‘we are just a bunch of places to drive and park’

It’s not too late! While MnDOT has removed the boulevard option, we’re still years away from the rebuild of I-94. This is a setback, but we will not stop fighting for Twin Cities Boulevard. A better future is possible! Learn more: www.ourstreetsmn.org/2024/12/20/m...

Civilized Cycles’ semi trike. So cool to see the future of freight powered by e-bikes at @bikemn.bsky.social ‘s E-bike Policy Summit!!!!! can confirm this flatbed holds at least 8 e-bike dorks.

If a road is wide enough and fast enough to allow this, it has NO business being anywhere near a school. This year at the legislature, we're pushing to Surround Our Schools in Safety. 15mph school zones as the Statewide Design Standard. www.mankatofreepress.com/news/local_n...

this year ive been doing a LOT of doctor and have learned a lot about medical care options, including that YOU CAN ASK FOR A SMALLER SPECULUM. further proof of my theory that the dr's office should be like a denny's. i want a MENU with pictures of all my options. www.self.com/story/obgyn-...

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

is it gauche to post yt videos here? cause 'big minge energy' seems worth a share: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO5G...

local access gremlin PSA: adding alt text takes 30 seconds and is super cool.

Every year, my cycling goal is not to be hit by a driver operating a motor vehicle.

we should be keeping a close eye on what happens in ontario because something tells me we might see things like this closer to home in the next four years. and even if not, it sure is good information www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

so i guess the future WAS female all fetuses (fetusi?) "belong to the sex that produce the large cell" how frightening that the party of small government can decide who and what you are www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

honor your grief take your medicine recharge and prepare we still have each other.

to say im fan girling over Anna is an understatement. i had a call with her and was like, "i love disability rights too, you good book, BIKES". So pumped that she'll be in MN for a few days in feb. here is one of the events we got cookin with her.

Normalize not rushing through intersections as a pedestrian to assuage some weird belief that you're an inconvenience to cars

federal gov't taking comments on a bill that would eliminate subminimum wages programs for businesses working with disabled folks. subminimum wages are cruel and archaic and GOTTA GO. disabled folks deserve fair and living wages. Comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The secret to a better city that gets cars off the road and reduces pollution? Even bolster economic mobility? E-bikes. As @clivethompson.bsky.social reports, they're proving so transformative that places like Denver are literally giving them away.
