Urbanist, bicyclist for transport, enby, parent to two kiddos. I’m a thrill-seeker - when those thrills come from completing a project.
I love how Muffin is experimenting with a goth phase, courtesy of being the “granddaughter” to a #bikeParent.

I’m pretty pleased with my #photography on this one. I would have taken a bit longer to frame it up just right, but I was afraid of getting scooped!

How hipster is this shop; yet the best parking for your custom fixie is a gas meter out of sight of the cafe windows? (There’s also a parking sign around the corner, so close room for three bikes total.)

At the #DavidByrne show, I rocked out to Life During Wartime, awash in the nostalgia of it, paying little mind to the lyrics, as ever; but when they put up video clips of #ICE and the #resistance to it, the song suddenly took on real meaning. How close are we to three passports, a couple of visas?

@ibikedinthis.bsky.social IDK if you inspired me to wear this while biking, but you definitely inspired me to document it. As you can see, I threw on a wool sweater after the show and swapped shoes for the bulk of the ride (the main photo is after biking the three blocks from the restaurant).

I voted today for @mayorcarter.bsky.social for almost all the same reasons. I look around and see progress and know if I want that to continue, he is the person to do it. His focus on the youth is especially a strong endorsement. As my kid says - A-he's a good mayor and B-he's good at playing Tag.
I’m voting for @melvincarter.bsky.social on Tuesday, and it isn’t an especially hard choice.
There’s a lot of talk in STP about how we need to do the basics really well. A lot of that talk has come from me! It’s something I ran on because it’s something I hear all the time from folks in Ward Four.

I’ve been furiously sewing this custom witch’s hat for my costume and now that it’s done on time, I’d love to know if folks can guess what my costume’s title is.
Hints:
1. I wear dresses pretty much all the time, the fact of the dress is irrelevant.
2. You pretty much need to be local to MSP.

I spotted Lime scooter 0001 yesterday. “Now that’s a piece of history right there!” I thought; only to stumble upon 0011 a few minutes later. I started to wonder if they were numbered in binary, but just for funzies.

@tcbikeparking.bsky.social Merriam Park Public Library (SPPL). Grade: A. Separated from the street, space for bikes on either side of your own, enough of it, well trafficked. I’m even tempted to give it a “+” for the e-bait-bike that’s locked by cable, but that feels cruel.

If you’re a Saint Paul voter, please consider what a failed school referendum would look like for our city. $37.2million would have to be cut from anything our district is not contractually obligated to provide, from Pre-K to music and sports.

No bike racks that I could find. This rickety stop sign on the landscaping rock was a poor substitute. At least there was space to park and a solid bike trail connection close by.
