In 2025, safety concerns are the top reasons cited by women when asked what prevents them from cycling more / at all.

Newest addition to my shelves:

Looking forward to digging into this one over the coming weeks.

Starting a new book today by author Peng Shepherd.

I've heard it's a "choose your own adventure" type book written for an adult audience?? No idea but I'll report back

So proud to be attending #GSA2024 in Seattle. First time attending GSA and really feeling the love down here. Lots to reflect upon after a full week

Visiting #Seattle this week and it has not disappointed. Kind, generous people and fantastic views.

Just a bit of blue sky for my first bluesky post 💙💙
