Last night was radiant. 100 glowing souls cycled around Philadelphia and paused in the prettiest spots. Many thanks to the Circuit Trails Coalition for the excellent pre-party - certainly the first time we had tacos, drinks and a bike valet at our meet-up spot. 📸 by Stefan, Karen, Alec (I think)

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

Rails-to-trails paths can transform cities, turning former train corridors into utilitarian bike highways. If you're fortunate to have one cutting through your city, it becomes a peaceful, efficient route for errands, shielding you from the chaos cars bring to urban life.
