I _______ (sign your name),do not have a death wish because I rode a bicycle. I DID not have this coming for riding in the road. It’s NOT my fault for not wearing a helmet. I was there the whole time. If the media tries to paint a different picture, please show this document and clear my name.

Some people will say this REI ad was AI generated. I choose to believe that they have finally embraced the power of “reach around bars,” and acknowledged the bourgeois redundancy of having two pedals.

An ad from REI on instagram featuring a bike with garbled branding, drop bars coming off the back of the seat, and only one pedal/crank arm.

This is worth reading, for excellent communication & story-telling. “I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more. Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off...” #UrbanTruth From @irishtimes.com

I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more

Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off from the seasons and nature

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.
