South Tacoma Way is the Car Town part of Tacoma. I love finding excuses to bike through there, even if it’s when I’m waiting for my car to get serviced. (Note: I don’t wear my helmet when biking sidewalk speed on a sidewalk.)

Maiden voyage for copilot Mr. Bill to Trivia at a waterfront Tacoma brewery. I parked closest to the door 🍻 🏆 and turns out 24” bmx cruisers can also fit completely assembled in a hot hatch hybrid for a ride home. 💜

Still smiling from the fun times at Transit Trivia last night! Our team, Boops On Wheels, got 2nd place. Impromptu bike bus to the event was a fantastic bonus. Thanks @downtownonthego.bsky.social and all the great transit partners.

Mid-April ride report: still keeping the #30daysofbiking streak alive! Tandems, bmx, 3-speeds, groups, solos, new friends, wildflowers, day, night, trails, pavement. So far? SO good. (More photos on $trava if you are curious.)

Meanwhile a much needed crosswalk just opened on 6thAve next to a new 460+ unit apartment complex (formerly a Kmart). 20 sec cross timer, but it’s 5 lanes and folks don’t always stop right away. #walk253 #TacomaWalks
