Climate Week, but maybe the real decarbonization was the solar-powered cargo bikes we rode through Manhattan along the way. #ClimateWeekNYC #SaultyDog

The only bike shares left didn’t have an e-assist. Sweaty and slow on the SF hills means you can take it in. 😍 #mobility

Affordability crisis meets the State Fair back home in Minnesota. A friend did a little math on the change in prices to two iconic Fair treats.

The bomber/fighter flyovers were incredibly loud but otherwise it was quiet up away from the National Mall and the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. Minnow enjoyed being back running our home trails in Rock Creek Park - the air today has an unmistakable hint of fall. ❤️🍁 #TrailRunning

A few months ago someone on here wrote: “Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?” Recommend Solvej Balle’s mesmerizing series on the human condition.

Mayors are on the frontlines of tackling affordability, climate, and energy. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at ULI: the goal is to make Boston the best city for families. Housing, lower energy burdens, and resilience to flooding and extreme heat. Buildings account for 70% of Boston’s emissions.

Historic heatwave in the DC metro and our house is so comfortable thanks to @energysmartwv.bsky.social’s design focused on on variable-speed heat pumps - they pull more humidity out of the air and the result is excellent indoor comfort and air quality. Thanks Nate! #heatpumpnation #heatwave

The heatwave in the mid Atlantic is pretty intense. We’re moving my parents from their home in northern AZ to Phoenix metro next week and this is the new normal summer temps. A low of 87 degrees? How is this one of the fastest growing areas of the country.

Finding fresh tart cherries at the market this morning felt like a miracle after a mild winter and sudden late frost devastated harvests across the country (real-world impact of climate change right in my kitchen). Highly recommend Beth Dooley’s sweet and savory pickled tart cherries. 🍒 #SundaySky

Final (heat constrained) run of my trip. London Bridges. The ability to run anywhere is one of the greatest joys of the sport. #runningsky

London has invested heavily in cycling infrastructure - bike use in London has grown 43% since 2019. But car use has remained largely unchanged. Analysis indicates half of all riders remain uncomfortable without heavily protected, continuous routes. Got a taste of that while biking today!

Enjoy the local accents of subway drivers in NYC, Boston, or DC? You won't find them on Singapore’s MRT. It’s fully driverless and automated. You trade local soul for hyper-efficient 'shadow trains' that deploy via AI #transit

Delicate spring ephemerals are a real contrast to the flamboyant ornamentals back in D.C. Such a welcomed break from the pollen - insects pollinate these fleeting woodland beauties. Virginia bluebells, blue violet, spring beauties, star chickweed #blueridgemountains #spring

Good luck to all the Birkebeiner racers this weekend! The largest cross-country ski race in North America kicks off tomorrow in Wisconsin. Not the Olympics, but still epic - 50K+ of grit and pure winter joy. At risk bc of climate change (this year’s route is altered). #Birkiefever
