The fact: The Bike-sharing market is poised to achieve a staggering revenue of US$9.72bn in 2025 worldwide. My reality: The thrill of walking up to a random bike, unhitching it, and taking a small adventure. Long live the bike share.

I'm a Vision Zero Task Force member and regularly check the Complete Streets guideline pages on the Federal DOT site. Today, the page is gone. I know this is part of an overall theme, but my heart truly feels broken. Years of research and progress are lost. This is a truly fatal step backwards.

Bike Bus is my marketing funnel to free parents (mostly mothers) from the horrific kid-chauffeuring trap, help them see their surrounds anew, advocate for bike-friendly infrastructure, and transform America…

I’ve been asked this question in interviews. My answer is always the same. The idea is the same as asking an assault victim if her outfit encouraged a predator in a bar to rape her.

Times are tough right now, but take a deep breath and enjoy this moment of pure joy.

What happens when you create a community of people of all ages that just crave a physical, joyful way to get places? Inclusive urbanism in action.

As much as I am not a fan of cars, I also love seeing people rock these magnets I made. If you’re going to drive a car you might as well be announcing you’d rather be riding a bike. 🧡 #bikebus

The only vehicle that mixes well with people is a bicycle! Choose wisely! #ActiveTravel #MobilityIsEquity #TTMoves
