I was driven in a car for all of my childhood. All over FL. 45 minutes to an hour to all the family members spread across the state. I am so glad my kids don’t have to live that life.

Sometimes I’m jealous of my kids’ childhood… Just hanging out, hugging and petting our puppy in a cargo bike on the way to school on a beautiful fall morning in Minneapolis. 🚲 ❤️ 🐶

I think it's bad that kids simply *riding* e-motos are viewed as problematic. What about the high schoolers I see driving trucks and overpowered cars? Or parents in giant SUVs? Both of which are more dangerous. No, no, the kids on e-motos are the real scourge.
Why are dirt bikes being ridden to middle school? How is that allowed?

When NFL players are pushing for natural grass, why would schools put kids on artificial turf that can get hot enough to melt shoes? Community health advocate (and mom) Jasmine Mccain explains how artificial turf is a step backward for our kids: buff.ly/utXaz7D

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car. They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

The War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Giving people money to "to downsize or ditch their cars" would just result in other people buying cars. The only way to reduce the number of cars in a city like New York is to change curb regulations or take the space and use it for other things, like bike parking, bus lanes, and garbage containers.
Equitable Vehicle Transition Incentives: For residents looking to downsize or ditch their cars, the city should offer robust tax credits or trade-in incentives so owners do not have to pay out-of-pocket differences, easing congestion naturally rather than punitively.

Hell yes. Now we can finally put up "Motorist Dismount" signs and force drivers to exit their trucks and slowly walk them through mixed-use zones, exactly like cities constantly force people on bikes to do.

Eternal wisdom from Mr. Money Moustache: www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/04/22/c...
"But there’s more to it than that. When you use a 3500-pound car to transport your 150-pound self around, 96 percent of the weight of that clump of matter is the car. You’re moving 25 times more junk around than you need to, and thus using 25 times more energy to do it.

Imagine that you’re hungry for lunch, so you go to a restaurant. But you don’t just order yourself a blackened salmon salad for $15.00. You order twenty five salads for $375.00! Then, you eat one of them, and leave the other 24 blackened salmon salads, $360.00 worth of food, to get collected by the waiter and slopped unceremoniously into a big black garbage bag. All that fine wild-caught Alaskan Salmon, lovingly seasoned and grilled. All the fine crumbles of feta cheese, the mango salsa, diced green onion, shaved peppers, rich zingy dressing, and everything else the chef worked on for hours – plopped into the slimy garbage bag. This is exactly what you are doing, every time you drive!"

Speeding doesn't actually save you meaningful time. All it really accomplishes is aggressively increasing the chances that you kill yourself or someone else outside your vehicle. It's a mathematically flawed, entirely selfish risk.
