Shirt I illustrated for @hudcostreets.org is out in the wild, and I love how it turned out. So many of us in Hudson County rely on NJ Transit, PATH trains, and our bikes to get around. We're one of the most densely populated places in the U.S., and our transportation infrastructure ain't cutting it.

Jersey City is considering lowering the speed limit from 25mph to 20mph. The evidence is strong that Twenty is Plenty. When Seattle lowered their speed limit from 25mph to 20mph injury crashes decreased by 17%: www.iihs.org/news/detail/...

Beyonce's cycling thoughts:
"I was able to get around Dublin because by the time anybody noticed me, I was gone. People just said 'hello' and gave me peace and I just felt so free - it was one of the best memories of my life."

The Trump administration is once again seeking to meddle with our streets to make buses slower, worsen congestion and pollute our air.

NYC judges have an extremely accurate statistical instrument to help them decide whether to release someone before their trial. But a new study finds that judges often disregard those release recommendations, especially for Black defendants.

Morning Spew for Night Owls—Trump-supporting billionaire Bill Ackman has dumped an additional $1 million into a super PAC created to defeat Mamdani's bid for NYC mayor, and he's not the only billionaire making a last-minute donation to stop the democratic socialist.

Someone tell that to Gov. Murphy about widening the NJ Turnpike.

On Sunday, I visited DEAR NEW YORK, Brandon Stanton's "love letter" to the city he's been documenting for years as "Humans of New York" for their family reception with student artists.
It's a gorgeous exhibit that's transformed Grand Central Station. See it before 10/19!

This Friday 10/10 is our LAST scheduled Light-Up Ride of 2025, so don’t miss it! Meets 6:00 pm at Grove PATH Plaza, rolls 6:30. Route TBA, but definitely shorter and easier than last month’s Bayonne Bridge adventure! Free, social pace, just show up with your bike, ready to ride.
06.10.2025 23:02 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 1This is perfect for a city like Jersey City. If we could make our neighborhoods truly safe for pedestrians and cyclists, we wouldn't need to rely on cars so much. Imagine getting to school or to the PATH station or to the bus this comfortably!
06.10.2025 16:23 — 👍 13 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0This is the main issue I have with so much of the coverage around e-bikes. It's not that there aren't legitimate issues. But there is a panic around e-bikes and crickets regarding the daily toll of cars. And that's because the harm of cars is just accepted. It's baked into our society.
