When you park in a bikeway or walkway, you prevent this 👇🏻 Yesterday, I was riding home and had to call the police, who promptly came to issue tickets to people who parked in the bike lane, and was reminded of the "why" 2 blocks later when I saw this village supporting their newly walking toddler.

This is 17. She's biked in over 30 cities around the world, doesn't have a driver's license and gets around my transit independently. I joke that she is her school's Valedictorian of Transportation.

Halsey over I-84 has a 2-way bikeway now! The ride to Gateway Transit Center is little step closer to convenient and safe.

"Childhood joy and freedom are the fire in my 🔥work" I received the Alice Award from @thestreettrust.org and got to celebrate with many of the people who have supported and inspired me from leading a bike 🚲 🚂 to starting a safe routes to school program to the Hood River E-bike Library.

"It's just the beginning," Ramey added. "I think we have no idea how impactful these two programs are going to be on people's lives. I think it's going to be a game changer for the Gorge and how people envision themselves getting around." 🔗 Gorge Magazine issuu.com/thegorgemaga...

Seeing a mom of 3 do the school run with a bike+ trailer that she now owns thanks to the Hood River E-bike Library, is why I have the best job. Thanks to @pacificpower.bsky.social for funding this program! I am applying today to increase funding from $100->300k to increase the impact.

Sí, se puede! 80 families in the agricultural community of Odell (pop. 2400) showed up for Dolores Huerta Walk to School Day! As a migrant farmworkers community with zero safe walking and biking routes, her rally has never been more poignant. We need 💰 for Safe Routes to School in #Oregon!

Our 16yo is a big fan of @mayor.nyc.gov and she bikes to school every day, choosing not to wear a helmet. She shared Mamdani's "you're right, I've got to do better" social post about wearing a helmet and we all took a deep breath. Thanks, @thewaroncars.bsky.social thewaroncars.org/2026/09/08/e...

Sidewalk hierarchy: 1. Business 2. Drivers 3. People I was packing my bike next to the curb and had already moved x2 for the store to sweep and a driver to unpack her car. Aesop: move your bike so we can put our A-frame out. We need to open. Me: this is public right of way Them: leave now

10 years after we left Boston, we biked between friends' 🏠 JP to Somerville. On Mass Ave, a parked ambulance forced us into traffic, where a speeding driver missed me by inches. We asked the crew to move. They did. But paint isn’t protection—and Boston still treats bike lanes like parking. 1/2

“Safe Routes to School is exactly the kind of investment that pays off for generations: safer streets for our kids today, and a more walkable, bikeable Hood River tomorrow,” said Hood River City Councilor Gladys Rivera. www.columbiagorgenews.com/news/advanci...

Students and youth should be centered in safe routes to school communications more. Their joyful support sets a tone for why it's important to have safe biking and walking infrastructure. The OG walk & roll club helped me engage neighbors back in 2023 and now get to celebrate their advocacy.

In 2026, Hood River and Wasco County Commissions voted to uphold the public land along Hood River Road. This was thanks to the advocacy work of our Bike Buddies volunteer. The landowner who had previously chained the gate and put up no trespassing signs was ordered to remove them. 1/2

8 of 9 of my ⚡🚲 E-bike library borrowers have purchased them as car replacement. So far, that's a $5000 cost out of my grant. Imagine if libraries and instant discount programs were launched in all small to medium cities that don't have bike share. The ROI for CO2 👇🏻 > than EV rebates.

Private companies are pouring billions into automating the worst way to move around a city. Self-driving cars don't solve traffic, they just create autonomous traffic jams for profit. Proven solutions already exist. Walkability, bikes, and public transit. Done.

"the collective impact of this group is astounding" We gathered an impromptu @streetsboston.bsky.social reunion and it felt really good to talk to each other. We were missing many board members and staff from the past and current, especially one Louisa. But we held everyone there in spirit.
