I'm stoked to have been invited to talk about @strongtowns-carmel.bsky.social on this podcast with @bthibbs.bsky.social!

I love this post from @americanfietser.bsky.social on using guidance from @dutchcycling.nl to make Carmel an even better place to walk, bike, and roll: strongtownscarmel.org/blog/designi...

I'm excited to help grow the @strongtowns.org conversation in Carmel. Maybe you'll join us in advocating for everything from safe streets to bottom-up development?

Inspiring thoughts from a member of our local Strong Towns group on building a better Carmel — one that is attainable for all

My annual Festive Lights and Cycling video is on-line now. There will be one more post on Christmas Day with the 2024-recap. Enjoy!

How we move through urban environments shapes how we experience life. One path fosters connection and awareness, the other disconnects, isolates, and distracts.
