The last two years I have traveled with our high school speech and debate team for their Tournament of Champions, held at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. What I found were two distinct and delightful greenways. The first, is an urban one through downtown.

Massive for safe biking in Toronto
HUGE legal victory: @cycletoronto.bsky.social has won its Charter challenge of the Ford government's legislation requiring removal of Toronto bike lanes! Justice Schabas ruled that the law puts cyclists at increased risk of harm and death which engages the right to life and security of the person.

So many exciting new protected bikeways coming to Oakland! As an Alameda resident, these help us leave the car at home when go to @bart.gov , Lake Merritt, @oaklandballers.bsky.social games, and Friday nights at the Oakland Museum of CA.

Listen to Mr. Simmerman.
As many of you know, I launched my North America Active Towns Amtrak Tour a couple of weeks ago with a "test trip" to Tucson and those on-bike interviews with city staff and ride-along vids are coming out soon so stay tuned, but in the meantime, I wanted to point you to this fabulous city tour video
Over spring break this year we visited my mom in Tucson. So of course I brought along the GoPro to explore the bike infrastructure. Here is a video from their first on-street protected bike lane. Shout out to new friend Derek for showing me around.

Why fly when you can take the train. While not a short journey, the @amtrak.com Coast Starlight is undefeated. I’ll put the stretch between San Luis Obispo and Oxnard against any other in the world. Today had a sideways sunset.

UPDATE: The April 3rd Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail vote is postponed again, this time indefinitely. Below is the info from the BCDC meeting agenda.
This delay is good news, likely a result of all the folks who wrote in and expressed their concerns about the trail closure proposal. Thank you!

It is perfectly possible for very young children to cycle through a city to primary school together, as long as you ensure that city has cycle infrastructure that makes it safe for them to do so. This also frees up their parents to be elsewhere and avoid the stresses of fitting the school run in
