In a patriarchal, car-dominated world that rewards “masculine energy” it’s actually a wildly subversive act to be a women on a bike. I have been yelled at, pulled, told I’m risking my children’s lives, flipped off, and ignored. And yet the joy I feel out weighs it all. #bikes destroy #patriarchy.

It’s beyond politics. It’s truly about violent, repressive, and barbaric domination by a small group of authoritarians.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · Jul 3

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Awful. That type of thing is why we started bike bus! It’s social infrastructure for places where physical infrastructure creates potential traffic violence.

Bike Bus is awesome!

I hear you…but I also don’t think strong towns are ones led by anti-women’s rights white men.

Bike Jess @bikejess.bsky.social · Jul 1

Sounds patriarchal.

Bike Jess @bikejess.bsky.social · Jul 1

This is more than a disagreement. We live in a country in which women don’t have the same legal rights over their body that me . In which immigrants (and citizens) are being rounded up and disappeared. In which conservatives are taking away basic human rights. This is not what makes strong towns.

I jest with curb cuts only for Christian moms! :)

Build it and they will come.

Students in Montclair, NJ started a 'bike bus' riding to and from school together by the hundreds

Hundreds of students in Montclair, New Jersey, ride to school together in what they call a 'bike bus' as far as 5 miles.

True! Rather than shaming and shunning them, I’ve reached out to moms (and dads) of this ilk. We’ll get nowhere by polarizing blaming. Asking questions, inviting in, finding common ground—this is how we all win.

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.”

And it has kept growing from there.

Mothers on bikes are unstoppable. To my fellow women and gender fluid people—if you want to feel true liberation get on a bike. #motherhood #bikes #lfg #bikebaddies #bikebus
