"were you the one at Westside Elementary who taught me how to ride a bike last year? I never got a chance to thank you. Now I can ride with my older sister" Almost sweeter than the moment they learn to ride is the follow-up on how it's changed their lives. Especially with older students.

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.

"I started out every time not knowing what I was to do and scared to death." Dolores Huerta's response when asked if she ever felt unsure of herself. She went on to coin the rally cry, ¡Sí, se puede! which Obama used in 2008, Yes, we can! 3/3

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!

Has @thewaroncars.bsky.social community noticed a dramatic uptick in toxic masculinity these past 2 weeks? Both Bikabout and my safe routes to school program have been inundated and I blame the NY Times DEI bike lane article / troll bots... Post link: www.facebook.com/share/v/1FJi...

My magic 🪄 elves I am getting the Alice Award from @thestreettrust.org at the end of the month and these talented 🚲 mechanics play a huge part. Bike Buddies has donated over 300 bikes in 4 years to kids AND they tune up the Hood River County bike fleets. All for beer 🍺 pizza 🍕 and conversation.

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

We spent 8 years advocating for safer Boston streets. A decade after leaving, too little has changed. Louisa Gag was killed biking on Boston’s streets. Where is the urgency? @mayorwu.boston.gov: Protect bike lanes. Protect people. Act.

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
