Hi @311DCgov this trash pile has been slowly dissolving at z curve of #BranchTrail for about a week. I've seen @NoMaBID ambassadors taking pics of it too. Can we please get a cleanup? Metro Branch Trail just past M St NE
9yo: I don't want to get a car. When I'm old enough to drive will you get me my own ebike? I'm so down. Can we make this the new rite of passage y'all?? #bikedc #freerange
Oh God I want so badly to have a great idea here but how can you beat vern the tern?????
I know y'all know but click to sign #bikedc @MayorBowser's decision to remove protected bike lanes from the Connecticut Ave safety projects goes against the District's own safety and climate goals. Join me in signing this petition: p2a.co/NF1OtgL
IMPORTANT: If you have kids in a DC public or charter school, please complete this @DDOTDC survey about safe routes to school. Complete once per child!! #bikedc survey.alchemer.com/s3/7718647/DC-…
9yo: If you can't keep your hands to yourself you'll have to ride your own bike 5yo: If you follow directions and get ready on time you can ride your own bike 2yo: YOU ARE TWO. NO YOU CANNOT RIDE YOUR BIKE ON THE ROAD STOP ASKING🤣🤣🤣
Googling "when is the eclipse" at noon is my level of event planning
DC is full of stories like this: contracts, appointments, waived fines… There are almost always political donations behind it. DC residents pay the price with poorly-run programs and wasted public funds. But with a reduced local press, most stories never see the light of day.

Ok haters you win. I have discovered a type of weather in which I did not especially enjoy my bike ride and it is: Large hailstones on my face! Fortunately I think the solution is probably a wider brimmed hat..... not 2000 lbs of steel #bikedc #notmadeofsugar
I feel like I am probably ineligible but I WANT IT SO BAD

@DCTrikeMom @LhasaCM @randomduck Exactly. It's not about ebikes- it's about infrastructure
@DCTrikeMom @randomduck @BikeGillian And as I think you know, I am conveniently located near the MBT, so I'm sure we could figure out a time for a garage tour/test ride :)
@DCTrikeMom @randomduck @BikeGillian Given her attachment to the couch, we might have to figure out something sooner... :)
Nothing better than grandparents & grandkids riding bikes together. 🚲 ❤️ My dad inspired my love of bikes from an early age & I love seeing him connect with my kids in this way too. He insists on having bikes in the kids’ size so they always have a bike to use when they visit
@DCTrikeMom Oh hell yes. My kids know I wouldn’t buy them a car. I will buy them an ebike if they want. Right now the teen is fine with regular bike and bus
@DCTrikeMom @randomduck @BikeGillian And on the flip side - my Specialized bike is very configurable in the app in terms of the assist levels (e.g., "sport mode" means x% boost), but not in terms of the top assisted speed. I wonder to what extent "regulations" keep that under lock and key...
@DCTrikeMom @randomduck @BikeGillian My Priority Current has that as well (user configurable assist; can block it behind a rudimentary pin). Another benefit of the Woom Up, besides the assist level, is the usual you get from Woom with kid-centric geometry (shorter reach for the brake levers, etc.)
@DCTrikeMom @BikeGillian *Officially* in DC, anyone riding an e-bike should be at least 16 per 18 DCMR §1200.10. Unofficially of course, nothing is ever enforced. For our daughter at 11, the price is insane, but I really liked the Woom Up because the assist stops at 12mph, so harder to be risky.
@DCTrikeMom I'm so in on this as the new transportation right of passage! My 9 yo is already trying to convince me she needs an ebike 11 says he's happy with public transit, unless I'm willing to bike him everywhere. Actually riding a bike takes away from his reading time apparently 🤣
@DCTrikeMom My 13 yo ebikes to middle school, just a block from the Arlington loop
@DCTrikeMom my 6 year old said she didn't want a car, just a bike, the other day and i was so proud. <3
@DCTrikeMom With the direction Milwaukee is going, I think there’s a solid chance that my child will have multiple high schools on either protected bike lanes or calmed streets. I am fully prepared to buy her an ebike at 14 instead of a car at 16.
@austeni His victims are living and have not received justice. It burdens a bruised reed to display abusers’ art and let it become a barrier to the sacraments. Both for the sisters seeking justice, and for other abuse victims who cannot trust the Church to hear their cry.
Adding my neighbor’s awesome trike to this thread. She can’t walk far, but is able to take her dog for exercise & complete errands with her trike.
I love seeing all of the adaptive bikes folks are using in Minneapolis. Here are a few that my GoPro picked up from a ride on Saturday. 🚲 ❤️
Every fucking day. Unfortunately, I am really good at not fucking off & we get to have fun while we do it.
@CoachBalto Hi Sam Have you considered fucking off and letting adults do what they do?
@MtVernonFriends I suggest “Barbara Ellen” in honor of Ellen Pickering and Barbara Lynch.

For my ebike-curious followers, I feel compelled to highlight the Cero One sale. Unreal price for a high-end motor, belt drive, and internally-geared hub. Perfect especially for people who aren't carrying a kid (which it will do, but only until ~4 or 5) cero.bike/pages/cero-one
