My bike is my favorite fashion accessory. This was a "surprise" dress 👗 gift from my husband and I brought it home for them to see it out in the wild.

I’m officially CPTED certified now and my official recommendation is to put skateable benches everywhere to “activate the space.”

We biked to hockey today almost entirely on all ages and abilities infrastructure. And then brought our bikes on the train back home because kiddo was tired after his games. This is what having good quality transportation options is all about!

Cassie takes a selfie on her bike wearing a hat and helmet. A hockey stick pokes out behind her. And on the bike path behind her is a kid wearing a helmet and coat on another bike.

1. Humbly observe where people in your community are struggling. 2. Ask "What's the next smallest thing we can do to address that struggle *right now*?" 3. Do that thing. Right now. 4. Repeat

Is It A Bike Lane? @isitabikelane.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Without my bike I’d be functionally disabled. With it I’m as mobile as ever So accusations that cycling is “ableist” really annoy me. And “Cyclists Dismount” signs are a literal pain Disabilities are unique to the individual, cycling’s not for everyone, but can be absolutely essential help to many

We don't need chain stores and car-oriented corporations dominating our cities. We need neighborhoods that are small, local, and personal. When we finally move past the era of car dependency, this is what the future of sustainability looks like.

Do YOU have an aging friend/relative who should stop driving? Tell them this story from San Francisco. Ask how they will feel if they kill an entire family. But don't tell them that even then, they'll be forgiven and be able to drive again. This verdict is obscene. www.ktvu.com/news/woman-a...

Sitting here drinking my morning coffee out of my Scruff McGruff coffe mug, watching videos of Minneapolis gathering in masses for the annual sharpening of a giant pencil (thinking of better times) and have come to the realization that Kalamazoo simply isn’t weird enough for me.

Cities aren’t places, but rather collections of people. And the people of Kalamazoo are amazing. ✅ no rezoning of natural space for another car wash ✅ no harassment of our friends and neighbors Not this time, not ever.

A new fleet of 8 being prepped for service. These workhorses will be racking up tens of thousands of kilometers throughout their lifespan, saving the company substantial sums of $, all while also being eco-friendly. Can't wait to see them once they've been outfitted with new livery.
