Never would we have had so much fun in a car. Watching for Metros, taking imaginary photos, greeting everyone on the trail with an enthusiastic “hey bro!” If only Allie were here for the laughter. 💖
Thank you. 🩷 and yes, Beauvoir. We also checked out the new Cobb Park by Capitol Crossing, which has a primo loop for scooting and roller skating!

Truly no better way to share our city than by bike! Thanks to @wababikelibrary.bsky.social, we made it to the National Zoo, playgrounds, ice cream x2, mini golf, the Wharf, the Mall, ate a sushi boat, and made some CORE cousin memories!
I rode one of these when in Munich last spring. Delightfully compact and useful!! Wish we could get them here.
This is an afront to family biking across #BIkeDC!
Stay tuned for planned action.
And tell your friends outside of DC to call their Senators offices on Tuesday to alert them to this action that will hurt everyone that visits the National Mall

Noooooo!
We join Sam, a DC hit-and-run victim, in calling on Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie to move B26-0057, the Motor Vehicle Insurance Modernization Act. It's time to update DC's 40-year-old insurance minimums.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.
Not to mention the time and emotional energy so many advocates have put into these meaningful changes, often in honor of a loved one. It’s the latest in a list of added insults to injury.
TODAY. See you at 11am outside Foggy Bottom Metro.

I’m back in your screens, talking about Allie 🫶🏻 and the importance of doing real things we know can save lives, like using tech and street design to slow drivers. 🚗
It’s why we’re walking on Nov 16 to honor victims and call for slowing down. #StopSuperSpeeders

Maybe he’ll recut the pod when I run for mayor (😂🤪😂🤪😂)!
If I knew nothing else about Mamdani and just read these quotes from him about cars I'd still adamantly vote for him if I lived in NYC.
If he gets elected mayor, Mamdani’s support for banning parking near intersections citywide could undo a bureaucratic knot at the Department of Transportation, whose leaders have vigorously pushed back against the movement fighting for the safety measure.
Trigger warning.
“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.
If you disagree with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy
who said:
"I do think you see more congestion when you add bike lanes and take away vehicle lanes. That's a problem."
let him know!

🧵 (1 of 6) Community members recently placed memorial ghost bikes in honor of friends and loved ones.
This includes new memorials for loved ones who were killed while bicycling sometime in the past year and a half, plus previous memorials that were in need of care and replacement. ❤️🩹

With a track record like this, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that VIP plate 632 in @mayorbowser.bsky.social’s DC didn’t stop when I was in the (4-way stop) crosswalk with my kid this morning.
Very small indeed! Hope you made it out without too many off-list purchases!
🥁
Gotta modernize my kid’s fleet. @wmatagm.bsky.social, waiting on the D8 to to Better-Bused!

The circumstances of this fatal crash are absolutely horrific and heartbreaking. I read every MPD press release on fatal traffic crashes, and this is one absolutely broke me. 💔😭
