Bikelash is brewing in Denver. Here’s how you can fight back – and stay resilient To start this blog, I would like to apologize for the lack of writing in the past year. Between the growth of Colorado History Rides, being the Chair of the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Committee…

My latest, a sober assessment of what I see as bikelash in Denver, how to fight back, and a reminder to take breaks if you need them. #bikeden #bikeco

It appears there's another chance to see the aurora borealis over Colorado tonight, but tonight's chance is more conditional for two reasons:

1) Cloud cover may mess it up. Less cloud cover east of Denver.

2) The timing of the next CME. Best chance appears closer to sunset tonight (5-8p).

Mission Ballroom has a box office that is open Mon-Sat 10-6 and Sunday an hour before a concert that you can buy tickets at pretty close to face value! I snagged some tickets to a show later in the fall for only $2 over face value (vs. $17 with Axs). Its also off the Brighton Blvd bikeway! #bikeden

If you know a City County of Denver employee right now, check in on them. Love from a fellow public sector employee

I Should Have Never Investigated the Whistle Massacre – Part 1 Have you ever been to a city where, when you cross the street into a new block, the overall demeanor of the area feels different? For me, that is 18th Street in Rockspring, Illinois I am a local hi…

Some of my original short horror. Hope yall enjoy!

On a related note to my last post: does anyone have any suburban horror theyd recommend? Not just movies in the suburbs aka most slashers, but movies where the suburbs are the driver of the horror? I can think of is Vivarium, which I struggled to get thru, or Get Out, which i love. #horror #movies

Being in the room and speaking to eliminate parking minimums was something else.
Congrats to Denver City council for repealing parking minimums! #copolitics

Been using a cane to get around recently due to a minor sprain and, yeah, Denver Does Deserve Sidewalks
(Seen around Hale Parkway and Ash)

2:32p: Looks like a gusty downpour and some rumbles of thunder near Broomfield and near Castle Rock…gonna be like this for the next few hours.

Brief downpour, gusty winds, and lightning the main threats this afternoon.

It always sucks when a recipe calls for 4 cloves of garlic but you only have 7 cloves and not the required 10 cloves #italianmath

Watched The Bay(2012) for the first time. Pretty decent found footage horror for about 80% of the movie. The thirds act kind of suffers from the issues most FF suffers where it kinda goes off the rails. Would give it a 7.5/10

Watched the newest I Know What You Did Last Summer in a pre screener last night. Short of it is it is a love letter to the first 2 movies that likely wont resonate a ton outside of the fandom but is a good time.

#2525 – We love LA, Deliveristas, Zohran for Bikes NYC, and Picture Main Street - Bike Talk At the virtual Bicycle Film Festival, Taylor sees a woman set a new record of riding a bike at 183 mph (0:22). Nick visits Los Angeles, runs into a Hollywood ride out, and meets bike dancer Denis (4:4...

We Love LA, Zohran loves bikes, Denver and NYC save their protected bike lanes, while bike lane opponents like those in Queens and Northampton seem only to care about parking. biketalk.org/2025/06/2525... @lorenhansen.bsky.social @misernyc.bsky.social @workersjusticep.bsky.social

A few from Denver's Bike to Work Day 2025

Happy Bike to Work Day for those who celebrate. Or for me, Bike to work Gay

About | Fems & Thems Denver Biking Fems & Thems is a Denver based biking group for female and nonbinary riders. Social bike rides every month!

This is a beautifully inspiring video from Fems and Thems about the challenges, empowerment, connections and joys of biking as a female or non-binary rider. While my included videos illustrate the challenges, the overwhelming benefits are what keep me riding.

They Burn The Following Journal was found at 1835 Oak Street Apt 107 in Boulder, Colorado. It is partially Burnt. I hadn’t been getting sleep over the past couple weeks, and the Banner ad on the Daily Camera…

Here's some horror writing I did recently that was featured in a local horror zine. Let me know what y'all think

When snow piles up on 1st over by the country club on the Cherry Creek Trail, it unintentionally reveals how much more the path could be conceivably widened.

Unfriended: Dark Web punches way above what a sequel to a horror movie shot on Skype about a deceased facebook friend should do. My suspension of disbelief did come into play when the protagonist was balancing his laptop while riding a bicycle, but otherwise its a passavle movie. 5/10

Ride transit for free on Feb 4th! Transit Equity Day is observed on Rosa Parks’ birthday and recognizes that equal access to public transportation is a civil right and a means for individuals to connect to employment, educational, healthcare and social opportunities.

Euro fairly consistent with a snowy Saturday around Denver, with 2-5" looking likely. Most of that snow probably falls during the first half of the day.

Northern mountains likely to get a solid 6-16"+ storm this weekend, most of which probably falls on Saturday.
