Before and after the traverse with my Brompton

I was sweaty and dirty from bouldering, balance beam walking on logs and ducking under fallen trees.

Mudslide PSA!

There is a 50-100k ton(?) mudslide on the Historic Columbia River Highway trail between Cascade Locks and Eagle Creek. This made for a crazy hike-a-bike.

Colin's prognosis was 2 years and he lived for 8.

During that time, he got married and had a baby. Now we have a little version of him to watch as he grows up.

I feel fortunate to live in a right to die state.

My good friend who gifted me this Bianchi for cyclocross, ended his ALS journey last Saturday. Our family got to say good-bye to him and tell him how much he changed our life.

Meet Dave Cowan, a rad dad from Minneapolis who has invested a career in active transportation and @saferoutespartners.bsky.social.

He graced us with his presence this week and I look forward to returning this favor this October for the National Safe Routes Conference in MPLS.

I was a line dancer on stage for the '94 Superbowl show.

Oh, to be a human sugarcane bundle for Bad Bunny! What a show.

Special thanks to @djjohnrichards.bsky.social and KEXP for the best walking song to serenade our Winter Walk to School. "Radio Clash" had us skipping to school at 7am.

This is something that I would love to create for both Safe Routes to School and Bikabout.

What do you need it for? I can prioritize it.

Well, we need to share a beer next time I am in town, maybe in a couple weeks.

I am known for impromptu invites, right @amendez.bsky.social?

"Letting parents be parents and kids be kids"

For the 3rd year in a row, I testified why #Oregon should lower the legal age to ride a class 1, pedal assist E-bike, from 16 to 12 years old.

Prepare for a Sconnie accent.

The Guaycura Hotel in Todos Santos had bikes for guests to use and we rented mountain bikes in La Ventana to experience the El Sargento system, which I later found out was funded by the Waltons and designed by my local dad advocate friend. 5/x

Did my 2nd wing foiling camp.

The first picture is of Ava, a young girl who grew up outside Madison (we bonded). Watching her jump up 20 feet in the air and make it look effortless gave me serious life goals...2/x

I feel pretty lucky to have experienced a mid-winter week in Baja.

The primary purpose was yoga, but also... 1/x

Also, Happy #TaterTotDay!

The reward for walking to school was hot chocolate, warm tots and coffee for the parents.

My amazing race today was a good one.

It involved a rental car, Trimet, e-Brompton and the CAT bus home. There was a moment on Trimet where the train was stopped for an extended period and I made the connecting bus with seconds to spare...
