Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Thank you @hackneycyclist.bsky.social! That’s really helpful. 000
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Mostly unrelated question, but my wife and I are doing a little self planned e-bike tour in the Netherlands next month and I’m starting to worry that we’ll need to stop and charge. Is it easy to find public e-bike charging in the NL? Is it common to take your battery into a cafe to charge? 101
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 15/05/2026This was our neighborhood in Phoenix back in 2020. We were one of the first testing grounds for these things. They invaded with almost no notice to the community. 020
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 12/05/2026So nice. I’ll be visiting the Netherlands in July with a cycling trip planned that will bring us along this stretch. Really looking forward to it! 000
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 15/04/2026My kids have been wearing Nutcase helmets for several years now. I would also recommend them but I don’t know if they are available any longer. 010
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Purchased our first cargo bike(Yuba Supermarche) in ‘21. Promptly realized how much we could accomplish with it and ditched our 2nd car 1 year later. Bought a 2nd cargo(Tern HSD) in ‘24. We use them daily now for schools pickup/drop off, g-store runs, date nights and pretty much everything else. 030
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 07/04/2026“How fast does it go?” Is by far the question I get asked the most when I’m out. So dumb.🤦 010
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 30/03/2026There is almost always a gaggle of carts around the bike racks at my local grocery store. The entrance with the cart corral is like less than 50 feet away too. I don’t get it. 010

Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Every age has its own thing but newborn’s are definitely a lot. I don’t miss the lack of sleep, diapers, feedings, etc. 170
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Agreed. Last year I had to rent a truck from Home Depot after the chain broke on my bakfiets when I was downtown. There was no shop within pushing distance and the only mobile mechanic in our area was unavailable. Definitely one of the disadvantages of owning a large cargo bike. 220
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Looking forward to it! I wish I could say our walking/biking infrastructure here in Phoenix is as good as our weather right now. 010

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 :) 29321
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I was in Columbus for the holidays visiting family and was really bummed by the crappy conditions of the sidewalks even without the snow/ice. Not sure if it’s indicative of the entire city but where we were(Franklin Park) they were/are not in good condition. 100
Reposted by Nick BarnhiserTern Bicycles @ternbicycles.com · 21/01/2026Can 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 2307

Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 07/01/2026Always 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 010
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 30/12/2025We have a 18 hole city owned golf course here in Phoenix which I find incredibly stupid for a vast number of reasons. Really poor land use in the middle of a city. 020
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 30/12/2025I worked with a few other advocates and parents to organize and put together the first(of hopefully many) Kidical Mass event here in Phoenix Arizona back in October. Turn out and feedback was amazing and we’ll hopefully be doing another in the spring. 000
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 29/12/2025It seems like all the talent has gone over to television. I do miss good movies though. 2ish hours of entertainment with a beginning, middle, and end. Some of these tv shows are great but I’ve grown tired of having them spread out over several years. 020

Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Hawk crossings are certainly a start but the slow rate at which Phoenix is deploying them it’s a bit like putting a band-aid on a gun shot wound. 010
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Jaywalking 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...azfamily.comNo More Warnings: Phoenix changes jaywalking policy as pedestrian deaths riseCity leaders are getting tougher on jaywalking, ending warnings and issuing immediate citations while investing millions of dollars to make crossing the streets safer. 1121

Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Vision 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 131
Nick Barnhiser @nickbarnhiser.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Picked up an electric auger from my neighborhood Toolshed using the @ternbicycles.com HSD. Going to dig some holes for trees that will be plated in the spring. 2214
