secretary Duffy’s DOT says bike lanes are “not in the public interest” – and is canceling hundreds of millions in grants for biking, walking, and trail projects nationwide. Take action: bikeleague.org/action-center

Livability like this doesn't get enabled through white paint and narrow bike gutters.

I would love to see a count like this for Bryant Ave S and 40th St. There are SO many people biking during commute times, including LOTS of cargo bikes w/ kid passengers and some very cool upper elem/middle schoolers biking alone to/from school.

Damn Eagan, not even a ped or bike detour in site.

On Friday Oct 10 we are hosting ANOTHER DJ Bike ride in Saint Paul, from Lowertown Bike Shop! This event coincides with the Fall Art Crawl! Come down and dance along the river! 10/10 6pm Lowertown Bike Shop! www.movemn.org/event/glow-g... @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social @moveminnesota.bsky.social

Quality public transportation opens up so many possibilities and combinations that so many people who've never had the option wouldn't be able to conceive of.

Increased security at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History #ASALH due to illegal recording aimed at discrediting the org that Carter G Woodson founded 110 years ago. Last week the website was targeted. Donate @asalh-bhm.bsky.social

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

This should be a must-read for any journalist covering transportation issues or any politician considering e-bike regulations

We deserve a #LivableLyndale and we have to raise enough noise to have that be a reality. Please sign. www.movemn.org/action/lynda...

Among many many other problems with this, denying service to anyone who is not a driver is ableist. We're sure this is not the intention or desire of this bank but is yet another example of the ways that autonormativity harms our communities.

If you include OEM frames this is, well, all of the bikes. I wouldn’t exclude the possibility they are indeed using debt peonage labor, but I do not think this is why they’re doing it - combo of shaking down Taiwan and culture war stuff.

Stop every campaign/effort telling people on bicycles/pedestrians and anyone outside the car how to be safe and divert ALL resources to remove every opportunity for drivers to be dangerous.

As bad as import problems have been for the bike industry lately, this is one case where I think we do need to ask and expect more of these large corporations.

Did you know? People can & do ride bikes to medical appointments (when it’s safe to do so, when density makes the trips reasonable in length & when there’s places to park bikes). Forced car dependency isn’t great for any of us.

the bike industry has been against the grindstone even before all of the tariffs, for some shops this is gonna be a death knell

#WeekWithoutDriving starts Monday! "Choosing to walk, bike or take transit can offer a new perspective and support the city's greenhouse gas reduction goals." 🙌 www.postbulletin.com/news/local/r...

I think a lot of people's anger and anxieties could be calmed by more face to face time with nature, away from the rat race and sterilized grind. Imagine if we made that easier to do.

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

The city ( @minneapolismn.gov) has a bike detour set up on 28th St due to the Nicollet ramp closure to/from the Grewnway. It is VERY bad & made worse with city vehicles parking in it! I already submitted a ticket and it was closed saying they’re allowed to do this. I… can’t believe that’s true.

You should ride your bike to work in the shoulder seasons.

Why don’t car commercials show you the true driver experience??? Because then they would have to sell you this. This is what “freedom” looks like.

Happy Bisexual Visibility Day to all the bisexuals who did not get raptured.

If my elected representative told the newspaper they purposefully only lived the legal minimum amount of days in our neighborhood, but really they wanted to live someplace else - I would not trust or vote for that person.

It's World Car-Free Day! 🎉 Huge thanks to everyone who came to our event last Wednesday and pledged for a car-free trip this September. If you haven't yet, there's still time: www.carfreemsp.com

Car Free Day isn’t about shaming drivers. It’s about making space for everyone to move safely, especially those of us who were never part of the blueprint. Let’s build streets that don’t require wealth, health, or luck to use. —Andrea Guelph’s first Bicycle Mayor Human infrastructure in motion

Happy Car Free Day! I'm thankful that at least in the St. Paul-Mpls metro and where my housing, employment, family, friends, and fun are is mostly accessible without having to drive or be driven in a car except ~2-3x/month. 1/

This is truly insane. The definition of "disappearing people"

MPX continues Severe Thunderstorm Warning [wind: <50 MPH (RADAR INDICATED), hail: 1.25 IN (OBSERVED)] for Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey [MN] till 10:00 PM CDT Link

This is illegal, unsafe and very antisocial behavior (parking in a curb protected bikelane AND keeping the door open to fully block the lane). Do better, USPS.

If it fits, I sits… unsafely & illegally blocking a 2 way protected bikelane, pushing westbound bike traffic into oncoming car traffic. The entire other side of the street (where the driver was walking to make the delivery to) has free & available curbside parking.

I'm riding my bike to Dayfunk and possibly Communion for my house and techno fix.

🚨There is officially no emergency bike ride tonight. But that doesn't mean you can't ride without me. See you next time.

This is part of why I prefer to take the Amtrak instead of flying whenever possible.

It’s basic. When a head of state punishes comedians for making fun of him, it’s authoritarianism and severely undermines democracy. The leader fears public criticism and is willing to use state power to silence dissent, eroding key democratic principles such as freedom of speech.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

"A permanent fence will be put up by the Minnesota Department of Transportation later this week, according to Ally Peters, spokesperson for Mayor Jacob Frey." www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... This mayor continues to ignore actual soutions, we have a better choice here y'all #DontRankFrey

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.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Drivers will pull up to a fairly full parking lot and see a bunch of cars and go 🙄😩😡 I pull up to a bike rack with some other bikes locked up and have the opposite reaction. I feel, hey cool my bike will probably be safer here and there’s other cyclists here so… cool

Every time a city prioritizes non-car travel, pedestrianizes thoroughfares, expands transit, improves bike networks, implements congestion pricing or creates new public spaces, that city becomes better. It’s not a war on cars. It’s an effort to make cities better & more livable.

Friends if an autistic person is telling you something is a bad idea and can roll out the reasons based on pattern recognition, you should probably listen, or at least investigate said reasons. The cassandra syndrome is fuckin real these days.

As I wrote in my previous update, evictions and fences are not strategies. They are not solutions. They ignore the humanity and needs of unhoused residents. 16/

This is part of why I don't want to move out of Minnesota and why I really enjoy taking vacations here.

Tired of being stuck in #traffic? If you live in one of the many parts of #edmonton that's under construction, you might be really frustrated right now. There are alternative options to being traffic. Just take a look outside the windshield. #yegbike #bikelife #yegtraffic
