“…if you want a livable city you put the pedestrians and the bicyclists in the central areas. You put them in the best squares and the best roads. That shows the priority and the future view of traffic in the city.” 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Lawmaker, husband ride e-bike to, and from, baby’s delivery Rep. Katie Jones, a Minneapolis Democrat, and her husband, Peter Schmitt, pedaled to the hospital before and after their son was born.

State Rep @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social brought her newborn home from the hospital by cargo bike — made possible by years of investment in protected bike infrastructure.

When we build for ALL ages & abilities, we make the best transportation choices the easiest choices.

What a story to tell someday!

Fight for pedestrian safety!

Jumping spiders are the cutest 🥰

The sponsor keeps saying this won’t ban e-bikes but it WILL allow cities or TDOT to restrict e-bikes on any street they decide it’s necessary. Meanwhile, a separate bill passed that stripped local authority to restrict delivery robots on bike lanes + sidewalks

More rights for robots than e-bikers

An open two way cycle track

Two MNPD vehicles illegally parked in the two way cycle track

The good news is the Davidson bikeway is back open across the railroad tracks!

The bad news is two MNPD vehicles are parked in it for no reason next to literal acres of wide open parking lots

We will be sharing ways you can help us demand Estephany's release soon 🙏🏼 for now, please share this GoFundMe her husband has started: www.gofundme.com/f/prayers-an...

Text explaining how there isn’t a war on cars, with all the benefits of reallocating street space to move a lot more people with a lot less space and other consequences, including life and death, pollution/emissions, public and personal costs, etc. Providing more choices works better for everyone, including drivers. And more transportation choices support the economic competitiveness of cities, as smart cities know.

I’m not a fan of politicians trying to make people angry for votes by claiming there actually IS a “war on cars” (there isn’t — if anything there’s been a war on every OTHER way of getting around since the 1960s).

A politician just made the claim on LinkedIn. Here’s the reply I posted. #UrbanTruth

A headset attachment on a cargo bike

It came on the bike so I'm not sure of its origins but here's a closer picture! It's pretty useful as a headlight mount

What they don't tell you is that there are a ton of possible warrants for stop signs, including "engineering judgment." So they could do it basically anywhere they decided to.

Current cross section on Woodland Bridge. It’s for a maintenance project but imagine this as a bikeway and protected sidewalk. Turn the third travel lane into a flex lane like JRP. We’d be cookin’

The culture change here is committing to investing the time and resources that will ensure the city is accessible to all residents regardless of the weather

On the 56 headed to the State Capitol for SB2205 and the state resolution opposing the Tesla Tunnels.

33 of us on board. It would take anywhere from 11-33 underground Teslas to handle the capacity of this 40 foot bus.

"Also they forgot to include NACTO"

It’s a geek tragedy.

Congrats to D5 resident @themanaen.bsky.social on appointment to the Traffic and Parking Commission!

And apologies to the viewing audience for my hair

I'm the barrel in the middle of the bike lane wondering why I'm here and if there's somewhere better I should be

Thanks I did too. Not looking forward to taking kids into oncoming traffic in the morning

Kids know what they are doing

CONGRATULATIONS @themanaen.bsky.social

✅ We both needed to ship a package.

✅ Customer parking is customer parking.

It did not look good or quick to fix

Barrels and caution tape across the Davidson St bikeway

Also apparently Davidson is closed
