Monthly allergy shots by bike. There are no bike racks on this car-free side of the building, but the bench works.

What a great week for the PHE Bike Bus! 121 bikes/scooters parked around the school on Wednesday and 156 today! We got a bunch of racks last year, but are already in need of more. A good problem to have!

Driver entitlement isn't new but @goingdutchdenver.bsky.social's use of cones should show DOTs the best way to enforce good driving is with barriers that stop bad driving without debate

Distracted drivers, defiant parents: Denver’s crossing guards get de-escalation training
Angry or inattentive drivers pose big risks around schools, but this DPS fleet juggles busy intersections and gaggles of kids twice a day.

Covid & Flu vaccines by bike. Lots of car parking, but not a single bike rack. Car-centric infrastructure all but mandates driving instead of giving people the freedom to choose how they get around.

Our neighbor school has started doing more of their own traffic calming. It’s great to see this tactical urbanism being employed, but frustrating that A. it’s needed at all and B. not being implemented by the city. It really does take a village.

Time for my annual mammogram bike parking appreciation post. Secure and well-spaced racks near the entrance in a visible but shady spot. Every health center should have similar healthy lifestyle promoting amenities.

This busy school intersection is designated “No Stopping Any Time” for an important reason. Hindering visibility at crosswalks endangers everyone - particularly our most vulnerable road users. We need physical elements to restrict parking and daylight crossings because signs will never be enough.

Do you know what works better than hi-viz to help you see bicyclists? Drivers actually stopping at stop signs and looking.

I had a lovely chat with this lady at the grocery store after she told me “Boy, do I miss riding a bicycle.” Ignore the “avid cyclist” who rail against change. Instead, realize it’s these people whom we are failing by not providing safe and connected non-car transportation options.

Last night, we were reminded why we fight for safe streets. Alexis Bounds was killed by a truck driver 6 years ago. A tragic and preventable loss. The Alexis Bounds S Marion Pkwy Protected Bikeway, built after her death, is dedicated to her memory and to the sacrifice no one should have to make.

If you think protected bike infrastructure is expensive, wait until you find out how much car-centric streets cost - both in terms of money and in lives.
Hundreds come together for memorial ride to honor bicyclist killed in 2019, call for more protected bike lanes
Hundreds of bicyclists met at the intersection of South Marion Street Parkway and Bayaud Avenue in Denver Tuesday night to remember the life of Alexis Bounds.

Matinee by bike. Gotta love being able to park a few feet from the entrance just minutes before the movie begins even though the bike racks were full. 💪
