Giving people a chance to change their minds is why street pilots matter.
The most amazing thing is happening behind the scenes at Pike Place Market. The Constituency—once an obstacle to progressive change—is now fighting to keep cars out of the market.

Happy Friday from Sparkle 💖 Motion in Hood River.
10 years after we left Boston, we biked between friends' 🏠 JP to Somerville.
On Mass Ave, a parked ambulance forced us into traffic, where a speeding driver missed me by inches.
We asked the crew to move. They did.
But paint isn’t protection—and Boston still treats bike lanes like parking.

Students and youth should be centered in safe routes to school communications more.
Their joyful support sets a tone for why it's important to have safe biking and walking infrastructure.
The OG walk & roll club helped me engage neighbors back in 2023 and now get to celebrate their advocacy.

8 of 9 of my ⚡🚲 E-bike library borrowers have purchased them as car replacement. So far, that's a $5000 cost out of my grant.

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.
This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com
