After more than 40 years of riding bicycles, it’s an unsettling thrill and pleasure to learn how to balance again. Riding this #halfbike, which steers from the rear with its skateboard-like truck, I’ve slowly grown in confidence, even though it still throws me sometimes. Wanna try?

The #NoKings flag is flying tonight in NJ, VA, NYC, Boston, PA, CA (go #Prop50!) & around the country. A well-deserved sigh of relief to all before tomorrow’s battles!

I won’t say that I saw all this coming, but the sinister feeling that crept over me when I saw this front yard display last October, a few weeks before the election, was palpable.

Can someone help me figure out the math here? GOP reps complain that SNAP recipients are lazy, ripping off the government. But THEY are the ones not working while collecting over $100,000 every day on our dime, to the tune of almost $9,000,000 over the last few months.
That look about right?

No Kings on Sunday! 21-mile ride from San Jose, through Santa Clara and Sunnyvale and back again, via an early vote center to cast my Yes on 50 ballot.
Not a bad afternoon considering the state of the world 🗳️🇺🇸🌴🥥💙

Proud to ride in San Jose with We the People in the California Republic tonight, just down the road from Alameda, Oakland, and San Francisco, where trays of 🧊 sit in the freezer ready to spill all over the place.
Let’s turn up the 🔥!
