Now that oldest is in middle school, I only have all 3 in the bike on weekend and I have intensely "I miss this already" feelings 🥺 At least until they start screaming at each other 😂 #bikedc #cargobike

Kid is fine. But, 4yo got hit by dumbass on a bike last night.... on sidewalk. Another adult who was present profusely apologized to the cyclist. Counterintuitive but I think this is #carbrain. Apologize to bigger/faster vehicle, assume it is child's responsibility to get out of way. #bikedc

cargo bike child who is not wearing a helmet, hasn't actually finished buckling his seatbelt, and is still really much more focused on telling me interesting facts because they are more interesting. foreground shows the back of his sister's head. she is wearing a helmet.

Ridiculously gorgeous day. Had to work..... but also had to pick up kids which forced me to get out and enjoy it. This might be my single biggest "why" #cargobike #bikedc

Mega #bikebus videos are so fun... but you do not need 200 people, celebrity guest & police escort to start a bike bus! A few friends + a little organizing can be a game changer. Good one from @nikkimcentee17.bsky.social #bikedc @ggwash.org ggwash.org/view/105077/...

Small bike bus, big benefits

You don’t need a huge group to have a bike bus — just ask these parents. Read up ahead of National Walk & Roll to School Day on October 7.

3 rules of #MetBranch: 1. You have ROW on your side, I have ROW on my side 2. If you can't pass safely, yield to slower users. Breathe, it's 30 seconds, you'll be ok 3. All kids are our kids #bikedc

people ask me how I can ride a bicycle in the rain, and I always hesitate to divulge the disturbing secret—to reveal the lengths to which we, the esoteric cult of cyclists, will go in our perversity, in our all-consuming, world-be-damned obsession: water-repellent clothing

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

I came up with some more inane bullshit for everyone to argue about!

(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

You do not have to bike in the rain!!! Even if you only replace some car trips - easy routes, nice days - you will drastically improve your wellbeing and lifestyle. But if you want to bike in the rain, it is doable, easy and fun. (And yes - a trike makes it easier!)

Branch trail is PACKED with teens on bikes & scooters - giving each other rides, toting littler sibs to preschool dropoff, chatting & laughing on ride to school. Can we work on seeing "wow, kids on bikes, could be Amsterdam!" not "#$%# troublemakers on ebikes?" If not.... why not? #bikedc
