Very true. I was at the St Louis aquarium the other day checking out an exhibit on coral reefs. They expressed that the reefs were in danger from climate change but the suggestions for individual action were just… frustrating. Care about coral reefs? STOP voting republican. Period.

Another day, another closed sidewalk with zero detours or thought whatsoever to what anyone outside a car might do here. I was told we should jump the sidewalk, ride the wrong way in the vehicle lane, and jump back up the sidewalk once we passed the closure. What if I was in a wheel chair?

Riding your bike to the grocery store… For those times when you really should go to the gym, you definitely need therapy, but you don’t really have time for either because you have too many errands to run.

Running errands is just a fun experience when you leave the car at home. Who needs therapy when you start the day like this?

In addition to being an advocate for better bike infrastructure, I’m also a teacher. I have a design lab class with some Glowforge laser engraving machines. I recently remanded all the machines to LoTR themes. Just made a new sticker label for the first one. I’ll be giggling about it all day.

If you asked me if I thought these people were doing a bang up job fighting the fascists I would have said “hell no, I have no idea what they are thinking!” That doesn’t mean I am going to support the fascists moving forward…

This kind of thing plus a handful of frozen veggies and a bit of hot sauce or chili crisp makes a tasty and ridiculously easy meal.

Believe it or not, it isn’t the scope of the job that pushes people to choose the car for their daily errands. What makes people shy away from bikes is the inhospitable environment they face when NOT in a car.

My son and I rode our bikes down to the local pizza joint for dinner while the girls are in New York. Ebikes make evening more fun. Our little town (Castle Rock) is growing fast and lots of the old timers are very concerned about parking. We always get the best spots!

Huh… apparently building a mixed use development in the central part of town on the site of an old brick factory actually encourages habitat destruction because it will, checks notes, bring more people to the area and encourage them to move out into sprawling developments…

Living in the burbs is not the best choice when it comes to an eco-friendly lifestyle, but if you are there, one thing you can do it ditch the grass and create habitat for all the birds, bees, and bugs in your neighborhood

Hadn’t really heard of this… but focusing on the mastery of standards over checking boxes is a good thing.
