I struck a chord with this @bikeportland.org advocating for Oregon's youth. This would be a game changer for moms like me who unfairly bear the burden of kid shuttling and for t(w)eens who need to learn resiliency and independence the fun way.

Opinion: Let Oregon kids ride Class 1 e-bikes
Oregon's age restriction takes away a crucial mobility tool for young people.

Everyone cares about transportation. This makes studying it really fun, but also means everyone (including experts) is in danger of confusing their opinions for facts. You would not believe how many comments in an academic talk about walking and cycling have to do with regulating e-bikes.

Annika sprayed me off but the drain still ran brown in the shower.

"Can you book this as a monthly meeting?"
Policy wonk can be fun...when you ride an E-bike together!
I took state, city and county leaders on a beautiful ride today with the goal of changing Oregon's law, allowing middle school to ride class 1, pedal-assist E-bikes. Also, infrastructure for kids.

Peachtree City is a lot of fun to bike around and I wish I did it more as a teenager, but unfortunately the ATL burbs got to me.
Check out the amazing network of paths...and golf cart parking at my old high school.

Fall 🍁 bike rides are the best!
Thanks to @tigard-stripes.bsky.social for capturing the beautiful bike ride we did with high school freshman yesterday, and for bring his rockstar daughter on the ride. She was right up front with me, showing those kids how it's done!

5 miles mixture of trails and rural-neighborhood-busy roads.
🤞🏼 we can do this every fall and spring.
