The National Bike Summit is one of my favorite conferences every year. It’s so inspiring to talk to advocates across the country who are getting more people on bikes and making streets safer for all.
Cheers to a fantastic Day 1 of #BikeSummit25, and kudos to the amazing @bikeleague.bsky.social team

A lot of excellent testimonies at DC Council's hearing on local transportation issues today.
As always, @jlrhart.bsky.social's passionate testimony was a beacon of inspiration, advocating for action to make streets safer for our children and families after years of backsliding on Vision Zero goals.

“I call it ‘my ride, my car.' I don’t have to interact with anybody, it’s gonna take me basically where I want to go, when I want to go there, and it’s all about my choice and I’m not dependent on your eyes to see what’s around me.” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
Why some Bay Area blind people say Waymos are changing their lives
Some sighted people say taking Waymos feels like a loss of control. Many blind people say the opposite.

I’ve Brought Home Lamps From Japan and Italy. But This IKEA Globe Is My Favorite.
My IKEA globe lamp sits on my TV console, but it’d look great atop a side table, nestled on a shelf, and even in the kitchen.
