The Bergen Bike Bus rides rain or shine during the school year -- we're able to do so because of amazing volunteers 🥰 a big thank you to all of them!

Tomorrow @nycschools.bsky.social are holding a Climate Action Day: Waste, highlighting the need to lessen what's sent to landfills to reduce pollution. So join us (or a #BikeBus route near you) to celebrate this important day. Our tracker goes live at 7:15.

See you in the AM 🌎 Let’s roll!

After hearing your story in @marketplace.org , the current moral is not "The Emperor's New Clothes" but instead "The Emporer's sour grapes" @kairyssdal.bsky.social

How much oil in Venezuela?

Norman Rockwells's painting about Ruby Bridges' walk on Nov. 14, 1960. A small black girl in a white dress and a very cute hair style walking on a sidewalk, surrounded by adults but they are cut off in the view, with racist comments/graffiti on the building walls behind her.

It is 65 years to the date that Ruby Bridges walked to school (yes, I heard the NPR Rockwell story) and just thought the day should be celebrated for many things.

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in the U.S. Advocating safer roads through speed limits, road design, and vehicle enhancements.

I am so very sorry.
I will be at the World Day of Remembrance in NYC on Sunday and will hold up a flower for Seamus. wdor-usa.org

Small rural airports are typically subsidized private jet stops for the wealthy; or even worse, a perk requested by a single congressperson for an easy trip to DC.

Here are a few moments from Wednesday's Bergen #BikeBus ride 🥰

Thank god there is a separate #BikeNYC lane!

That quote was demo'd

Screenshot from a bad Andrew Cuomo ad with a large warning label (to not vote for him)

OMG there is literally a WARNING LABEL on Andrew Cuomo's ads for mayor.

Huge warning label highlights how bad it would be to have Andrew Cuomo as mayor

Just have to say this is the font and graphic of the mandatory warning label.

Manhattan Bridge Bike Path entrance with numerous traffic signs on a pole with a reflective sign at the eye height that says "LIFE AFTER CARS". A citibike is seen traveling through a steady green bike traffic signal.

Good ads say so much #BikeSky @thewaroncars.bsky.social

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

I thought this was Tim Walz arm wrestling with Bari Weiss.

I’d say Judge Goodstein’s recent restraining order against the release of South Carolina voter files to the DOJ is relevant to this story. www.wrdw.com/2025/10/02/j...

The large number of people (+1500) exiting onto a five foot wide sidewalk is somehow completely ignored as a problem.

Hi y'all! Next Wednesday (October 8) is National #WalkRolltoSchoolDay, which celebrates the many benefits & the joy of an active & sustainable trip to school. So join us (or a #BikeBus route near you) to mark this very special day!

FDNY truck putting out fires within contents of waste truck, that has been pulled out across 6th Ave.

Not sure what happened but always proud of #FDNY 6th Ave at West 4th. Definitive burning smell.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Here are a few moments from this morning's Bergen #BikeBus. So great to ride together to school & work for day 3 of #WeekWithoutDriving.

Wishing everyone a happy first day of October! 🍂🍁

And these are the same people scared to death to ride a subway.

Little cars, driving slowly; full of people who aren't simply driving thru.
Basically neighbors that use cars.

Does 3 Rs mean extra CORRUPT?

Breaking: Hit-and-Run Driver Kills Cyclist in Brooklyn - Streetsblog New York City A 32-year-old woman was killed by the driver of a Tesla early on Saturday morning in Brooklyn, police said.

This is a horrible tragedy. Everyone deserves to get home safe in New York City.

There’s no protected bike lane on this street. Mayor Adams has built just a fraction of the protected bike lane miles he's legally required to build.

The result? Dangerous streets like this one.

Cyclists and Pedestrians Can End Up Spending More Each Month Than Drivers They may buy less per visit. But over the course of a month, bikers out-consumed drivers at bars, restaurants and convenience stores.

Studies for over a decade show that cyclists and pedestrian spend more per person than drivers.

Hi y'all! Here are a few moments from our Bergen Bike Brunch ride 🥰 A big thank you to Principles GI Coffee, PS 770 Bike Bus, @coachbalto.bsky.social (of @bikebusworld.bsky.social) & everyone who was able to join us for this special edition ride! 🍩☕

Well then limit the speed within the bike lane.
