High school students in Hood River want a safe route to school and I'm helping them advocate for one. I told them we need to show desire to leaders so they surveyed their cohorts. Respondents were entered in an (e)bike raffle - here is our first 2 winners. Lucky ducks.
This might be one of the best compliment. But what this comes down to is, be the change you want to see in the world. I wanted to create more opportunities for physical activity, joy, community & active transportation. #BikeBus #ActiveTransportation #Education

@PedalLove @Visionzeronet @BayAreaFSS @MasonBikedude @AndreaLearned Just took the @PedalLove survey on sustainable streets! Let's beat their 52-response record. Why is safe cycling important to you? #SustainableStreets #CycleSafe #GoGreen
Safe + sustainable street advocates! Our new survey is live. It just takes 4 minutes to complete. Pls share! We'd love to beat 52 responses for the last portion. Find it here: forms.gle/QH9rVePMnoPXmA… cc: @Visionzeronet @BayAreaFSS @MasonBikedude @AndreaLearned
As of today, any Coloradan can walk into a bike shop and instantly get $450 off an e-bike. No race to get a voucher, no income limits, no waiting to claim a tax credit. It's the first such program in the nation. energyoffice.colorado.gov/press-releases…
As I told @NBCNews: "If we’re serious about reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, we have to be serious about reducing the main source of [transportation] emissions, which come from cars & trucks." “We need to rethink how much we want to expand highways.” nbcnews.com/science/enviro…
*sigh* It seems that, in an attempt to counter consumer concerns about power and range, #EV advertising has gone all in on advertising that further sells speed, dominance, and false promises of traffic-free roads. Sure would love if we regulated this stuff.
A HUGE thank you to @ElleryKlein @Visionzeronet @BikeDurham @LosAngelesWalks + the 52 other generous souls who took Part I of our 2024 Communications Survey. Part II is live now - it's just takes 4 minutes (or less) to share your thoughts: forms.gle/E7cXVJdhTSGS2o… Pls share!
Why do we make traffic calming so complicated?? It seems like in America that we are too “rich” to do cheap things but end up doing nothing.

Pictured: part of my bike commute to an active transportation advisory panel meeting. Lovely and relaxing. Not pictured: several sketchy intersections and on-street bike lanes I had to navigate to get on and off this path. YOUR NETWORK IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS WEAKEST LINKS.
A horrific crash claimed the lives of 6 road workers on the Maryland beltway. I'm not talking about the Key Bridge collapse. I'm talking about the 6 *other* workers who were killed a year ago by a driver—and why we treat the two disasters so differently. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/03/28/why…

still down in Grants Pass w my dad in hospital (he''s taking a nap, which is great). It's day 5 now & routines are setting in. Not sure when I will get back to Portland or how much I will do @BikePortland this week. Probably mid-week but we'll see.
they've actually traced back to the specific village where our relatives came from before coming to Canada - pretty incredible.
my family is in China and just rode a high speed train that covered 1100kms in about 4 hours.
@Henryz_mom Thats a technique for dismissing a suggestion by invalidating it. There’s always going to be a difference. Our town is smaller than NYC, or our buildings are shorter, or our weather is different. Return to the basics. Cars hit people. There are easy ways to avoid it
@Henryz_mom I have 3 thoughts 1) the changes made in Hoboken are absolutely scalable as it is essentially a series of point interventions 2) those interventions were in support of a larger objective 3) if folks think Portland can't be conquered as a whole - attack it by zones
I sit on a pedestrian advisory committee. We were discussing Portland’s road fatality crisis. Some in the group seemed dismissive of learning from Hoboken because Hoboken is a smaller city. Thoughts?
A new study finds that a particle within vehicle exhaust can cause Alzheimer's disease. The more we learn about cars' impact on public health, the worse it seems to be. uts.edu.au/news/health-sc…
New study finds that exurban residents drive more and walk less than those living closer to central cities -- and they have higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, and other cardio risks. Land use, transportation, and health are inextricably linked. doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.…
If Vision Zero programs were fully funded to ensure they eliminate road fatalities, cities might come out ahead financially w/ reduced need for emergency & police response, fewer road closures, safer streets incentivizing cycling and walking so less wear and tear.
High school students in Hood River want a safe route to school and I'm helping them advocate for one. I told them we need to show desire to leaders so they surveyed their cohorts. Respondents were entered in an (e)bike raffle - here is our first 2 winners. Lucky ducks.
@Henryz_mom In India they seem to go on the interstates and everything. That wouldn't be allowed in the US I don't think...
@Henryz_mom I think they will come. This video is about Velo-taxi operation in Paris.
I am a little surprised electric rickshaws aren’t appearing in every major US city. As an alternative to Lyft and Uber
More than half the rickshaws sold in India are now electric. restofworld.org/2024/e-ricksha…
