Yes, if you are an elected official you should ride along on a #BikeBus ride and feel the same freedom, joy, and level of social interaction, that the kids experience. #CommunityBuilding #IndependentMobility #Resilience @bikebusworld.bsky.social
"It's really fun" 🤩
"If you're a politician, come on the bike bus. It's great."
Stella from Camden shouts out her #BikeBus + throws an invite to all politicians 🎉🥳🚍🚲 @camdencyclists.bsky.social
All children should be able to cycle safely to school like Stella can.

Definitely a hotly debated issue right now. The #IndependentMobility of teens using e-mobility devices. #Motonormativity causing some people to not consider all sides of the issue. We need to avoid actions that create barriers to teen mobility, while supporting safety/education/safe infrastructure.

We know that biking has physical, mental, social, and cognitive benefits, older adults along with eliminating the danger of a person who should not be operating a motor vehicle. How can we as advocates best address the issue of #IndependentMobility for older adults who want freedom of movement?

Should be the mobility focus across the country. Getting kids and teens on transit or using active transportation for #IndependentMobility. Teach #BikeEducation and #Travel #Transportation curriculum in school, How to effectively use a sustainable transportation network. #BikeBus #WalkingSchoolBus
Our Youth Cruiser card is a SmarTrip card that provides #free

Also, this impacts children's mobility. Halifax apparently has a robust #KidicalMass or #BikeBus effort in getting kids outdoors, on bikes, traveling to school and other destinations. Bike lanes and separated bike infrastructure are good for all, but especially the #IndependentMobility of children.

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine.
We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave.
It was a wonderful kind of day.

Forget the school drop-off line of idling SUVs. Bike buses are catching on in communities worldwide, and parents are absolutely loving them.

Interesting study from Germany on e-bikes and the modes they replace:
"43.1% of electric bicycle trips and 63.2% of electric bicycle mileage would have been undertaken using a car if no e-bike had been available, highlighting their substantial potential to reduce transport-related CO2 emissions"
