Was planning to meet a friend for a walk after dropping the first graders at school but my two year old woke up with a fever. Not to worry! I packed the stroller and we walked the cultural trail in the cool of the morning with a little one along.

Tired of sky-high infrastructure costs? Shrink the asphalt, add greenery, and give people more ways to move. It’s cheaper, safer, and your city looks like it cares about people instead of just cars.

I actually would not recommend Indianapolis Bike Party for the average kid, but if your child is already a bike commuter and knows what it means to ride both predictably and responsively, it can be a fun experience to ride with a big group, at least before people get too inebriated. 🧵

I was today years old when @williamhazen.bsky.social taught me there’s a better map app! Transit has a friendly user interface and lots of inclusive options! You can specify your biking and walking speeds so e-bike users can see if bus or pedelec is faster. And they know where new infrastructure is!

Find mom friends who will let you pop their three-year-old into your cargo bike and roll with your first graders.

Let’s say you need to buy snacks, take them to the soccer game, head home to wrap a gift, then transport it to a birthday party ~three miles away, and pick up dinner, all with three daughters in tow. Do you drive? Today, I got to say NO!

Thomas Midgley Jr. invented leaded gasoline and pushed for the use in cars to prevent a knocking in the engine. Leaded gasoline was an environmental disaster, as increased lead levels have a huge negative impact on developing children - especially with regards to aggression.

Clare Patterson computed the age of the earth ( ~4.5 billion years) using lead isotopic ratios, but lead contamination was showing up EVERYWHERE. Ice core samples from Greenland and Antarctica revealed a sudden increase in lead levels coinciding with the introduction of tetraethyl lead in gasoline.

Counting on your fingers is hard, going grocery shopping by cargo bike is not.

Could you pull over a van with six kids to enjoy an excavator at work on a quiet riverside trail? I didn’t think so.

When the sirens started going off, we scooped up our sleeping children and trundled them down to the basement, three of us snuggling together in the guest bed and two of the family bedded down in the playroom.

Weekly reminder that it is possible for a family of five to do their grocery shopping by bike. Final count was eight bags: strawberries, grapes, bananas, yogurt, cheese, two loaves of bread, pasta, cereal, burrito fixings, and more!

So THIS intersection where a cyclist was just hit is exactly where the city has chosen for the Eagle Creek Trail to cross Crawfordsville Rd. They could have safely gone under Crawfordsville Rd a few blocks west at the Eagle Creek bridge but neighbors opposed it. bsky.app/profile/paul...

Once I bought a chintzy souvenir that did likewise.

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

Gentle reminder that the quaint European pedestrian streets filling your Instagram feed were very recently just as fucked up and full of cars as most American ones. But they did something about it.
