The utter stupidity of allowing drivers to turn right on red lights is the hill I will die on. Probably literally.

It's time to stop risking pedestrian and bicyclist lives by trusting drivers to decide when it's safe to go.

The stopgap bill to fund transportation that was passed in the Oregon Senate buys us time, but it does not buy us stability. We need to look ahead to 2026 and 2027 now, to when we’ll have legislative opportunities to pass a comprehensive transportation package and fund safety for all Oregonians.

Today, we stood with deliveristas + cyclists in calling on the Police Commissioner & Mayor to end the harmful policy targeting cyclists & delivery workers. This isn’t safety—it’s criminalization.

We demand:
✅ Safe bike lanes
✅ Labor rights for deliveristas
✅ App accountability

But... But... I recently read that only able bodied, military aged men ride bikes in #yeg.

Women on bikes. Imagine that.

I suppose the next thing you'll tell me is that CHILDREN ride them?

Yesterday I spoke at regional council in support of the extensive proposed bike lane installations along Bridgeport, Erb, Caroline, University and King Streets in Waterloo. Really happy that this project was approved for further action! #safestreetsforall www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...
Regional councillors approve ‘road space reallocation’ for cycling in Waterloo
Expanding the separated cycling network would see car lanes reduced along several main thoroughfares including Erb, King and Caroline streets and Bridgeport Road.

Data, meet demonstrations. 🤝

Portland, Oregon's regional government, Oregon Metro, launched a new Safe Streets hub. The hub gives residents, advocates, and city leaders access to safety data across the region.
Photo of a street in Portland, Oregan marked with bollards; the bollards are outlined in glowing white lines. Text reads “Data (handshake emoji) Demonstrations” and the handshake is over “designing streets to be safer.”

Lowering transportation costs for people in Tigard is possible. Reducing car trips is the simplest solution. At a recent community event, I heard from a family that wants to bike more but doesn't feel safe on their route to local businesses. Let's change that! #SafeStreetsForAll #BikesMeanBusiness

Josh deserved so much better from our City. He should still be here with us today. It was so heartbreaking to hear the pain in his mother’s voice as she shared his memory with us.

We can’t bring him back, but we will fight for the safe streets Josh deserved. #SafeStreetsForAll

This weekend we showed out and built a massive display of protection for cyclists on Halsted. Biking on Halsted — and everywhere else in Chicago — should be this safe every single day.

You deserve better streets. #SafeStreetsForAll
Looking down the southbound Halsted bike lane, A large group of cyclists smile holding up signs as they line up along the edge of the bike lane to create protection from cars passing by. One of the signs says “bikes only” with arrows pointing towards the bike lane. Another sign says “people I love bike here, protect them.” A photo from across the street shows large group of cyclists are lined up along the edge of the bike lane to create protection from cars passing by.

In 2024, I resolve to push back every single time someone uses the term #VRU, or #VulnerableRoadUser.

It's a transportation catchall for "humans not safely ensconsed inside a motor vehicle," and it's lazy, inaccurate, offensive, and counterproductive.
