I have seen the promised land and it is Hoboken. There's so much similarity to Alexandria, even down to the lovely park underneath a big ol bridge! Congrats on the vision zero achievement, Hoboken, you've got a fabulous little city.

Obligatory cargo bike Costco haul pic, good for dunking on internet commentors who think bikes are only for recreation. This is three months of a working family's pantry stock by bike with room to spare. And no Pentagon City parking shenanigans #ifykyk

Widget is the #transitcat of the day and I couldn't be more proud! But he has a sister too - meet Nyxie!

The swag from the Carlyle bike to work day pit stop might be the best I've ever had. Last year the Carlyle Council was trying to veto the Holland Ln bike lanes, so is this how they're saying sorry? (Cat's name is Widget - he was not disturbed)
A well appointed bicycle multi tool, with a sleeping cat in the background. The cat's name is Widget, fittingly.

Cargo bike smugposting is mandatory during a Costco run. I apologize

Always take the lane! If a driver /must/ pass, it forces them to do it in a way that minimizes risk to you - see how the driver in this clip uses the oncoming lane in the first encounter when I am taking the full lane, but cuts close to me in the second when I don't take the full lane.

They got some things right in 1924
A cartoon from 1924 depicting a giant labeled "aroused public opinion" netting a speeding car as pedestrians flee and rage at the driver. The net is labeled "law enforcement; stricter license regulations; physical and mental examination; revoke license." Citation: G. Lokay, "This Must Stop"

Flexposts are no protection against negligent driving, evidenced by the steady destruction of this on-street lockup zone on King St. Street designs that rely on flexposts, or worse, paint on the asphalt, provide no tangible protection to vulnerable road users. Nothing a couple of bollards can't fix.
An on-street bike rack in disrepair, one staple laying on the ground and the corner posts missing or askance on King St. in Alexandria Virginia. Automobile traffic in the background.

The predictable result of an overbuilt roadway is reckless driving that damages our public spaces and endangers vulnerable road users. The changes to Eisenhower Ave that passed last summer can't come fast enough. via Alexandria BPAC www.facebook.com/share/p/1K4c...

Made the mistake of driving instead of biking into Old Town to pick up my kids from school. I was tired, it was cold; I regret everything.
