Faith and I were bicycling the last few miles of the NOLA Social Ride along the Algiers levee when she stopped at a marker she’d noticed on the front half of the ride: the memorial for the two sisters and the boyfriend of the older sister in a tragic drowning accident back in 2022.

About last night: Faith made #chickenspaghetti which I’d never heard of and it appears to be a Southern thing? (Why would the Internet lie!)

The 1970s energy crisis had many unusual side-effects, including the ARCO oil company hiring Charlie's Angels' Cheryl Ladd to encourage people to leave their cars at home and ride bikes.

Wishing peace tonight to all the families grieving over the loss of life from the Texas flood, especially after hearing it hit close to our friends circle. So tragic.

1/3 One of my favorite aspects of communications and outreach is embracing culture but also popular culture. That's why I was thrilled that Bike Easy partnered with the Broadside to screen “The Triplets of Belleville” – one of my favorite animation moves AND one involving bikes.

My thoughts on the 10th anniversary of the landmark #NewOrleans public space project the #LafitteGreenway and why bold leadership is needed when it comes to advancing #walkability. The Greenway is a key connector between the #FrenchQuarter & #Lakefront. Hopefully the #greenway will be completed.

A lot of folks know New Mexico for green chiles, the largest hot air balloon festival in the world, and the birthplace of the bomb. But it's also a global center of flamenco—the passionate dance, song and music of the Roma people of southern Spain.
