FYI, post collapse if you need some replacement bike chain in Durham the Crankarm Brewery bar has some. Only for emergencies though! But for now they've got great beers and an awesome location. Ride by and have a beer before everything falls apart!

We'll do anything but slow down the efficiency of entitled car culture.

Raised crosswalks, when designed properly, don’t just slow motorist speeds, they give people on foot and bike a sense of belonging.

Design shapes behavior. Signs just plead for it.

In a car dominated world, riding a bicycle is an act of resistance.

Yesterday I met a friend of my mother in law and she was saying how her grandkids and all kids don't play outside anymore. I said it is because of all of the cars( I held back the part about the boomers building the outside that way). She pivoted to kids being kidnapped. I said that's not really ...

It'll get a ton of people out of cars and therefore out of your way, revealing the open road to your leisure.

Sure would like to get some of this here in Durham NC. Unfortunately most of the schools have been built on 35 mph 3-4 lane through roads. Which are also residential streets. Or they've had the streets in front widened for high speed traffic,or they are on the edge of town where no one lives.

Got my 10th COVID vax on a grey January Monday, which seems unremarkable except that it was my first by cargo trike!
I spent the ride home feeling grateful for the human ingenuity that has improved my life through medical advances and ebikes.

3rd year in a row getting the holiday tree this way. TBH it isn't much of a brag as I'm only bringing it a few blocks. One could use a child's wagon or just carry it by hand in a pinch. But using the bike lets me do other errands at the same time. Went to the library and grocery also.
