The ultimate "I biked in this"
Congrats to Jessika & Bryce, who rode off from their wedding into the distance on a CargoB last month! We love that we could be a small part of their big day!

Day started out sunny but ended up kinda gray! No matter—creating a new outfit and getting on the bike always makes me happy.

Today I learned that there are bike helmets for dogs.

Love seeing how many people are riding with their kids these days!

Love it when a car is parked in the bike lane AND the driver almost doors me.

This is brilliant.

Part of the reason I started this account.
There is a very small, very strange minority of cyclists who think more people should cycle but also seem to think it should be some sort of punishment and refuse to see that making no concession to comfort or joy does not make people who don't already cycle want to give it a go.

​A message from Mrs. American Fietser:

​Yes, you can be 7 months pregnant.
Yes, you can get dressed up for dinner.
And yes, you can ride your bike to get there.

“I worry about you riding at night” honey I mostly get almost hit in broad daylight by distracted/reckless/inattentive drivers.

Nice day for a ride to the lake. In short sleeves, even.

Is a Divvy membership worth it? I have like 5 bikes but I've used it a few times in the last few months. And I was thinking about taking an ebike downtown tonight, but I'll probably wimp out and take the train, since it's like an hour.

Just like people ride as much as is comfortable/realistic for them, I also encourage people to wear what works for their biking habits. If you wanna wear performance gear and change at work, go for it! Others like to roll in a suit. There are no rules here.
Yes, it's crazy how folks can turn cycling fashion into something divisive. We're all riding bikes, that's what counts.

In honor of my first <30ºF bike commute of the season, let's talk about how to stay warm in the 20s, 10s, and even 0s.

For years I biked for transit in Boston 9 months a year, pausing in winter – but one year I decided to just keep going. So can you!

Here are some tips 👇🏻, please share yours too!

It snowed! But the streets were clear enough for me to bike to an appointment in the afternoon. 35 degrees—not too bad! I just bundled up in long underwear, a heavy sweater, wool scarf, and a parka. If I were riding far, this might have actually been too warm.

This is a good article, worth reading.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?

The anti-smoking playbook is worth studying and learning from, and is completely applicable to oversized cars.

There was a period in high school and college where I only wore black. I wasn’t a goth, but it’s what I felt most comfortable in. Every once in a while I still feel that way.

A lot of my friends don't realize I have a car, which is pretty awesome. (It sits on the street 95% of the time and is a 2008 Honda, anyone giving me a hard time will be blocked.)

Bike style done right ⬇️⬇️⬇️
@ibikedinthis.bsky.social IDK if you inspired me to wear this while biking, but you definitely inspired me to document it. As you can see, I threw on a wool sweater after the show and swapped shoes for the bulk of the ride (the main photo is after biking the three blocks from the restaurant).

It has gotten much worst since 2020, and I’d like you to imagine what it’s like for road cyclists. 😟
question from someone who hasn’t been driving for that long: have there always been a sizable amount of raged-out motorists who tailgate, flip off and aggressively right-pass people who are merely not driving as fast as they want them to or has that increased in recent years?
