I also still need to figure out a good and affordable set-up to record bike ride content showing things like specific trails, my grocery ride, etc.

Next I need panniers and a new portable charger. I am unsure what else I need/want in the gear department.

I would love to figure out how I can get these bike gear companies to send me free stuff.

Bought a new bike helmet. I rarely use my old cheap one so I decided to purchase one from Thousand that will likely be much more comfy.

I definitely need to coordinate a time to grab coffee with him. The road diet fight here was pretty ugly online so having such a logical and empathetic piece like this on the pro-side is a great thing.

What East Main Street Is For A road diet, a pedestrian death, and the question of who our streets are designed to see

Sam Harrelson of Carolina Ecology wrote this very good piece advocating for the East Main Road Diet. This genuinely blew me away.

doing a Model Arab League mini debate with some second years at work today woohoo

I have the Aventon Soltera 2.5 and have loved it. I am car-free and am rapidly approaching 2000 miles since getting it a little under a year ago.

highlights from the recent road diet fight!

I really want to start recording videos of me talking while on my bike. I have a Peak Design bar mount right now but I am unsure if it will get the job done.

really exciting infill project with the goal of ensuring more folks can access the benefits of living downtown.

"Greenville is full!" And what people really mean when they say that

Excellent post from Greenville Threads! I hear "we're full!" so much here in Spartanburg. Ultimately is has more to do with the built environment and transportation options than it does with a population number.

A Proposed New Policy for Electric Bikes & Scooters at Converse University An addition to my previous blog post

I was reminded by a current Converse University student about the piece I wrote rewriting Converse's policies on micro-mobility.

the use of "debunks" here is so silly. I do not think that uncritically taking a press release at face value is good journalism.

A good read on how insane some people become when you suggest they are not entitled to free car storage on public property.

A friend got my Letterboxd Patron for my birthday and I am now addicted to changing the posters and backdrops on every movie I have ever logged.
