I like bikes and riding them.

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Saturday, 1/31/26. Phenomenal. Especially in the middle of winter in a city under siege. #Resist #Don’tObey
The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!

I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Friday, 1/30/26. Remember all the zealots who claimed the 30th St bike lane would shutter businesses? Guess what, it’s as vibrant as ever and getting better all the time.
San Diego installed bike lanes on a busy commercial street in North Park in 2021. Ridership jumped 67% the next year.

Now, 4 years later, bike and scooter trips on 30th Street have hit another record high. Foot traffic and business activity is also booming. www.kpbs.org/news/quality...
30th Street bike lanes in North Park saw record ridership in 2025
Bike and scooter trips on 30th Street have jumped 15% since the installation of protected bike lanes in 2021. Foot traffic and business activity also appear to be thriving.

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Thursday, 1/29/26. Those of you who call this “crazy” why aren’t you calling out people who ski in the same weather conditions? Same level of effort. Just dress for it and you’ll be fine. BTW, it was sunny and 77 today in San Diego -
Casual bike ride for a coffee.

A beautiful tribute to the song and, especially, the beautiful people we lost -
We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

The Boss is singing about ICE on the Streets of Minneapolis.
You won't hear this played at the Kennedy Center or on Fox News.

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Wednesday, 1/28/26. You betcha!
Honestly the longer ICE stays here the more advantage we gain. They have to be gone by spring. If the bike whackos get a shot at patrol it’s OVER.

Ugh, it's far away and I didn't think to follow it, but it looks like a chick-fil-a cargo bike was riding around downtown San Diego???

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Monday, 1/26/26. Umm, “ahem,” I think I already have this one covered, thank you -
Haters of terms like “cyclist” and “bicyclist,” how about “people who pedal”? 🤔

Here it is, your God damned, horrific, tragic, stupid, evil #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Saturday, 1/24/26. I just knew he was a bikeist the first time I laid eyes on him. One of the good guys - murdered by fascist thugs.

Reported this already, but what’s up with the Embassy Suites on Pacific Highway and Harbor Drive trying to convert a protected bike lane into a drop-off lane with a sloppy slathering of white paint and a cheap sign?

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for 1/21 and 1/22 2026 (yeah, I missed yesterday, which happens once or twice a year). You may thing you’re bad-ass, but, unless this is you, you’re just not.
The feels like temp right now is -26 degrees. This person is cycling up the hill past the Minnesota State Capitol in Saint Paul.

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Tuesday, 1/21/26. Kick back, take a few breaths, and watch this through. So soothing and so much safer an urban ride than the Paris I knew in the early aughts -
#boringparis-cyclingdiary share a lovely #paris urban bike ride . The ambient audio & violin music as good as the videography. I have visited Paris years ago & it looks so so so much better to ride a bike there now. 2 wheeled progress . Hope & inspiration for all cities. ❤️🚲🇫🇷

Seen on the Bluemont spur bike trail and thereabouts.

I happen to have access to PDFs of these if you want to print/post them yourself. DM me.

Great article featuring @ridesd.org which is becoming a force for public transport improvements in San Diego. Like being able to tap onto transit with a credit or bank card? Thanks them!

This emerging group of young transit advocates wants to reshape how San Diego gets around
RideSD is becoming increasingly vocal and conspicuous as it lobbies for incremental changes and big-ticket items like a new trolley line.
