The rain is almost here! Let's ride bikes! We had the whole skate park to ourselves! ๐Ÿ˜Ž We've only been out on these bikes a few times and it's been months due to rain. I was practicing dropping in and getting out of the bowl and almost have it down! ๐Ÿคฉ

A friend made this route for my Medford visit! It was a lot of climbing with temps in the 90's but the downhill was SO nice! The few people that I saw in cars gave plenty of room when passing on the rural roads. Nice ride! #Medford

Here's the car storage scene at 4pm on a sunny and warm Saturday afternoon. The bike lane isn't the problem. There are no people here! (Misquoted the cost in the video. It's $1M not "millions")

Biking in Medford during a work trip. City Council decided to remove this 2-way parking protected bike lane because "car parking" even though the number of automobile storage spaces didn't change. Also, the city must repay the $1M state grant that was used to install it! kobi5.com/news/top-sto...

No school yesterday, so the kiddo biked to work with me! 13 miles with 800 feet of elevation gain. She's a climber! The SW Portland hills are tough!

10 years ago I would have driven a giant dirty diesel pickup truck to the library to transport my kiddo and these books. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ It's only a 3 mile round trip! And easy task on an e-bike. #OneLessTruck

You really can vote without bringing a car with you! 4 mile round trip to the ballot box and the kiddo hit 900 miles on her bike odometer! ๐Ÿคฉ

The morning commute was a little wet. At least I wasn't stuck in a multi-ton metal box! Me passing 225 people in 150 cars. I passed even more as I biked on side streets skirting Interstate 5. #SeeYa ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ Cars=least efficient way to move people through a city. Yes, even electric cars.

Bike Beaverton event last weekend! We volunteered with @ridewestside.bsky.social and @wta-tma.org to show folks how to replace car and truck trips with bicycles. It was good to see so many kids on bikes! #Beaverton #BikeBeaverton

HEY! WE MADE IT! Day 30 of #30DaysOfBiking Why sit in a car when your morning commute could look like this? I took a different route this morning. It did not disappoint. ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿ˜โ™’๏ธ

Day 29 of #30DaysOfBiking I was thinking about buying a Park Tools stool until I saw the price tag of $160. "I'll just keep an eye out at the thrift store" I told my coworker. On my ride home, the curb provided what I needed. Free stool! @nomadpatches.bsky.social #TheCurbShallProvide

Day 25 of #30DaysOfBiking Back in the day, you didn't need air conditioning in Portland, OR. With climate change here, summers are hotter with more extreme weather events. My new apartment doesn't have AC, so I'm getting ready for the brutal summer that is approaching. AC by bike! + other errands.

Although most traffic noise comes from the tires of vehicles, our built environment also contributes to noise pollution for cars. (Electric or gas powered) This was part of the Oregon Active Transportation Summit. Note the difference in the car-free plaza. #OATS #OATS2026 #CarsRuinCities
