iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

Regardless whether you make this event... This Wednesday, Sept. 30th, 2026, consider planning to take transit to/from work —maybe with an accountability buddy. Share on socials w/ hashtags like #TransitToWorkDay & maybe #WeekWithoutDriving2026 since it's the day before Week Without Driving begins!

There is a grayscale photo of a diverse group of people standing around on the side of a city street, with one person in a wheelchair centered in the foreground, a person with a child in a stroller in the background, & a person with a bike in the background.
On this grayscale photo, there is a black box with white text that reads,

"What would change in your life if driving wasn't an option?"

Whoever made the screenshot has drawn an orange line underlining that text in order to draw more attention to it.

Beneath the photo, there is a bold, black header:
IMPACT
then the black text, highlighted in orange:

“By highlighting how there are people who lack access to driving in every community, Week Without Driving helps win policies that support access for nondrivers across both rural and urban communities, and everywhere in between.”

The person who made this screenshot, has drawn alternating black and orange arrows from the bottom of the photo down to the impact statement.

Show your dog the world. Opt out of driving.

Minnesota deserves a hometown candy tradition. We've given the world the Milky Way and the Salted Nut Roll. What comes next?

Somewhere on a Minnesota trail this weekend, a very serious rider in full kit on a carbon road bike got passed by someone on an e-bike and muttered the familiar line: e-bikes are cheating. We agree. All bikes are cheating. Literally every single one. Read more ⤵️⤵️⤵️ www.bikemn.org/all-bikes-ar...

All Bikes Are Cheating - Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota

E-bikes aren't cheating. All bikes are. And it's past time that the bike community recognizes the shared goals are accomplished together.

One of the things in this image is an actual climate change solution.

NACTO does not exist to demonstrate the maximum of what is possible. The design guides should be the *minimum* acceptable standard.

Every paper-of-note has some old white guy who had a moderately successful journalism or political career back in the day. They have a column that is treated as sacrosanct by the editorial leadership or financial owners of the paper. So sacrosanct that any ideas they put forward go unchallenged.

The venture-cap subsidizing of tech goods/services + startup businesses in the '10s showcased that the wealthy could be making life much better for many people. The enshitified consolidation + quality collapse of these services as they try to max their extraction showcases that it will never last.

If you bike in Minnesota, help flood the MnDOT comments to showcase the near-insatiable demand for better bike funding in Minnesota.

Prepping someone else for a tabling at a major retailer. Rules included no materials of a political nature. What a bubble of privilege to still get to exist in where someone can think that is possible.

Alex Pretti was shot and killed 8 months ago today after being disarmed by federal agents. The agents then spent the next few hours denying the BCA and MPD access to the scene while shooting at protesters. No one has been held responsible in the killing. chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

In light of tonight's BET meeting, I am auctioning off a signed original crayon on paper drawing by @ehbinmn.bsky.social of what can best be described as a "Biscikle". Bidding will begin at whatever the MPD budget gets finalized at.

Every time a bikeway is villanized for tree impacts from a project that involves a roadway reconstruction or underground utilities, this is the depth of the logic hole being ignored.

Elected leaders opposed to adequate funding for parks make it clear that they: 1) Don't go to parks in nonaffluent areas and see the disinvestment 2) Don't talk to the parents and residents who rely on parks programming 3) Don't understand that money can be saved by spending a small amount first

With the autumnal equinox behind us, we're officially in the 13 months of the year where riding a bike is impossible and unfathomable. Congratulations, bike friends, we've made it yet again.

With 5 x more angle-grinder resistance than the best selling U-lock, X1 is the ultimate in bike security: lightweight Sold Secure Diamond armoured U Lock.

Grinder resistant locks cost less than the staff time needed to recover a stolen bicycle. Cities could be providing these by the hundreds. us.litelok.com/products/lit...

Not saying that it is the BEST use of the same amount of money, but $30m mpd overspending could buy over 100k angle-grinder resistant bike locks. In other words, we could essentially solve bike theft within the city of Minneapolis overnight.
