Riding a bike is healthy.
Riding with friends is fun.
Riding in groups builds community.

A key difference between people on bikes and those in cars is that people on bikes are usually happy to see others riding bikes, whereas those in cars often rage at other people in cars.

"The single most important behaviour, design or regulation for creating streets conducive to walking and cycling, was physical separation between the modes"

We've got a new study out, learning from a broad mixture of street users, planners and designers

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Highlights For marginalised street users mode separation is the key to human-scale movement. Streets conducive to walking and cycling have functional, safe and accessible design. Professionals must approach street design, regulation and user behaviour holistically. Combinations of influencing factors persuade people to either use or avoid a street. There are no easy fixes to the public realm that will work for all non-drivers.

I'm telling y'all, the greatest gift we can give this nation right now is self-control. Deny the regime a victory here. We must regulate and realize our power comes from staying calm and focused: refusing to let them manipulate our emotions and incite violence. Calm, focused, regulated. We got this.

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said.

Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%.

Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer.

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

Go outside tomorrow PDX. Take a bike ride, or walk with the people you ❤️, or make new friends on one of many rides on the @shift2bikes.bsky.social calendar.

Breathe, move, enjoy being outside with other people.

(Our #BikeBuddy program is always looking for mentors & people new to everyday biking.)

In Portland, the act of riding a bike is an excellent way of being outside, observing life, and being completely present in public space.

Riding with other people builds friendships + builds communities of trust.

Be well. Be strong. Bike with a buddy Portland! 🚲❤️
