bike check! lemme see ur bikes! reskeet if you wanna see more bikes! i rode my bike on tuesday for miles and it was the longest continuous ride i've gotten to do in months!

In a UK study of bike theft, 25% of people whose bike is stolen give up cycling entirely, and 66% cycle less afterwards. Secure bike parking is hugely important for supporting people to choose cycling. #vc25 @cyclehoop.bsky.social stolen-bikes.co.uk/statistics/

Good morning, bike transportation nerds. ☕

Los Angeles, 2025 📸 afpphoto

Here’s me coming back from a quick grocery shopping run.

Here’s 27 seconds of The Ride of the Fancy Women. You’d be amazed at how riding a bike wearing a fascinator can put you in a wonderful mood. (Video my face as I ride a bike, and I pan up to show the women riding behind me. I’m wearing a black fascinator and a silver sequinned shirt.)

This is Göttingen. That's how you do sustainable transport, Edinburgh. 😍 We're looking forward to the day when Edinburgh looks like this - not least because of all the bike parking!

Winnipeg cyclists build their own bike lane, because the city is taking too long, and declare @thewaroncars.bsky.social

How I look waiting for more people to post bike or train commuting photos on Bluesky:

Life update: I didn't melt. 🚲 🌧️

This month we closed the street in front of our #Montreal school to cars—and now we have a problem! (But it’s a good one.) Everybody’s walking or coming by bike. Which means there’s no room to park the bikes. We’re going to need more racks, fast… 🧵

👉 Cars don't shop, people shop 👈 A national Dutch study on the relationship between spending and visitors’ choice of transportation showed that, on a monthly basis, cyclists and pedestrians contribute about 25% more to total spending in centres than car users. dutchcycling.nl/knowledge/bl...

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river. #TheTruthAboutTraffic

I'm so excited to tell you that my interview with @sgoodyear.bsky.social from @thewaroncars.bsky.social goes live today at 2 PM if you want to join. Thank you Sarah, for encouraging me and believing in me! LFG! youtu.be/kYetmQzgRv8

Finally improved my tattoo design enough to go ahead with it. Time to go find myself some money and an ink artist.

A bike in the city.

Happy World Bicycle day ☺️🚲

Happy World Bicycle Day.

The new murals on the Midtown Greenway are so pretty. 😍 Some day I hope every bridge has a mural.

Posting a lovely new-to-me mural in Uptown for a timeline cleanse

Moms on e-cargo-bikes every time a PBL is built

New cargo bike rental service in Montreal! I was involved a bit in the testing. Super cool concept. Download the app, pay by the half hour, access the bikes at 5 cafes around Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie. The 3-wheeled bikes are easy to get the hang of (just note that the turning radius is large).

The Mrs. biked all over town today running errands. For dinner, she said, “I’m cargo tonight.”

1.33 million journeys daily and growing 📈

This is a particularly good bit of research for the cycling twitter/bsky active travel lot to read plenty of things to consider @rideleicester.bsky.social

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked footage of militant anti-car cyclists in training session.

Paris bike lanes: pretty great!

What happens when you haul a whole community activist brass band along on your #BikeBus? Fun! HONK Bus III is happening Friday June 20! Musicians, check the gigomatic! #CambMa Cargo bike owners & other lovely people, we could use help — forms.gle/4547MdZ5tXE8...

Well done, London #bikesky

I usually post janky trail bridges so here are two nice trail bridges

I am completely new to bikepacking (not entirely new to camping, I just have never loved it, and obviously old hat in bike travel). I am planning some trails that will require me to camp. What advice do you have? What is your must-have gadget? Warnings? Tips? Ideas?

This bike is my favorite bike. What’s yours?

These old people are crazy, I can’t wait to retire and ride bikes, volunteer at a history museum, ride bikes, read books, ride bikes, pet cats, ride bikes, drink beer, ride bikes, go to the hospital, ride bikes, listen to disco, ride bikes, volunteer at the food bank. There’s so many things to do.

"When a trans person does a big public project, people often frame the story around our suffering and perseverance ... I didn’t choose a world bike record for that reason. I did it because I love riding my bike, and making friends, and 'why not do that but bigger' seemed like a pretty fun idea."

Rode our bikes to the new @ncc-ccn.bsky.social Kiweki Point lookout behind the @gallery.ca and it’s a STUNNER. Those views! Such a beautiful addition to our city.

My painting SPRING RIDE

A regular reminder that a thriving modern city depends on giving people the option to walk, or bike, or take the bus. Not cars. Een herinnering dat een bloeiende multimodale stad afhankelijk is van de mogelijkheid voor mensen om te lopen, te fietsen en de bus te nemen. Niet van auto's. Utrecht, NL

Actually, cyclists reduce traffic.
