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."

It's a gorgeous exhibit that's transformed Grand Central Station. See it before 10/19!

This 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!

This 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.
