Hello, I’m a super busy gamer dad in Houston TX. I like going outside, eating food, and playing GeoGuessr.

Bsky bike pals, I need your input.

In addition to Rad Power Bikes going bankrupt, the battery I have is being recalled.

Is it worth getting the Safe Shield battery ($450) with no future support, or should I just skip it and get a non-budget brand cargo bike ($6000+)?

The people want cargo bikes.

Help us ensure we have the resources to grow @mplscargobikelibrary.com sustainably in 2026!
If you're in a position to be able to donate, please consider supporting our Give to the Max Day fundraiser.

Any amount helps as we work to scale our program in 2026. Our fleet is at least 4x larger than it was in spring of 2025, requiring more $ for secure bike storage, bike insurance & repairs.
Support the Mpls Cargo Bike Library on GiveMN
Park Tool is matching all donations up to $5,000! Help BikeMN reach our $15,000 goal.

Inadequate bike infrastructure is a major contributor to cyclist casualties in the US, but the attitudes of US drivers are also a huge factor. They view cyclists not as fellow commuters but as obstacles that don’t belong there, and they assume anyone biking instead of driving is being a contrarian.

Some lovely views on my last long ride but hated the portion immediately after this.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

Peak hurricane season is here. Why doesn't Harris County have an updated FEMA flood map? | Editorial www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit...
Harvey was 8 years ago. Why hasn’t FEMA released new Harris County flood maps?
It's peak hurricane season but we use out-of-date maps to make decisions about insurance and where to build houses, businesses, factories and more.

Hello from Houston! (I also biked to school and work in Nebraska, does that count as cold?)
People often ask for a video on biking in hot climates. Not sure how much we can say, we've never lived in one!

Summers in Canada get hot by *our* standards, but I'm sure people from Spain, Singapore, or Texas would laugh at what we consider hot (just like we laugh at what they consider cold).

Forget Democrats vs. Republicans. The real political divide is Good for Houston vs. Bad for Houston.

I get asked this when I pick up groceries on my cargo bike and when I grab lunch on my road bike. Do I give off courier vibes or something lol
On my way home after dropping the kids off this AM another person on a bike pulled up next to me at a light and asked:

“What kind of deliveries do you do with that?”

Me: “Getting my kids to school, groceries, etc.”

Person: “Oh, aren’t you a bike messenger?”

Me: “Oh, no! Just a parent. ☺️”

The last two weeks I forgot to start my Strava activity 5 times. Today I forgot my headphones at home and couldn’t find my bike lock. What is happening 😵‍💫

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Republicans playbook is to distract their constituents with random rage bait bullshit while they do their actual grift
Obviously this does not actually poll above 50% with Native Americans but is this a thing even white conservatives care about? Really?

Everything must be anti-woke culture war all the time? Who gives a shit
I, too, think Cleveland’s team should revert to its old name: either the Spiders or the (preferable) Naps. We do we no longer honor Nap Lajoie? His prestige is being taken away from him!

Update: he can ride a bike all by himself!
My oldest is learning to ride a bike, which is great, but we are at this awkward point where he’s not good enough to ride by himself yet but he’s too fast for me to keep up lol. Good aerobic base builder for daddy 🥵
