In honor of #BannedBooksWeek, I'm happy to report that many state DOTs have refused to add my book to their own libraries (and happier to report that many of the same state DOTs have held secret book clubs with my book)

Boo hoo, cry harder that bikes are more agile in cities than big dumb cars are. This doesn’t sound like they broke any rules, you’re just jealous because you’re in a big dumb car.

We need way more non-car travel options. Bike lanes, micromobility, sidewalks, transit, and safe streets to actually provide Americans with options. End our stupid culture of car dependency!

More idiocy from Trump. Just fyi: Lake Ontario comes from the Native American name for the lake, and it's been called that since the founding. The Canadian province is named after the lake. "Lake Ontario" is a far more authentically American name than, say, "Mar-a-Lago."

My plea has never been “stop driving and start riding like us” but has always been “stop driving in ways that end up getting us killed” it isn’t “you don’t deserve to drive your car,” it’s “we deserve to ride our bikes”

Had a really ‘nice’ driver punish close pass me after I “ran” a stop sign. Dude wouldn’t quit yelling but hopefully his son or whoever the other dude was heard me tell him to look up the Colorado Safety Stop law passed years ago. I followed the law, he broke it.

Great 🧵 about why e-bikes are the future of transportation. Btw, I’m a UC Davis ‘95 grad where I rode a sweet purple Schwinn cruiser with a front basket that my mom found at a yard sale for $30.

I hurt my foot a few years ago and walking to and from the bus was painful and slow but riding my ebike was easy and pain-free! (I don’t have a car so that wasn’t an option.) Most everyone is disabled at some point, at least temporarily.

More expensive, 4x the need for transportation to appointments, potentially more time off work or school, and a need for childcare if they have other kiddos.

The black lung rate in Appalachia is now as high as it was in the 1970s. Remember: Trump indefinitely stalled a rule that would limit miners’ exposure to dangerous silica dust, which causes black lung. Trump doesn’t care about miners’ health. He never has and he never will.

BREAKING: Trump's FCC just opened the floodgates for even worse media consolidation. That could mean billionaires buying more local TV stations to raise prices and control more of what you watch. Another Trump anti-monopoly nightmare.

The most glaring double standard in American politics today is that if a Democrat said 1/10th about GOP-leaning areas what this guy says about cities on the daily there'd be a media dogpile so swift and vicious there'd be nothing left of their bones for the hyenas to pick at.

good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.

This rich entitled prick is a real winner. Everyone says he’s horrible and everyone witnessed him doing awful things but his attorney says he’s a nice boy so Ohio MAGAs elected him to Congress. Republicans have no shame and don’t give a 💩 about abused women and children.

Replaced one of our cars with a cargo bike over a month ago. Despite the heatwave and the terrible drivers here, the car hasn’t moved ever since and we’ve done trips that we would have never considered before. A cargo bike not only replaces your car, it makes all trips fun and creates opportunities.
