I have been captivated the past couple of years watching Jackie and Shadow show us what it is to be eagles. Last year, I couldn’t help but marvel while flying over Big Bear Lake, knowing that those two were soaring somewhere down below. Fly free, Jackie.

Not exaggerating, I saw at least 20 people biking or on scooters on my way home tonight. Kids, commuters, families, rec riders…you name it. This narrative that nobody bikes has to stop.

Anxious to hear from our Brown U. And Providence friends. This is not normal. It is not okay. We are the only “advanced” country on the planet that accepts this as unavoidable, over and over again.

I never post about local politics for obvious reasons. But only one woman elected to City Council? Regardless of how you feel about any of the individual candidates, that is not a good outcome.

Beautiful day to commute by bike. 15 min door to door mostly along Pleasant St, which is just about the same as it takes by car. Evening return is always a bit rougher…heavier traffic and less patient drivers. (1/2).

East Bay Bike Path and Colt State Park in Bristol, RI today. Wow - what a beautiful, albeit busy, trail. Saw osprey, egrets, a heron, cormorants, gulls, turkeys, bunnies, muskrats, and a (very nearby) deer! Highly recommended.

Great use of street art in Worcester’s Main South to beautify the area, build community, & improve safety for all. TY Main South CDC for securing the grant & organizing this event. Glad Worcester DTM could offer support. Looking forward to its completion next week. PC David Jerry. #streetsforpeople
