Freedom from gridlock, traffic stress, crazy expensive car payments, ever increasing insurance premiums, and you can cancel your gym membership while you're at it.

Affordable daily transportation that spreads joy instead of fumes.

It's very annoying to me that so many of the, "Why don't kids go outside anymore?" type stories never grapple with cars, so I'm really happy to see this. Also happy to see @lauragmitchell.com featured!

Crime is up in Paris and the streets are dangerous! Just as soon as I had stepped out of the Champs Elysee metro a group of youth cycled down the street drinking alcohol and one of them popped a wheelie!

Wow! All records broken today, 26 riders in 4 groups. We rode over to Ditton Park & enjoyed the lovely new, well signposted, cycle paths that they’ve got over on Slough. Next week we’re off to Ascot for our Level 3 ride. Let’s hope we can find some paths…

This evening I saw two drivers in a row subvert the diverter in the fancy β€œDutch style” intersection at Dexter and Thomas by driving in the crosswalk/crossbike. God, I am tired. What can we do, @seattledot.bsky.social?

This photo of two very different group rides passing and exchanging high fives captures two things I love about the Midtown Greenway:

1) it’s used in all weather (this was a chilly April day)
2) it’s accessible and loved by all kinds of people
