Bikes not cars. Peace not war. Simplicity. Sustainability. For work, I fix stuff and make it greener.
Rep. Neguse shook my hand during a protest earlier this year in downtown Boulder. He was walking right down the edge of Broadway between cars and the sidewalk, thanking us all for coming out to resist. Sir, you have my vote and my gratitude for your tireless service.
At a time when performative politics has become the norm, we’ve tried to do something different:
To show up — everywhere.
To listen.
And to deliver results.
We hosted events in 50 different cities this year — including yesterday in Timnath.
And we’re just getting started!

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park.
Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through.
The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW.
Absolutely outrageous.

Boulder’s explicit traffic safety signs are the latest real-looking fakes on Colorado roads
Several of the signs were concentrated along 28th Street, a busy north-south thoroughfare that the city has identified as being particularly dangerous.
