What a great theme for a #BikeBus special ride! Sounds like it was a fun day with this big peloton of kids riding together on quiet road, with costumes and some decorations.

Reminder: Organizing a bike bus at an elementary school will result in more kids bicycling to school.

It’s a hatrick if you donate $10 or more to @bikebusworld.bsky.social . First, you get stickers, next you support an amazing nonprofit & last I find it very therapeutic putting these letters together. Donate at BikeBusWorld.org & forward your receipt to [email protected] with your address.

This week if you make a donation of $10 or more @bikebusworld.bsky.social I will mail you stickers. Forward me your receipt with your mailing address to [email protected] Happy Bike Busing!!

Big news! Local nonprofit Families for Safe Streets (FSS) is working on a "Stop Super Speeders" bill, a law that would install speed limiting technology in cars of repeat offenders.

I interviewed FSS Board Chair Michelle DuBarry to learn more

Closing in on the end of #lifeaftercars from @thewaroncars.bsky.social and getting to the @rightlegpegged.bsky.social passage. Between him and @coachbalto.bsky.social we have produced some serious advocates here in #bospoli, aka happy town USA!

Even young kids can feel the difference between riding in a protected bike lane and riding without one.

Our children deserve better, and we should demand more.

Last year Adian reached out to Bike Bus World for one-to-one coaching. Fast forward to last month and I was riding in the Nevada City #BikeBus he created. The Bike Bus spirit is rolling into more communities every day.

4 people radicalized by parenting.

Last night's Life After Cars book talk at Powell's was another evening of church. Not surprising, "Cars Ruin Childhood" is my favorite chapter bc of the effectiveness of kids' voices and subversive joy.

This week I wrote about the rise of the e-bike dad - this piece was originally going to run alongside the story I did in September about the bike boom in general, and we didn't have space in print, but here it is:

They’re smug, snug and often faster than drivers

Bikeways should be safe enough for a middle schooler to ride home alone… and a toddler on a balance bike to stop and ride their bike through a pile of leaves.

We’ve had a lot of fun on book tour but nothing brought a smile to my face quite like the Bike Bus. What a treat to start our day this way!

We were interviewed by Lillian Karabaic @anomalily.net of @opb.org about our new book, Life After Cars, in advance of our live event at @powells.bsky.social on November 13th.
Is there life after cars? These authors rethink America’s car culture in new book
"Life After Cars" tackles our dependence on cars. The authors say America's car culture is not only unsustainable, it's also destroying our society and connections to one another.
