JamesSince I brought my bike charger with me, I decided to leave the pedal assist on for my whole ride. With that, I managed to shave off about 20 minutes on my ride into the office this morning.For how long this ride is, it's pretty enjoyable! A lot of trails and bike paths, and I get to ride along the National Mall.<a href="https://woof.group/tags/bikecommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bikecommute</a> <a href="https://woof.group/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebike</a>

TimThis past week on my commute there has been someone writing homophobic and fascist stuff, so I've been covering it up. This is not to pat myself on the back, but to share how easy it is to carry a can of spray paint with you to make sure those things get covered as quickly as possible so that they know we are there to hold the line. Fascism is persistent, so we must be persistent as well. //////<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdx</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biketooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bikecommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bikecommute</a>

I enjoy doing a variety of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/crafts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crafts</a> to get out of my head and create something.

And then that turned into being social on bikes, so it made up a lot of my leisure & friend group.Also — bikes are a convivial tool & pro-social, whereas driving & it’s superstructures are fundamentally & unavoidably anti-social. <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a>

TipaFirst time to work on a non-e-bike since the pandemic.

Brendan HalpinFinished the first draft of my play in iambic pentameter! Because I have the freedom to do weird shit now! Anyway, given that I've been bike commuting in Boston since 2008, I was thinking I could put together some bike commuting tips for folks considering it. Do you think anyone would want such a thing? <a href="https://better.boston/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bike</a> <a href="https://better.boston/tags/bikecommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bikecommute</a> <a href="https://better.boston/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transportation</a> <a href="https://better.boston/tags/boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boston</a>

Phil DavisBike commute: I feel sorry for the little bugs hovering on-station doing their little buggy business and then I come out of nowhere with my blazing headlight and plough into them.The moths that flitter crazily on my front wheel for 20+ meters and then smack into my face… not so much.<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/bikeCommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bikeCommute</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a>

Jon SullivanHere's a related graph from a 2021 report from Western Australia's Department of Transport. In six countries, the percentage of children walking and biking to school has declined steeply over the past five decades.<a href="https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/active-transport/AT_P_Declining_Rate_walking_cycling_to_school_in_Perth.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/active-transport/AT_P_Declining_Rate_walking_cycling_to_school_in_Perth.pdf</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/BikeCommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeCommute</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/SchoolCommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SchoolCommute</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transport</a>

Jon SullivanI just found this, which underscores how NZ towns and cities are currently a bit broken."A 2016 study conducted by AUT concluded that 96 per cent of children would prefer to walk or cycle to school; however, data from the Ministry of Transport shows that the number of 5–12-year-olds walking to school decreased from 42 per cent in 1989 to 29 per cent in 2014."<a href="https://gazette.education.govt.nz/articles/the-school-commute-on-foot/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gazette.education.govt.nz/articles/the-school-commute-on-foot/</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/BikeCommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeCommute</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/SchoolCommute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SchoolCommute</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/WalkableCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WalkableCities</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nz</a>
