People before profits, people are not property, cities are for people not cars, active transportation is my jam, despises cooking, weekends are for memories not cleaning my house.

The sun is in my eyes... I could just buy and install blinds, or I can use my design thinking and UX tools to solve the problem creatively

I just realized the reason we have Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan & the whole manosphere movement is b/c they're plugging the cultural hole that Red Green left behind.

Nothing like Tom Holland in his epic lips sync battle. Always brings a smile to my face.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.
This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.
Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

This is also my bike origin story. I’m cheap AF.
My bike commuting origin story is that I didn’t want to spend my hard-earned $ to park my old car while I worked in downtown Denver, so I tried biking.
And here we are.
I guess what I’m saying is… saving $ on car parking is a slippery slope to safe streets advocacy.
Beware! 🚲🚶🏻🚌

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
