Love when Scott gets talking about trees

Yeah! It's partly the wind you get from the downhill, but the temperature in the canyon feels ten degrees lower than on either side

We've entered that time of year when Switzer Canyon drops down to arctic freeze temps at night and you can't help but let out a high pitched squeal biking through it

Aw thank you Dike!

Now that our last big event for the year is over, and I have incredible friends to thank at @bikesd.bsky.social and SDBC for the success of BikeSD Presents. We tried new things, we tried big things, we brought new people into our work and we had a lot of fun! Here's me looking satisfied as hell

I can't stop smiling from last night. @thewaroncars.bsky.social delivered much-needed encouragement to fight the good fight with Life After Cars, along with tons of laughs and (deserved) dragging of SD car culture. Best part was just watching all the head nods, pops & cheers from such a stoked crowd

I just know Cheryl Hines is having the worst day and that makes me chuckle

Thank you to everyone who came out! My heart is so full 🫶

It's so funny to come across young NIMBYs that know literally nothing about housing complaining about evil "luxury condos" like some gen X hipsters in the 1990s. What condos?? Did you just hear that on TV when you were a kid and thought it sounded cool?

Relic was very good and the line was totally reasonable compared to Rikka or Asa or Izola

Alright San Diego, how many more critically acclaimed, pop-up-turned-brick-n-mortar smash hit bakeries do we have in us? Because these fancy croissants seem to be solely responsible for holding up the entire 5-over-1 retail market in East Village

Pretty wild weekend going out downtown Saturday (YIMBY legislative workshop) then a show Sunday (Life After Cars book tour)

The "War on Cars" is coming to car-centric San Diego "That would be transformative for a place like San Diego or anywhere in Southern California.”

The “War on Cars” is coming to car-centric San Diego

The creators of the "War on Cars" podcast and authors of "Life After Cars" are promoting a vision for San Diego that reduces car dependency. They advocate for alternative transportation, emphasizing i…

Someone replying to a post on Reddit about The War on Cars live event saying, "sounds cool but parking is always a nightmare over there"

Someone replying to a post about The War on Cars live event asking, "will parking be available?"

Lmao these reddit replies

no idea how you'd study this without running into a correlation is not causation problem but i wonder if every extra few minutes you spend driving to the polling place increases the odds you're going to vote for republicans by 1%

Man I hate how much of the view of the downtown is taken up by that massive parking garage at City College lol it's even worse at night when the whole empty garage is lit up

View looking down C Street to downtown San Diego and the San Diego Bay in between the high rise buildings. The sky is gray.

It was eerily calm, warm and clear yesterday ahead of the big storm

San Diego! We’re headed to you next for a LIFE AFTER CARS live event this Sunday at the Adams Avenue Theater. Tickets are still available. See you there!

I'll be there. Really looking forward to this

New Downtown COASTER stop to connect Oceanside and the Gaslamp by 2027 | On the Move A smoother, more direct ride from North County to Downtown San Diego is on the horizon.

Downtown San Diego is getting a new COASTER stop! We're getting through-running, now it's time to move forward with the other two pillars of Electrolink: level boarding and electrification! www.cbs8.com/article/traf...

Society broke down and all, but you really still need to stop at red lights I can't believe we need to explain this one, but it seems that we really do

so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...

Seriously, even the bad drivers I know are complaining about how lawless it's getting out on these streets haha. We're all seeing it

I think state legislation is needed to bring back automated/camera traffic enforcement in SD. At least when I asked the police officers at our community planning group meeting if we could bring it back, that was their explanation. Idk if any local electeds are pushing for it though

Bunch of cops standing around doing nothing with their SUV idling and lights on

Ah, the mystical southern lights seen from San Diego.

This last week was tough but today I biked really fast and coasted and biked really fast on a car-free path that took me to the beach and it made me feel happy

Oh yes I've read it has positive health effects even for those that are rhythmically challenged

Dancing up on bike pedals, doing body rolls, swinging hips and throwing ass, especially on a holiday in the warmth of the sun, is essential to latina health

The weaponization of historic preservation has always been about blocking new homes, but they usually don’t just come out and say it out loud like this

Also love zooming in on that guy's defeated face hahah

wtffff
