My new favorite thing is having people ask me about my cargo bike. Yesterday I could see the wheels turning in the inquisitor’s mind — clearly picturing all the things he could do on a bike like this. #cargobike (still a lot of swearing about the prevalence of wave racks in Tempe)

Sometimes I'm commuting and some person on an e-bike passes me and will sheepishly apologize for "cheating" and I'm like, look around, we are surrounded by a crawling ocean of miserable people driving short distances in 5000 pound SUVs, you are winning not cheating.

When you’re in a really big hurry to pass a cyclist in your 8,000lb vehicle—especially a kid—spare a thought for my friend D, who met a driver in a hurry 30 years ago and has lived with a traumatic brain injury ever since. Could you live with causing that, or worse? #BikeBus

I kind of resent that this is “passport Barbie”, flying to the Netherlands to bike because America isn’t a place for biking.

NEW: Every Tempe elected official should see this polling. 58% of AZ voters support new apartments near them to bring down housing costs. NIMBY voices are loudest at city hall, but voters want new homes built. It's time for local electeds to take note. tempeyimby.org/2025/03/13/v...

Going against the norms of a society can be difficult, but very fulfilling when it becomes a way of life. You will turn heads and whether you ever know it or not, you get people thinking.

Last year, the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology introduced the 'Infuuts', a special bike for children attached to tubes and IVs. Due to all reactions the bicycle is now produced on a larger scale for use by other hospitals at home and abroad. 👌🏼 🚲 🥰 @themaximacenter.bsky.social

In my first piece for @theguardian.com, I told the story about how a Portlander used social media to spark a movement that’s sweeping the nation… and why a similar movement in Portland over a decade prior didn’t have the same reach.

The Reddit community "50501" is organizing protests across all 50 states. Online outrage isn’t enough, we need people on the ground to help restore our democracy. If you're ready to push back and be part of real action, this is where plans are coming together. 👇

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Far right-wing forces have long argued that government doesn’t work. They routinely provide irrefutable evidence that government doesn’t work when we foolishly give THEM control over it.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
