Bike Fun

Bike Fun creates joyful bicycle riders in Middle Tennessee through classes, workshops, events, & one-on-one lessons. Find us at nashvillebikefun.org.
E-bikes give people affordable, clean transportation. If kids are getting hit by pickup trucks, the answer isn’t to treat e-bikes like the problem; it’s protected bike lanes, safer crossings, lower traffic speeds, and infrastructure that keeps everyone separated from multi-ton vehicles.
Sunday August 9th in Bellevue - 13-17 year old Learn to Ride class! 📅 Sunday, August 9th 4-6PM 📍 Bellevue UMC, Nashville TN 37221 🌐 nashvillebikefun.org/event/13-17-... 💲 Sliding scale registration fee 🚲 Don't have a bike? we can provide one to use during the class at no extra charge
Hostile Architecture: Ruining or removing benches to reduce the risk of poor people sleeping. Traffic Calming: Expensive and gentle nudges for rich people to slow down and reduce how often they kill people with their cars. What if, for safety and comfort in public, we flipped the priorities?
Registration is OPEN & we want at least 5 more registrants! Bike, helmet provided if needed. events.humanitix.com/all-ages-lea... cc @walkbikenashville.bsky.social @bikeleague.org @cycling.city @urbaneastnash.bsky.social

Satuday August 29th! Streets are for families!
Robin@jesusurbanist.bsky.social · 2w agoThe people have spoken. I'll see you and your babies there. (the entire city is invited.)
Also: People who oppose sidewalks and bike lanes: the community People who support sidewalks and bike lanes: advocates
The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 2w agoA theme here is that if a person inside city government intervenes on behalf of a restaurant losing parking spots or a random driver getting a parking ticket, that's seen as constituent services. If another government insider works on behalf of keeping people alive, that's seen as advocacy.
🚨 JUST SCHEDULED 🚨 13-17 year old Learn to Ride will be in Bellevue in August! Do you know a teenager who never quite got comfortable riding a bike - or never learned at all? We can help! 📅 Sunday, August 9th 4-6PM 📍 Bellevue UMC, Nashville TN 37221 🌐 nashvillebikefun.org/events for info
Yes, the debate over East Bank Boulevard is still going on. The Metro Planning Commission will soon consider an amendment to the Major and Collector Street Plan that will create the framework for the types of streets we can expect to see in Wasioto Bend. www.nashvillepost.com/politics/met...

This is an appreciation post for those of you who don't bike/walk yourselves but support safety improvements for other reasons - solidarity, community mindedness, or you just don't want to hit someone with your car. I see you!

(gettyarchive) From 1976, a child pedalling his bicycle, with one cat in a basket and two others on scooters tied to the back wheel, along a road in Central Park, New York.
Update on the #LEGO Road Bike: Building it took up most of the morning and was really fun. It's nice to see how LEGO used very specific existing parts for this bike, like dragon horns from the Ninjago sets for the handlebars and minifigure hockey sticks to form the rails on the saddle.
De Filmende Fietser@filmendefietser.eurosky.social · 3w agoI wasn't planning to buy a new bike today. But I wasn't planning to visit the LEGO store either. Things happen. 😄 Now please don't bother me this weekend! #LEGO #LEGOIcons #NewBikeDay
Your friendly neighborhood car dependency researcher here. If we want to get people out of car dependency, we need to let people who are car dependent talk to us about what's keeping them in car dependency. It's really not enough to say, "you should be less dependent on your car" I've tried.
📆 Sunday July 19th 🕓️ 4-6PM (meet by 3:45ish, roll by 4:15 for group bike rides for families and adults) 🕔️ 5PM - time for 🍨 & games Need a 🚲? We can help! A limited number of bikes are available (RSVP link in next post) - kids sizes can be requested, too! (Get requests in by Friday July 17th.)

Someone smarter than me can explain how we went from a score of 27 to 36 in one year. That map with "low stress" and "high stress" routes shows a lot of low stress routes that appear to be just residential streets. @jeguth.bsky.social @charlieweingartner.bsky.social @walkbikenashville.bsky.social

Remember the beautiful life of Riley O’Neil. #Chicago
Be careful riding your bike in the Riverfront roundabout folks! It is currently littered with wood screws post CMA Fest. I reported it in Hub. Let’s see if they clean it…

Yelled at on the sidewalk. Threatened in the street. This is the impossible choice people on bikes face when infrastructure fails. Build proper, physically protected bike lanes so a parked truck doesn't force someone into a deadly situation.
Scott Roberts@mrscottroberts.bsky.social · 2mo agoI made this graphic on Church Street in Evanston to show the bad options cyclists are faced with when a bike lane is blocked. I’m speaking at the City Council meeting tonight about our unsafe bike lanes and this weekend’s tragic cycling death of Riley O’Neil.
