Show off your #cargoBikes! Answer questions on hauling kids & large loads #CarryShitOlympics#eBikes
It's so nice to be able to pull over and take a quick photo when see your matching cargo hauler on the side of the road! Another reason to #LeaveTheCarAtHome
We spend all of this time talking about how people are afraid to ride bikes & then the commissioner of transportation goes out & blows a hole in the barely existent low-stress network to get some political gas from the hoteliers. Does that inspire the confidence you need to #leaveTheCarAtHome? Does it make you feel like people on #pdxBikes have equal status with drivers, or at least with their luggage? Mapps got here a little late to be mayor of old #Portland, I hope.
The car #traffic that came into view as I crested a hill on my morning commute was a sharp contrast to the surroundings of the pleasant #greenway I had been on.
#Cars--and the way we bend over backwards to cater to them--really do ruin everything.
This morning's #BikeToSchool started out a little prickly, but it's hard to stay mad when you're riding a #bicycle. And if there's any angst leftover by the time you get to school, you can hug it out at the #bike rack.
Going car-free for #EarthDay shouldn't be a difficult challenge for anyone. Nobody should be forced to drive to meet their daily needs. If you can't #LeaveTheCarAtHome due to your govt's misplaced priorities in #transportation spending, call your mayor and governor about it. It's not just land use and #parking policy that keeps people driving, it's the billions we spend maintaining deadly #stroads.
