What short car trips can you replace a few times a week?! My 2 mile bubble includes kids’ schools, grocery, library, coffee, dentist, pediatrician, and more.

@cathytuttle.bsky.social headed to Copenhagen this summer with the family. Have you been?

How to Stay Seen While Biking (Day or Night) youtu.be/b34pgKiB9Cs

Cycling is especially good for people with long-running knee problems or health issues. I've been able to do everything I've wanted to, but a clamor of what-ifs were often in the back of my mind.

When our new mayor agreed to sit down with me and talk infrastructure, I made sure to bring my wife along and let her offer most of the feedback on the current status of our bike network. Leaders don't need to hear from middle-aged dudes on bikes. They need to hear from women, seniors, and kids.

The average American household spends nearly $10,000/year on a car. That includes: • $3,000+ on gas & maintenance • $1,500 on insurance • $4,000–$5,000 in car payments • Plus registration, taxes, parking, and more. (1/2)

It’s sticky out in NC!

Is there a slack or some type of community for bike advocacy nonprofits to talk shop outside of conferences?!

Triangle friends, join me Sunday morning for a Kidical Mass ride here in Chapel Hill!

I've started doing "quick tips" for things I keep seeing pop up on social media. My latest is Tern bike related for many with the folding handlepost: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3w6...

If a 5 year old can't safely ride a bike on your bike lane, then your bike lane is inadequate.

Insta360 X4 Review: 9 Things Cyclists Need to Know youtu.be/sg0LJ1IlEkQ

I want to make a personal request to those of you who use a bike for transportation purposes to start taking more photos and posting them. You can do so much by showing even the most mundane errands with a bike to educate and inspire others. They're often more effective than words. 📸

2 big bags of compost and a bag of mulch by bike. Yes, we have a car, but why drive when it’s more fun and convenient to bike?

Life doesn’t live itself ✌🏼

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Keep showing up for yourself. 530 treadmill date before the kids wake. It’s hard to make this choice as a mom. I could have slept in, but this is about laying the bricks of the human and life I want to live instead of what life makes happen.

Charlotte friends, what are your breakfast recommendations? Coming to town tomorrow for kids’ sports.

Just getting back from a working vacation in the Dominican Republic.

Coffee of the week from @littlewavescoffee.bsky.social littlewaves.coffee/products/ter... What’s yours?

Biking resources. I can’t do much about tariffs, but I can help you rely more on your bike and help your bike parts last longer. What resources do you need to “bike more & worry” less this spring?

someone shared with me a crowdsourced safer bike routes map of LA with me once. I lost the link. If you know what that is, can you dm me the link? Google Maps is useless. Puts me on dangerous roads. I need insider knowledge for K-town to Expo line to get to Ciclavia

Your neighbor wants to get into bike/walk advocacy and ask for your favorite book. What do you loan them? Working on a bike / walk advocacy book club 🙌

What towns are still getting bike/walk infrastructure done in the face of federal funding freezes?

I’ve never been much of a drinker but about a year ago I had a drink out over dinner. I didn’t finish half and biked home thinking, “that’s probably my last drink.” I felt the same tonight about a piece of steak. My body is just done with it 🤷‍♀️

Wearing a helmet into the doctors to show everyone that I biked there (and to prove they need bike racks)

I rode my bike to get a massive grocery haul this morning and then drove our car to the gym this afternoon. Bikes-for-transportation doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing game, especially in North America where it's hard to do so. Do what you can, when you can. 🫡

Who has setup bike valet with their nonprofit? Would love to hear about different setups beyond my own experiences.

Such a cool product!

Love this piece on the magic of riding an e-bike by @elizabethendicott.bsky.social, especially this part about how riding a bicycle can be a gateway to civic engagement. www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

This is why I love cargo e-bikes! Great collab with a local grocer to deliver food to those who need it and reduce waste! youtu.be/95bklAM4wgg

New episode ! We talked with the delightful British journalist and author Laura Laker about her odyssey on the UK's National Cycle Network, what makes good cycling infrastructure, and her work in setting standards for how reporters & cops talk about traffic crashes. thewaroncars.org/2025/03/11/e...

Hey! We're the Minneapolis Cargo Bike Library. This FREE lending library is a community-run partnership between @bikemn.bsky.social, @cyclehoop.bsky.social & the Lyndale Neighborhood Association. Our goal is to expand access to cargo bikes across Minneapolis. Learn more: 1/3

So many friends look at my cargo bike lifestyle as a hero or huge task. Honestly, it’s a cheat code. If it’s safe to bike, it’s typically easier than driving when you have kids. Seriously!

I had to stop and take a picture of this fabulous set up. Professional window washers using cargo bikes to get to their jobs. The guy I spoke with said it used to take him up to 2 hours on buses to get to work. Now it's 47 minutes.
