It was 20 minutes of conversation with a woman I had never met before. It was so nice and brought two complete strangers together all for the main topic of the simple bicycle. The bicycle and active cities can heal society in a way that segregating car culture could never.

I was approached by a lady outside the gym today while parking my bike. She was likely in her 70s. She had such great questions about the bike and then proceeded to tell me about her ebike.
She told me that she rode over 600 miles on it last year and was so proud of herself. She was so happy.

We invited Sam Westby, a local bikey instagrammer, along on our HONKoween #BikeBus parade, and he produced this nice reel that’s getting some exposure over there. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzVB2A...

Cambridge isn't a big city, but it's not *small*--120K people total
Last night 24K people voted (<50% of all voters)
It only took 2372 votes (~10% of the votes!) to get a seat on city council
Local elections turn on small margins. Go fight for one--or at least make the other side fight.

Just as a general piece of advice, it's a good idea to let your town and city officials know when you approve of something they do. It will encourage them to do more things like that in the future, and it's also just nice because they get hit with a lot of negativity.
If you like this change to the street, please let Brooklyn CB6 know by emailing info@bkcb6.org
I'm on the board and we're already getting some cranky emails. The folks who are using this and benefit from it don't know they have to stand up for good things, so help us stand up for good things.

There’s an election this fall near you. Have you identified *one* candidate that you will be supporting and doing a little volunteering for to keep politics where you live sane in the face of federal fascism?

Re-discovered this great demonstration of NYC's bendy flex posts while cleaning up my downloads folder, and thought it was timely share given the recent primaries!
(In contrast, Cambridge's flex posts are usually rigid)

School streets is another one of those things where a bunch of neighborhoods will be virulently against it until they see it working in a lot of other neighborhoods and start complaining, "Why do those neighborhoods always get the good stuff?" This is exactly what happened with Citi Bike!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
