Trying to map all of the DC Bike Bus routes that I know about. I'm just guessing at the MV P St route @byerussell.com please feel free to correct me. Are there any I'm missing? Let me know!! Also the MV Calle Ocho route I need guidance on! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e...

DC local reporters- there is an insane story in here about an ID counterfeiter who lived across from Union Market, drove with fake plates, had a gun and drugs in his apartment, and lived under a fake identity! Also includes interesting locations of some DC license plate reader cameras...

Today’s Bike Bus! We took the lane on Q at NJ and were waiting at a red light and a driver behind our group goes “you know there’s a bike lane right there?” What, you think we don’t know? You don’t think there’s a good reason we’re all taking the driving lane? 🙄

I agree — Jack never rides in my GSD anymore except for the rare occasion he gets a flat tire on his bike. So I almost never take kids in the GSD anymore. I still love it and ride it everywhere.

There's a perfectly-disaster-sized pothole in the road on Q NW at 9th. Biking in the dark with kids, we almost didn't see it.

#WeekWithoutDriving is October 1–8! Join us to experience moving like the 1 in 3 people in the U.S. who are nondrivers. WWD challenges you to rely on riding the bus, walking, rolling, or asking for rides to understand what it takes to get where you need to go without driving. buff.ly/DdzIiJH

Got my flu shot + Covid shots yesterday and I feel like I was hit by a train today. I missed the bike bus but Brian lead the group and apparently it was another great one!

Our bike bus was disrupted by several circles of POTUS helicopters - super annoying.

The connection from the 9th street PBL to the bus lane could be so much better. Otherwise I'm still just inclined to take R E/W. buspriority.ddot.dc.gov/pages/ustnw

We realized having a spare combo bike lock at the school is needed - and it came in handy today! I also spotted a random kid biking with his mom and told him to join our bike bus but he goes to a different school 😂

Have any bike buses around the country ever explored asking Waze or Uber to add the bike bus route so that it shows up as an alert to drivers on the days and rough time window it runs? @bikebusworld.bsky.social

Encountered this one aggressive driver in our bike bus. Kids didn’t really notice the honking but the parents did. His window was down so I yelled “good morning!!” Just as aggressively as he passed us.

Jack’s day so far: Biked 5 miles to ballet Ballet class for an hour Reading date wth me at coffee shop Biked to Mt Pleasant for a soccer game Biked in pouring rain to lunch Biked in pouring rain to second ballet class Jack’s bike stamina could give a 50 states rider a run for their money.

Update: left, went to soccer in Mt Pleasant, then biked back up to Ward 3 — this time in the pouring rain. He’s a trooper!

Ran into @fakesharrows.bsky.social in Ward 3 at the 50 States Ride City Ridge pit stop! He said the lime “shuttle” is — you give someone your bike and they take it up the hill while you lime scooter up to meet it??

Lately our Saturdays require us staying in Ward 3 all day with brief visits to Ward 1. Biking up those hills is second-nature at this point to Jack. Just gotta find ways to bide his time in between activities.

Jack loves his boom box we bought him and he’s been listening to our old burned mixes from friends from 2004 - so a lot of dashboard and yellow card 😂
