A person riding a bicycle modified to carry a large, heavy load. The cargo container is enclosed by a large repurposed sack of 'Indian Parboiled Rice,' as indicated by the text and image on the sack. The scene is set on a busy urban street with cars, pedestrians, and a billboard in the background.

A common "cargo bike" modification in Madagascar. From 2017.

No sticker shock at the pumps when I #commutebybike + every time I ride I feel like it’s a big F U to u know who. #climateaction

Not to name drop, but I knew Doozy, the Instagram celebrity dog who died recently.

I have a sticker to prove it. Condolences from Madagascar.

Here’s reason number 6️⃣ to #commutebybike …… you reduce your carbon footprint.
Cycling to work really is the eco friendly way to travel. A choice that doesn’t produce any gas emissions, and you’re fighting #climatechange one pedal stroke at a time.👌🏻

Marcus #probablyriding shares a reel on why he loves to commute by bike & how to him it’s a form of meditation.

A person standing beside a black Trek mountain bike on a city street, wearing a blue polo shirt, black gloves, and a white bicycle helmet. In the background, large white oil storage tanks and a road with passing vehicles are visible under a cloudy sky.

11 years ago I used to commute by this oil depot every day, which may explain the antenna growing out of my head.

Rode it anyway.
Zero vibes, sticks like crazy, quiet as hell.

Snow and ice are temporary. Drivers stopping right on top of crossings is forever.

"No I will not go around and trudge through a snowbank so you can sit comfortably in your Buick with leather seat warmers!"

A Surly Skid Loader eBike with studded tires, fenders, and pogies

Winter finally arrived in Kansas. We got 8" of snow Friday night and Saturday. I took the Christmas lights off my bike and put on the studded tire wheelset. I also put on a new chain. #Surly #Skidloader #CommuteByBike #WinterCycling

A bustling street scene in Antananarivo, Madagascar, featuring a person rollerblading towed by a cyclist on a busy road. The road is shared with cars, motorbikes, and pedestrians, with greenery and buildings visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

This sight filled me with hope. Does anyone else feel this way?

A blue mountain bike parked on a dirt path beside a lush, green rice paddy in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The surrounding area includes banana trees, residential buildings, and a partly cloudy sky, creating a serene rural-urban blend.

When your workplace provides safe bike parking. A plot of rice near my neighborhood.

280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.

I bought my first eBike nearly 5 years ago and sold my car a year later making us a 1-car family. It's been one of the best financial decisions I've made, it built in fitness into my daily routine, and it greatly cut my carbon footprint. #CommuteByBike #Cycling

A vintage Raleigh Chopper bicycle on display at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. The bike is mounted on a wall exhibit with a 'Please do not touch' sign. In the background, a mounted gazelle specimen is visible above the bike.

It's no longer called the Museum of Transport, but they've still got their choppers. (Riverside Museum, Glasgow, Scotland. Photo by permission of Kenneth McIlvenny).

What's with the gazelle though?

Reason number 5️⃣ to #commutebybike ….. you can customise your journey to suit your needs.
Hit the roads & take advantage of any cycle infrastructure? or hit the trails to avoid potholes & close passes? What ever works for you, maybe even a bit of both. 🤙🏻👌🏻

I had flat tire on Friday. Did I worry? Did I fix it myself? No and no. I've learned to have faith in the abundance of roadside mechanics. Less than 1 km away...

It was a rainy commute to the station this morning, but it was early so I braved trent bridge (which makes it shorter). 8 minutes from my house to the coffee queue (don't judge it was an early train!) Easily beats the car, and no parking charge!

Studded Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro tires on the front wheel of a Surly Skid Loader eBike

It is officially studded tire season with our first forecast of measurable snowfall tomorrow. I busted out my winter wheelset with Ice Spiker Pros, added new sealant, and replaced a couple studs. The Surly Skid Loader is ready for some slick stuff. #CommuteByBike #WinterCycling #Cycling

Yet another customised bike for a parent! We love seeing how much more kids enjoy the ride when they’re dropped at school by bike.
Wanna know how it feels to be a child on one of these? Check it out!

A taxi driver in Antananarivo, Madagascar, stands next to the open rear hood of a classic Citroën 2CV. The trunk is packed with a folding bike, tools, and other items, demonstrating how compact and versatile the bike is for urban mobility. The taxi sign on the roof reads 'TAXI ANTANANARIVO.

My folding bike fits into the back of a 2CV more comfortably than I do.

A black-and-white line drawing of a coffee cup on a saucer, accompanied by text that reads: 'prioritizing youth mobility is prioritizing adult relaxing. When kids can walk/roll safely and independently, adults can enjoy some peaceful time to themselves.'

When your kids don't need you as their chauffeur everyone is better off.

People ask if I get cold commuting by bike through the fall and winter. It dipped below freezing during my morning commute and I currently have a fan blowing on full blast on my desk. #CommuteByBike #Cycling #Biking #WinterBiking

I also love that only one person cares about whether they look dorky! Y'all are my kind of people!

This morning’s commute = grey & miserable. This afternoon = blue skies and sun! 🤷🏻‍♂️
Which leads me onto reason number 4️⃣ to #commutebybike …… fresh air!
I’m lucky that I can take a scenic way home, & avoid all the traffic for even fresher fresh air!👌🏻😃

A roadside bike seller in Antananarivo with used bikes mounted on a retaining wall. In the background is a blue painted advertisement for a Schtroumpfs-branded school. (Smurfs.)

When your bike shop is a retaining wall...

Yes, that's an advertisement for a Smurfs-branded private school.
