Bicycle infrastructure is less expensive to build and maintain than car infrastructure. The return on investment is enormous when you have a healthier and happier community. #BikesAreBetter

A view looking East from S Portland shows Mt Hood in the distance. The sunrise is refracting on the light clouds, creating a rainbow.

Good morning! Did you catch that sunrise refraction near Mount Hood? Things you see when you aren't stuck in a multi-ton metal box. 🥰☀️🌈 #BikesAreBetter

Another beautiful morning commute without burning petroleum! 🚫🛢 My toes were a bit chilly, even with double socks. ❄️ #BikesAreBetter

We took advantage of this cold but sunny day and hit the skate park for more practice. We met another biking family and the kiddo made a friend with another girl who bikes. We're getting better on our park bikes each time! #BikesAreBetter #RideToWhereYouRide

So much has changed in 10 years! 🚫🛻 #OneLessTruck

I just picked up this HEAVY bookcase from someone on a Craigslist ad. The seller was so blown away by the cargo bike that they jumped on their bike and rode with me for a few blocks to see how it was possible to move such a load without a pickup truck. #OneLessTruck #CargoBikes #BikesAreBetter

A beautiful sunset reflecting on the clouds showing oranges, pinks and purples with the blue sky peaking out. A yellow bakfiets in the foreground with a child inside. The cargo box reads "This machine fights climate change "

It was a very wet morning commute, but the evening commute was 😍🌅 #WorthIt

My bicycle puts me in a better mood every time I ride it. No multi-ton metal box required! #BikesAreBetter

Dodging rainstorms and picking up dinner! #BikesAreBetter #ItsJustRain #SupportLocal #StopDriving

Great video! Leave the car at home. Ride your bike! #BikesAreBetter

Sometimes, I ponder purchasing an electric motorcycle or Vespa type scooter. Then, I see folks on motorcycles stuck in car congestion and say NO THANKS! 🚲🚀 #Ebikes #BikesAreBetter

the ad algorithm trying to do damage control on my Threads feed 😂😂

One bike on left. One on right. My yellow ebike to the left, not pictured.4th bike up street locked up to sign post.

Working at Cumbre this morning. 4 people on bikes arrived. No car parking required. Would be nice if they had a bike rack though.

2 out of 4 are e-bikes.

And I’ve seen a half dozen bikes ride by, in just 10 minutes.

This 9 year-old biked 11 miles over the SW Portland hills from Tigard to OMSI for summer camp! Bikes are amazing tools that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and align with our climate goals. YOU could drive less TOMORROW. #BikesAreBetter

Friday's @bonbpdx.bsky.social was rainy, but we were prepared! #ItsJustRain You don't need to hide in a multi-ton metal box just because of a little water. The kiddo biked 8.5 miles that morning, and another 7 miles that evening! #BikesAreBetter #Donuts #BreakfastOnTheBridges #PDX #Portland

You don't have to go car-free. Just try replacing *some* car trips! You'll be healthier and happier. #BikesAreBetter

I lose interest in cars the moment they get so wide that I can't reach over from the driver's seat and touch the passenger window without having to lean over. Navigating the world in an aircraft carrier is for navies.

Can you smell the freedom? 🚗 🚙🛻💨 #CarsRuinCities #CarsAreInTheWay #BikesAreBetter #Freedom

A sign in the window "Cylistt parking inside cafe" with a cartoon image of a person on a bike. A black bike rack is visible through the window.

The Blue House Cafe in the sleepy logging town of Vernonia, Oregon invites people to park their bicycles *inside* the cafe because they know that #BikeMeanBusiness They can fit 20 bikes in the rack but only 2 cars at the curb. #BicycleTourism #BikesAreBetter

Made it! It's time for a shower, dinner, and to PASS OUT in my real bed! 🛏💤 #BikePacking #Camping ##LeaveTheCarAtHome #BikesAreBetter

Cars just don't fit! #BikesAreBetter

Rolling on the Brompton past the soccer game. 🚲⚽👀 So many bikes! So many CARGO bikes! 🥰
The street is closed to cars to provide temporary bike racks during the game.
Imagine if all of these people drove a single occupancy car downtown. #BikesAreBetter #CarsRuinCities

First bus trip with the Brompton folding bike! It fits in the elevator so much better than the Bullitt! 😄 A work trip to Salem was enjoyable on the bike and bus rather than being stuck in a car. I had an hour each way to read, scroll and relax. #OneLessCar #BikesAreBetter #FundTheBus

The kiddo hit 100 miles on her bike! Very exciting! Most adults couldn't ride 100 miles due to the sedentary lifestyle of car culture. #BikesAreBetter #SellYourCar #GetOutside #ClimateStripes

Good morning! Cars aren't allowed here. #BikesAreBetter

Sell your car, buy a bike! I joined the Portland bike community for a protest ride on Saturday. You don't need a multi-ton metal box to get around! #BikesAreBetter

A fun winter afternoon to be out on the bike! Studded tires work well on our bakfiets. It's so funny to see people in their 4x4s staring at us when we (Ding! Ding! 👋🏽) bike on by will little extra effort. #BikesAreBetter #WinterBike #CargoBikes

9 year old bikes to the grocery store with ease. No car required. This was just a 2.5 mile round trip of a 12 mile day for her. #BikesAreBetter #LeaveTheCarAtHome

2 t > … > … > 120 kg > 75 kg

This is so obvious, but still one of the largest elephants in the room!

Thank you for pointing this out!
