“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

There's a brand new trail in the hills between San Mateo and Half Moon Bay, CA. I stepped out in front of the camera for the first time to check it out and after 24 hours it's already my number 4 most viewed video. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/SlyufTgk1CI

This is a great accomplishment from Emeryville. To me, this is a reminder that you can make big, important, and outsized changes at the local level. When you elect leaders like mayor @johnbauters.bsky.social and are guided by @bikeeastbay.bsky.social you can save your neighbors' lives.

The GOP has long treated transit like a culture war issue, much like climate change, abortion, or LGBT rights. But Dems don't get this for some reason and keep trying to find bipartisan compromise on transportation issues.

This trail is part of my daily commute. The Cross Alameda Trail is an absolute delight, an important connection from Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood to the Alameda Seaplane Ferry Terminal. Give it a listen and then go for a ride.

Of the 12 Walnut Creek fatalities, 8 occurred on just one road: Ygnacio Valley. Advocates who have been fighting for solutions to this crisis for many years can not take your legislation seriously when there is no action on the PRIMARY traffic safety issues in your district, all involving CARS.

Did you miss the Pretti Good San Francisco ride? Want to re-live it? Here is (nearly) the full ride from the ferry building to Sunset Dunes, past the Golden Gate Bridge, and back along the Marina and Embarcadero. It was a spectacularly beautiful day to honor Alex Pretti & Renee Good.

Alameda, CA had nearly no bike infrastructure when I moved here 13 years ago. Now's it's one of the best cities in the Bay Area and will only get better as it's Bay Trail, Cross Alameda Trail, and Central Ave projects finish up later this year. Congrats @bikewalkalameda.bsky.social

Bike East Bay @bikeeastbay.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
There is a lot of construction around Oakland right now, with a record setting SIX concrete-protected bikeway projects being built at the same time! This also means many questions from people about what’s happening. We have all the details for you at: bikeeastbay.org/oaklands-rec...
Oakland's first major raised, protected bikeway on Fruitvale Ave looking fresh with new trees planted alongside itThe new protected bikeway on 7th St/8th St from Fallon to 5th Ave (past Laney College) has concrete curb islands and will have curb stops soon.This protected bikeway along Grand Ave from Harrison to Bay Pl offers a 1-way westbound option for cyclists (the other side of Grand has a 2-way  cycletrack that goes East and around the lake)This new bikeway on 14th St goes from 980 to Lake Merritt. You can already see landscaping coming in, and many more complex and great features to come!
