With gas prices soaring, some people might search for cheaper transportation options. In many cites, a bicycle is a cheap and easy way to get around gas free. Give it a try.

This passage of Cosmos came to mind while I was watching Pete Hegseth strut across the stage at the Pentagon yesterday.

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

Client Challenge

How many billions of dollars in lost revenue because we insist on preserving MSP's in-town highways? It's absurd. Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, hey @mndot.mn.gov, pause the #RethinkingI94 project and redesign the transportation network to support new homes and jobs!

Trump Announces He Is Replacing Noem With Oklahoma Senator

The correct headline would be Trump says he is nominating MWM to replace - pending senate approval.

Laura’s 2 kids sit in the cargo bike with one neighbor friend, on their way to pick up another. The bikelane they’re in is a 2 way curb protected lane. The bike has a rain cover on it with some rain drops on the top

The neighbor kids got to experience our rain cover for the first time today.

I had the rainbow led strip lights on, too. Only the best for these kids.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

Boy, 4, killed in hit-and-run tragedy β€” police launch manhunt for driver The NYPD is searching for the SUV driver who struck and killed a 4-year-old boy in Brooklyn on Thursday morning and took off.

Even if we're to believe that the kid "ran from his mom and into the street before he was hit," as the cops claim, we need streets that allow kids to be kids. As @sgoodyear.bsky.social says, children "dart." That's what they do. Lower speed limits enforced by design would prevent these tragedies.

The average price of a new car is 50k. There is no new car under 20. Gas is up 11% in one week.

Ride a bike.

On this day in 1981, New Order released their debut single β€œCeremony”

The song and B-side were written & recorded as Joy Division prior to the death of Ian Curtis. Both were re-recorded & carried over to Joy Division's re-formation under the name New Order.

The rest is history.

If I remember correctly, it was a Nice Ride that Amber pedalled?

This is one of the most fascinating and maybe important conversations I've heard recently about transition. It's already infused in our energy debates, although very rarely acknowledged. So glad David and @gruberte.bsky.social did a pod cause the paper is still in my tabs.

There will never be a bell loud enough a helmet strong enough or clothing bright enough to make up for poor infrastructure

Enough.

Flashback to our billboard we did with the good people at @visionzerovancouver.ca this past Fall. Was incredible to see these messages out in the world.

How we design streets determines what's possible re: our relationship to outdoors, community, & health.

Thanks to @minneapolismn.gov for protected bike lanes on 26th & 28th Streets that made this trip feel safe & therefore a real option. 1/3

If you think this common sense tool should be legal everywhere in Minnesota, please consider donating to support our advocacy and education work. Our work paved the way for the auto-enforcement pilot project and is the way to expand this to help all Minnesotans

Speeding down 30% in Minneapolis where cameras were installed The city will begin ticketing drivers starting Friday after giving out warnings during the first month speed cameras were active.

30% is huge. This pilot is a massive success. It's time for it to be an option in every community in the state.
