Still settling in after moving from Portland to Amsterdam, but I gotta share our first bike purchase.
Picked up a secondhand bike with a new lock, basket, lights, and 90 day warranty for €265. It's a beauty.
Still building the rest of the family fleet 🚲.

Mass cancellations, protests, and a full strike by SAG and WGA can and will force Disney to split from Trump. No one should give Disney money or labor until then.

Donald Trump just threatened to wage war against his own citizens. Not a law enforcement operation. Not crowd control. War.
Impeach this traitor.
Impeach this traitor.

Looking to add a cargo bike to the family fleet. Anyone in Portland interested in trading for my Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0?

Saw these Zicla Zebra lane separators all over Barcelona. Really cool company. Any transit folks know how they compare in cost and effectiveness to other methods of separating traffic?

How much safer, cleaner, and more economically productive would Portland be if we these numbers were:
1. Local: $0.40
2. State: $0.184
3. Federal: $0.10
We could have a serious discussion about balancing investments in streets instead of highways.
