Camberville finally has some trail-oriented retail… and no trail. @cornhundred.bsky.social tipped us off to Art’s Creamery (so good!), open for two months next to the Community Path which has been closed for nine-ish months. Stop by and support them during what must be a tough opening season.

Naysayers re: biking for transportation in Minneapolis: “This isn’t Amsterdam.” Minneapolis parents: “So what? We’ll make our own version.”

Car brained leaders and NIMBYs like to portray bike and safe streets advocates as some tiny group of extremist elites and videos like this are a good reminder of just how many of us are out there fighting for our lives.

Someone tried to insult me by saying I'm "stanning for e-bikes" and yeah buddy, I am wholeheartedly championing a revolutionary form of transportation that is making biking more accessible and enabling people to drive their cars less

She can duck and weave, but Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. She’s responsible for overseeing the appropriations process, including funding for ICE. Collins voted in favor of providing $70 billion in additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Vote her out.

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

Every cyclist death is heartbreaking, but it hits even harder when it's an advocate like this. It's infuriating and saddening. These deaths, especially on roads that are known to be dangerous, are simply policy choices.

A cycling advocate and transportation planner for the city of Boston was identified as the cyclist who was struck and killed in a crash near Roxbury Crossing this morning.

The takeaway for cities: “The best bang for your buck is protected bike lanes,” Moran told Bike Talk‘s Nick Richert. “Really focus on bike infrastructure that’s protected. That’s how you grow ridership. That’s how you diversify ridership.” sf.streetsblog.org/2026/07/08/s...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”

To answer everyone's question: Yes, this is bad for the suit, as water can shrink the different layers inside at different rates (face cloth, haircloth, canvas, and padding). If this happens, the damage can't be reversed. That said, I admire his commitment to wearing a suit at all times.

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

Pro Tip: Go to every event, extra curricular, school trip you can, do whatever it takes to make that happen. Tuck them in even though you’re tired, play with with them even though you’re busy, hug them even though you’re mad as hell. talk to them even if you’re spent - it goes by so goddamn fast.

Mamdani on Knicks watch parties: "This city is unique is that you can walk across the city. You can actually be outside and not have to drive everywhere, and part of that does give rise to these opportunities to be with people who you don't even know, never met."
