Can you imagine the uproar if someone's legal car was seized and immediately crushed because some woodentop made a mistake? And the Police don't even apologise or accept they made a mistake. It's good to see this go mainstream. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We could keep listening to fossil fuel + car lobbyists. Or we could test out better ways to reduce our dependence on extractive resources and build cleaner, safer, more affordable cities. We think the choice is clear. #CargoBikes

Between size restrictions, crowded platforms, and limited space, bringing an eBike on the train isn't always easy... 😅 But not with the Vektron! It folds down to a compact size and rolls easily with one hand, making it straightforward to navigate stations and board trains. #foldingbike #ebike
Built to carry what matters most. Today, we're celebrating the dads who do the same. Warmest wishes this Father's Day! 💙 📷: @withsophia.nv 🚲: Tern GSD #fathersday #cargobike
I don’t know who needs to hear this but go ride a bike the next chance you get
Bookmark this post for the next time someone says "bike infrastructure is ableist." Dutch bike infrastructure, in the form of wide, multiuse paths, is used by countless disabled people every day. They use the same paths as bicyclists, and are safer than on our broken American sidewalks.

– Urban structures that don’t function without a car. – Public transportation that can’t keep up. – Bike paths that end abruptly or don’t exist at all. This isn’t a force of nature — these are political decisions that have made people car-dependent. medium.com/@Katja_Diehl...

Many people, including some bike people, tell us our bikes were too expensive and we're crazy for paying that much for them. Ope, no car payment in our home.

Saving money on gas starts with smarter alternatives to owning a car. With an e-bike that can handle groceries, commutes, and school drop-offs, you can transition to a one-car family, using it for daily trips and saving thousands each year. #risinggasprices #gasprices #cargobike #ebike #SaveMoney

This dynamic duo is on a national media tour talking up their excellent new book that diagnoses, dissects, and debates how car-dominated places have negatively influenced our lives — and what we'd gain by living life without (or a lot fewer of) them. bikeportland.org/2025/11/06/w...
