Looking back, it’s incredible to believe this was a minority opinion.

I really like Gazelle Bikes (no shade to them) but why does every new cargo bike look like a space ship?

My DOT coworker is having significant car issues and everyone is commiserating except me; I’m trolling them with AAA cost of car ownership stats and electric cargo bike ads.

It’s quite easy to bike in the winter if your local municipality properly plows the infrastructure. My 3.5 mile commute to the outdoor ice rink was the perfect warm up for skating with my nieces and nephews.

If you want to drive in our densest, most transit-rich environments and cause pollution, congestion, and safety hazards, that’s fine, but you’ll have to pay and if that upsets you well so it goes. Drivers have had it their way for a century at the literal expense of everyone.

In the U.S. 52% of all trips are less than three miles, with 28% of trips less than one mile. Of those one mile trips, 60% are by car. Cars are the best fit for some people & trips of 1 mile, but many of those 1 mile trips are done by car because we force car dependency on Americans. 1/2

Looking for food recs in this general area. The more hole-in-the-wall the better and extra bonus points if it’s somewhere I can eat while barefoot.

Roads are “funded” and transit is “subsidized.” Here’s a short thread illustrating the irony 👇

It’s hard to believe we’ll ever solve the last mile problem when we can’t even solve the last flag of sidewalk problem.
