My final commute into the old office. A little rainy, but still a good time to reminisce about all the times I've ridden this route over the years in all kinds of weather. Not too many people would say they miss their commute after going fully remote, but it definitely feels like the end of an era.

Is anyone really surprised that "I will end all wars on day one" really meant "I will start a new war without congressional approval?"

As I did last year, I'll be riding in memory of my friend Peter Dudle, who was killed by a negligent driver while riding his bike in September of 2023.
Driver's, watch for cyclists. We want to get home to our families like everyone else.

It's been a rainy #BikeToWorkWeek in Greenville so far, but each day the rain has stopped and the sun has emerged for my commute. Let's hope the good luck continues for the
#BikeWalkGVL happy hour social this afternoon. Hope to see you there.

A few photos from #OrridodiBellano. I have been sharing a lot of my photos from Italy on Instagram and Threads, but not so much here. I wish @bsky.app would allow more than 4 photos per post, but I guess photo sharing is not really what the app is about.

A few of my photos from #Milan during design week earlier this month. After nearly three weeks in Italy, I have a lot of pictures to sort through. I'll get to them all later, but for now just adjusting to being home, and daydreaming about beautiful architecture and walkable car-free streets.

The League Of American Bicyclists released its Bicycle Friendly State rankings in December, and unfortunately—but not surprisingly—South Carolina ranked 47th out of 50 states.

Low 20s for my #bikecommute this morning. By South Carolina standards, that's cold.

All aboard the Swamp Rabbit Express! 🚂🎄 We decorated our #cargobike for the holidays and joined #BikeWalkGVL for the #PoinsettiaChristmasParade last night. Always a fun way to promote active transportation while spreading cheer in #GreenvilleSC.

Another chilly morning for my #bikecommute. We don't get too many days like this in South Carolina, but I enjoy breaking out the lobster mitts occasionally.

I have an Instagram account, #CarfreeGVL, where I modify local roads and spaces with Photoshop and AI tools to make them vibrant spaces for people instead of soulless places for cars. I claimed the name here too, @carfreegvl.bsky.social, but most likely I will just share everything on this account.

I've been primarily using Threads since I left Twitter/X a little over a year ago. I'm still posting there, but with so many people leaving for Bluesky recently, I decided to give it another try. Connect with me if you are into bikes, urbanism, design, or anything adjacent to those topics.
