A big "THANK YOU" to my friends and family who donated to my own personal fundraiser to #BikeEasy for #GiveNOLADay! I HATE begging for dollars, but I wanted to do well in my first year on the Board of Directors, and sure enough, I surpassed my Board Member goal of $250. More details coming.

As we ramp up today's #GiveNOLADay activities, I made a video of the 2024 annual report by #BikeEasy to underscore the organization's invaluable role in promoting mobility and safety in New Orleans. Worth a watch, given the crashes and fatalities we've seen in 2025. (Donation link in comments.)

Road and track cyclist Tillie Anderson (1875-1965) outpaced the best of the best on the wheel, with times that are still impressive today. Tillie was 20 years old when the League of American Wheelmen recognized her as the best woman cyclist in the world.

The timing couldn't be much better. I joined in on my first Critical Mass NOLA (or Masse Critique NOLA) #bikeride a day after the latest episode of the @activetowns podcast interview with Cyprine Odada Mitchell, formerly of #CriticalMassNairobi. Look for Active Towns anywhere podcasts are provided.

As a Board member of #BikeEasy, I've tried to help increase and improve messaging, which this week included parlaying their 2024 year in review report into a video. How else can organizations promote their year-end work? Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU3x...

Pretty funny waking up this morning to seeing couples across New Orleans claiming credit for passage of the sheriff's millage renewal. (Raises hand.) Not a complaint. #everyvotecounts

Happy Sort of Locals Day at #JazzFest Adjacent, y’all. Faith and I got a chance to bike around the Fairgrounds area and catch the vibes, say hi to Fred Neal Jr. (who bequeathed awesome beer from Gulfport), and chill out at Santa Fe. Love her old neighborhood.

Thanks to everyone who has donate so far for my support of #BikeEasy leading up to #GiveNOLADay! I'm less than $60 away from my personal goal of $250 for an organization still gamely coming out of a post-Covid budget funk impacting so many others. Please consider donating here: bit.ly/4jExmRI

On a day where seemingly everything was happening everywhere in the city, and with limited support, the 2nd annual Not-So-Easy Bike Easy Scavenger Hunt was a great success! That’s due in part to these two Boss Ladies, Executive Director Allene La Spina and Board Chair Elyse Bejasa.
