Cycling is especially good for people with long-running knee problems or health issues. I've been able to do everything I've wanted to, but a clamor of what-ifs were often in the back of my mind.

Just like life, riding my bike doesn't always make sense. But that's why I love it

When our new mayor agreed to sit down with me and talk infrastructure, I made sure to bring my wife along and let her offer most of the feedback on the current status of our bike network. Leaders don't need to hear from middle-aged dudes on bikes. They need to hear from women, seniors, and kids.

The average American household spends nearly $10,000/year on a car. That includes: • $3,000+ on gas & maintenance • $1,500 on insurance • $4,000–$5,000 in car payments • Plus registration, taxes, parking, and more. (1/2)

I want to make a personal request to those of you who use a bike for transportation purposes to start taking more photos and posting them. You can do so much by showing even the most mundane errands with a bike to educate and inspire others. They're often more effective than words. 📸

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

I’ve never been much of a drinker but about a year ago I had a drink out over dinner. I didn’t finish half and biked home thinking, “that’s probably my last drink.” I felt the same tonight about a piece of steak. My body is just done with it 🤷‍♀️

I rode my bike to get a massive grocery haul this morning and then drove our car to the gym this afternoon. Bikes-for-transportation doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing game, especially in North America where it's hard to do so. Do what you can, when you can. 🫡

Love this piece on the magic of riding an e-bike by @elizabethendicott.bsky.social, especially this part about how riding a bicycle can be a gateway to civic engagement. www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

For those who do use an e-bike, getting around can be tricky. Cities weren’t built for e-bikes, and Greenwald pointed out that some roads aren’t safe for them. She recommended testing routes on your own before you bring your kids, asking local bike shops about safe options, and accepting when you’ll have to go with another mode of transport. “If I’m replacing as many car trips with safe e-bike trips as possible,” Greenwald told me, “I’m doing great!” In our rides, my daughter and I have encountered plenty of these infrastructural hurdles. Some routes don’t have bike lanes or have lanes that end at random spots; others expect us to go up stairs. When this happens, my daughter and I chat about why, and then we contact our local representatives together to request improvements—an important lesson in civic engagement.

So many friends look at my cargo bike lifestyle as a hero or huge task. Honestly, it’s a cheat code. If it’s safe to bike, it’s typically easier than driving when you have kids. Seriously!
