My wife and I, in our early 40s, going to dinner on one bike, because adding spice to life has become a priority.
She's reviewing the menu ahead of time. 🤳😉

Good urbanism and a healthy community shifts behavior from caring for "my property" to "taking care of our street".
Be the change (municipal sidewalk plowing) you want to see in the world…
By clearing the sidewalks beyond your own home until the snowblower battery dies.
I got 5 other neighbors’ sidewalks done tonight bc the snow was so easy to work with!

YEs definitely. $35.00 CAD each.
After reading your post, I tried putting one on the back of my bike. Looks good! Casts a bright arc around the back of the bike that would do wonders for visibility. Looks particularly good against the white snow.

Here is a video I shot of slowly crawling through the jungle in Suriname. Unfortunately zero sloths were spotted.

One of these two streets in Hells Kitchen is wonderful to bike on with kids.
One is not.
You’ll never guess which one. (Ok ok. It’s pretty obvious) #bikeNYC

Just another afternoon in the life of a cargo bike mom. Dropping off a package, then delivering kid 1’s scooter to school so he can ride home. A quick stop at the neighborhood pharmacy, then a race to see who will get home first: Kid 2 or me.

We are in the early innings of people coming to grips with the real cost of building our cities almost exclusively for automobility
LA quietly stopped repaving all streets last July to avoid fulfilling its ADA obligations. The federal govt says when you repave a street, you have to update all the curb ramps. LA has tons of out of date curb ramps, so the rule makes repaving much more expensive. The city's solution: stop repaving!
LA has stopped repaving our streets
The reason why is probably illegal

Ok here's something neat to me. I picked coffee cherries from a tree in my side yard and pulped, fermented, dried, and roasted them. I learned that coffee is hard work.

I picked this independent Pharmacy based on location between the workplace and home. With a little bit of thought—full time commuting has been an amazing joy in my life. Omaha, Nebraska. Oh and the temp currently at 50! Goodbye to a lot of ice patches!

Urban Arrow parents:
What do you do for child seating during the stage where they're too big for the car seat/adapter and not yet able to safely ride on the bench seat?
Are there different adapters or seats you're installing for this size/age period?

Bike, you say?
Taken on Couchsurfer at Graham Hills: a fun, flowy trail full of switchbacks.
If you live in NYC, Graham is only a 45 minute Metro North ride from the city, and then it’s a 10 minute bike ride to the trailhead.
