yesterday my colleagues from @cascade.org and i provided a free bike valet to world cup fans in seattle. we had more than 170 bikes in our corral (and expect even more on friday). when you take people who are just genuinely happy because they’re on bikes and add it to the joy of the world cup,

seattle! please share this info! world cup matches are starting today and things around the stadium will be hectic. for locals wanting to join the fun, getting there by bike is a great option. you can park it for free at our bike corral and we’ll keep it secure.

come see me tomorrow in SoDo and i’ll watch your bike! the corral location is different than what we do for sounders game, so heads up on that! rise your bike downtown and leave it with us while you soak up all the vibes. #bikeseattle #worldcup

i grew up in the 80’s, so concern around concussions was not a thing, but i’ve learned enough now to scratch my head and wonder why someone in “concussion protocol” should be sitting on the sideline in a loud, bright arena. how is that good?

unfortunately, this pretty much confirms that folks who are deeply reliant on AI are not going to be swayed away from using it even if they read this. 🤦🏻‍♀️ so this is just me preaching to the choir, i suppose.

this is high up on my list of proudest bike achievements. what’s that? you don’t have a list of proudest bike achievements? definitely make one. and put every #carryshitolympics escape on it!

with enough bungees and a can-do spirit, #carryshitolympics is alive and well

@mayorofseattle.bsky.social @reignfc.com let’s not have NY be the only ones who can show off their collaboration skills

👏🏼👏🏼 yes, please

quite an amazing thing to be part of last night.

There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want and don't let anyone tell you differently @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

today i fought the good fight of fender installation. i know i need to make some adjustments (read: cut the stays a bit shorter, again), but i am satisfied for today

my folks have been in town and i’ve driven more in 10 days than i usually do in two months. was glad to get on my bike and head to the grocery yesterday.

this is the kind of info we need to see more of!

Cargo bike-pill them from a young age. 🤌

next month i’m flying to see my dad and want to bring my shockstop seatpost for him to try out. what are the chances this goes through TSA without being taken? #bikesky any thoughts or relevant experience out there?

the triple whammy of terrible bike parking: wave rack (hate it) too close to the sidewalk not actually at my destination, home depot, but rather all the way over at the police station. why doesn’t home depot have a place for bikes to park?!

5. Kid: “We should have biking class as an elective.” Me: “oh yeah? Say more.” Kid: “well, not everyone can buy a car when they grow up and we should still know how to get around on our bikes because it’s fun and you learn a lot when you go around to new places” 🚲❤️well.. I’m sold!❤️🚲

📢📢 We're hiring!

This Saturday! In West Seattle.

i got to #volunteerbybike again today using my @ternbicycles.com HSD. this time with A Cleaner Alki to do a community cleanup in my neighborhood. filled up a few bags and hauled in a tire. the collective impact is great to see!

i have (mostly) finished the assembly on a bike i’ve been dreaming of for a few years. yesterday i added the shockstop suspension seatpost and stem. i’ll need to do some fine tuning, but i can already say these were excellent choices! i’m not racing anymore and need to be kinder to my body.

A lengthy line of cars waited to drop off their recycling items. I was able to ride past them and properly dispose of these @graeters.bsky.social coolers (thanks for the ice cream, Mom) and a good bit of documents needing shredding! #cargobikelife

seattle folk: there is a recycle and reuse event today at south seattle college for items that can’t go in your curbside pickup. i’ll be hauling my items by #cargobike stay tuned. www.seattle.gov/utilities/yo...

more bike commuting, fewer sick days….sounds like something to spread around

@shannonthecyclist.bsky.social you hip to this? i feel like you could contribute to this project.

on my ride to work this morning, my front wheel hit a patch of ice and i hit the deck. not good. but on my ride home, i got to experience a portion of the new bike path along seatttle’s waterfront. i’ll skip the cynicism about its design (which is all valid) and just say it was quite nice.

@cascadebicycle.bsky.social welcome to bluesky! glad to have you here! lots of great convos happening here!

this is going to be fantastic! not having to ride side-by-side with semi-trucks is a welcome improvement.

thank goodness this is finally open! my commute to work just improved a wee bit….and i’ll happily take it!

I believe someone has made this for KC Metro routes, anyone know if there’s a tutorial out there?

walking out of the u-district light rail station, i noticed this. i’m thinking @typewriteralley.bsky.social can help me understand what is required of the public space in order to get the building rights. doesn’t seem like much that’s genuinely useful to the public.

i have no kids and have found my short tail cargo bike is the only way i’ll go to costco anymore. (front door parking) it’s perfect for scooping up a side table that was put out at the curb. can haul heavy loads up the hills in seattle for work. and can be parked upright to save space in my home.

hello, seattle, i have an idea for reviving downtown…

the Pedaling Relief Project uses volunteers on bikes to deliver groceries from the food bank to clients at their homes. i love the way we’re using bikes as “last mile delivery” to help our neighbors.

One of the entrances/exits to the world’s largest bike parking garage. #Utrecht

calling all winter bike commuters: what are your hacks for drying out those sweaty riding clothes at the office without grossing-out colleagues? bonus for ideas based on an open office setup.

i rather enjoy the walk from seatac terminal to the light rail station. after several hours on a plane, it’s so nice to move for a bit.

this is exactly the work i’m trying to do in washington. helping organizations to operate bike programs for youth and provide them with bikes so they can experience this independence.

i wonder if my family gets tired of hearing me talk about bikes.

this week i attended the Action Mapping Project Symposium at UW Tacoma. i’m so excited to dive more into this data from tacoma’s youth to learn more about where they feel safe, what routes they avoid, where they hang out, and so much more.

question for #bikesky folks: what helped you become comfortable riding a bike on your own?

can’t stop thinking about the synchronized slide

marta’s work here was exceptional. truly goat level behavior. let’s also take a quick second to appreciate the synchronized (albeit completely missed) slides by the defenders.

is there a way to refresh the feed here without having to automatically jump to the top for the newest posts? call me silly, but i like to scroll up from older to more recents posts (skeets?)
