We're in a church basement for a funeral meal. There's a commercial coffee pot and dispensers for lemonade, water, and tea. Behind them on the wall hang two frames: a graphic reading "One nation, under God" next to a 48-star United States flag.

Seven years ago today I tried an ebike on a lunch hour. Yesterday I "raced" 128 miles on dirt. What's next?

A white electric share bike with an orange saddle parked in front of a soon-to-be discarded car. This is the day I was bike-pilled.

Flexpost cosplaying as bollard. Safety is an illusion.

For years this section of cycle track sat unfinished (paint-only) because the rich homeowners there opposed the ugly plastic flexposts used elsewhere. OK, message received 😂

The world is on fire and I get to spend time tomorrow filing a police report against the guy that threatened to "shoot [me] off [my] fucking bicycle" BUT hey check out these brand new tires!

Just outside the front door of a bicycle shop, a Clydesdale titanium frame gravel bike leans against a bollard. It's wearing new tires labeled "Maxxis Aspen 32x2.40". Not a typo: these are 32" wheels! Just behind the bike is a sandwich board that reads "Put the Fun Between Your Legs! @cyclecitykc"

I took my oversized bike to Unbound Gravel, remained upright through 108 miles, and had a blast. It was HOT but an amazing experience

Save 25% on municipal repaving projects with one weird trick (drivers hate it)

A section of city street. Three car lanes are freshly repaved and striped. The former fourth lane was converted to a curb-protected two-way cycle track and did not require resurfacing.

Streetcar platform? What platform?

The part of the rendering where they have obliterated the streetcar platform. Also the rails aren't rendered so I assume they've converted it to an articulated bus?

020

Ryan Mott @mo.tt · 22/02/2025

Gotta love how their renderings magically find 4 lanes for cars. Are they going to rip out the streetcar stop? Hot garbage 🤮

They'll absolutely mess up a wood floor. Scratch the heck out of your pedals, too. I decided I'd rather be able to put a foot down when it's sketchy, tho

We made a rolling billboard this morning. Figured if we had to slow down some drivers by sharing their lane, we could at least give them something to read.

Twin girls writing on poster board. So far it reads: "Please shovel"

Outdoor scene, snow covers the ground. Mounted to the back of a cargo bike with bar mitts, a large brake light, and a War on Cars sticker, the finished poster reads "Please shovel the bike lane" and includes a drawing of a bicycle with rainbow wheels and "😭🙏🏻"
