That guy on that bike in Middle TN.

I had no idea President Trump is running for Governor of Tennessee. I hear his name so frequently in all the other candidates commercials. Is there nothing that man can’t do?

#EveryoneN gameday, Baby; Nashville SC in the 2nd leg against Tigres in Monterrey. While moral victories are never enough, the boys in gold have out-performed all expectations in this tournament. They need a win, but at this point they are gambling with house money. LFG COYBIG!

Biking connects you to your city. You feel the sun, move your body, and actually experience your neighborhood. Cars do the exact opposite. They wall you off from the world, make streets dangerous, and shrink your entire community down to just point A and point B.

Car dependency is the US default, but when a city finally provides basic, safe infrastructure with efficient routes away from traffic violence, it creates possibilities. The freedom to leave the car at home and just run errands by bike is liberation.

What qualifies as a small pickup sure has changed over the years.

Hey give me some advice. I work in healthcare and have to work next Saturday, but I want to show solidarity with the No Kings folks. Is there something like an armband, etc that folks have adopted as a symbol? Thanks in advance.

If, instead of air bags, cars had some sort of device that would intentionally injure the driver, we’d all be better off. The industry has protected the occupants from the negative consequences of their actions, and we all pay the price.

Cities spend millions on plastic flex posts that get flattened in a week. Meanwhile, the cheapest, most effective design tool is a boulder. They protect people, enforce behavior, and actually survive doing their job.
