I created and run the 37,000 strong MicromobilityNYC community, including organizing many of the marches for congestion pricing in NYC. We're doing culture shift and movement building.

Sometimes people ask why I and others make content for social media. This vid I made after a 7 year old girl was killed basically started the daylighting movement in NYC. A few hrs of my time, and it will end saving countless lives. The power of advocacy to change culture and streets is real. Use it

I wasn't planning on releasing us just chatting like this, was really just shooting b-roll, but these guys are too fun not to do a Mystery Science Theater reaction vid.

We've really got to rebrand complaining about something as minor and standard as bikes lanes as truly deranged lunatic behavior.

Some losers are bitching about the Court St bike lane that is under construction, per usual. I've lost all patience with these people. Let's check out the reality on the ground with @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and @sgoodyear.bsky.social

That's the fun part. They don't have one. Get fat and die.

If you're 40+ and you don't ride your bike around town what even is your plan for healthy aging?

I just don't understand older people who hate bike lanes.

Got a chance to chat with Doug and Sarah from @thewaroncars.bsky.social this morning. They've got a new book that goes beyond even their best in class podcast

“Are you going to go or not” lady yells 20x after I put her a timeout for driving in the 11th Ave bike lane.

This meme format might have legs. The version with our crack loving friend Rob Ford (of "war on cars" fame) is surging into one the top posts on all of reddit today

Ebikes AREN'T a growing safety concern. They get people out of cars, which makes things far safer. Ffs

What were all these Republicans who are embracing fascism doing when watching TV or movies over the last 6 decades? Getting pissed when the Nazis were the bad guys in Schindler's List? Rooting for the Empire in Star Wars? Is this why they were always mad at Hollywood?

I'm sick of conservatives attacking cities. The difference between reality and rhetoric is so wild

Miser @misernyc.bsky.social · 4d

What in the fuck. Can you post this to our reddit sub?

Miser @misernyc.bsky.social · 4d

Call me crazy, but I think public space should actually benefit schools, the kids that live in the city, and residents

It's not "cheating" because we're not in a competition. Any cyclist that thinks otherwise needs to grow the fuck up

Instead of fighting to stop universal daylighting, DOT should embrace it and just publish the list of intersections they will give a raised crosswalk to prevent any speeding from clear sight lines.

Make it a "yes-and" instead of a "no-never-take-away-parking"

If you're wondering how basic morality is going down on Staten Island: in the morning a woman is brutally killed by a driver. In the afternoon the Borough President holds a presser to defend driver privilege over pedestrian safety

This isn't a gotcha question: are Republicans just pro-pedophilia now as a result of Trump being in the Epstein files?

Miser @misernyc.bsky.social · 7d

Are crosswalks for pedestrians, or overflow parking for degenerate businesses -- an actual question before the courts right now on 31st st!

Gale Brewer has made it clear the priority on UWS streets is 100% cars and car parking. So here are some helpful tips for pedestrians

Imagine if during the Civil War, instead of Lincoln and the Union, The Confederacy controlled all three branches of government, virtually all the media was Confederate propaganda, and the slaveholders had all the money after decades of class warfare and and robing of the middle classes

Sunglasses to separate you interpersonally from others inside a giant truck to separate you while you move through the world to your separated house in the suburbs. The aesthetics of being a pussy

Imagine if the pedestrian priority of 34th Ave were the *default* for NYC streets instead of the ultra-rare exception

I don't think liberals actually understand what's going on here. I worked for a week on a job once with a company that basically only hired Republicans. Every single one of them to a man thought that Portland had practically burned to the ground during the George Floyd events. I mean like all of it

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.'"

Almost ... a glimmer ... "am I in an anti-reality bubble populated by sycophants?" ... and gone.

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."
