I have thought of this quote a lot and shared it with lots of people. Helped me point out how car brained we have been guided to be: we have assumed it is a right to have a car wherever we want and gov should help us store it? Wrong. City spaces are meant for people not cars :)

Can a cargo bike replace a delivery van? In NYC, the answer is increasingly yes. Tern cargo-bike rigs are completing up to 360 deliveries per day, running nearly 20 hours in rotation, and operating at a fraction of a van’s cost. 🔗 Check out the full case study study: go.ternbicycles.com/ujxup #e

Always enjoy supporting my local coffee shop, but this 6 lane stroad that sits outside the front door really bums me out. My city, @cityofphoenix needs to do better. #stroad

Jaywalking was a creation of the automobile industry. Continuing to criminalize it will not prevent injury and death, only safety focused street design can do that. www.azfamily.com/2025/12/24/n...

No More Warnings: Phoenix changes jaywalking policy as pedestrian deaths rise
City leaders are getting tougher on jaywalking, ending warnings and issuing immediate citations while investing millions of dollars to make crossing the streets safer.

Vision Zero is a failure in the US because our city, state, and federal leaders don't have the backbone to stand up to a minority of citizens who would rather see people die on our streets than have their commutes slightly impacted. #visionzero

Biked downtown for pizza pickup up on this 105 degree Phoenix afternoon. Like anything else, riding in the heat is all about being prepared. Lots of water, breathable cloths that cover your body, a good spray bottle, and sometimes a cooling towel are great ways to make summer riding much easier.

They market bullshit like this when all this truck will ever do is haul egos and make city/suburban streets more dangerous for everyone. The public has to go after the American automobile manufacturers for designing death on 4 wheels and calling it practical freedom.

No fighting traffic, circling to find a parking spot, and paying for a parking spot. A bike is the best way to get downtown for a concert(or for any reason). #doitbybike @ternbicycles.com

"Fietsvlonders" are mobile bike platforms designed to turn a car parking spot into urban bike parking. They’re modular, moveable, and cheap, making it easy to test better use of public space. When car storage gets swapped for bikes, entire streets start to feel different.

We love riding in the rain! Ran some errands by bike with these two yesterday including a trip to the grocery store for the weekly shop. We could have easily jumped in the car to stay dry of course but what fun is that?

We really need to get a handle on car bloat in this country. For most people the only thing they need that big, stupid SUV and truck for is to haul around their ego. Vehicles need to be regulated to a specific size, speed, weight, and area of travel. apple.news/AkP5cRT_KT2S...

Guns and cars are weapons. The former needs to be outlawed completely, the later needs far more regulation.

Finally biked to the airport. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time but I’m always worried about the security of the bike. It was finally the right situation with a short trip and having enough locks to make me feel ok about it.
Beautiful morning ride along the canal to the airport. Bike still there and in tact when I returned.

I'm not asking full-time motorists to bike. I'm demanding cities equitably use tax dollars to build high-quality mobility options for those who can't or don't want to drive. If people ditch their cars later, great, but this is about giving real choices, not mandates.
