yeah sex is cool but have you ever ridden a bike past cars stuck in traffic??
I volunteer with a Utrecht non-profit De Fietsmeesters to help teach adults how to bike. Students are almost always women, and mostly new immigrants. There are 16 new riders in this class, and 4 of us volunteers.
By the end of 10 weeks almost everyone is successfully biking on the road — it's so empowering!
Although accessibility to disabled cyclists is not explicitly mentioned as such, @BicycleDutch 's new video shows some of the accessibility issues that crop up even with cycle infrastructure that many abled cycle advocates drool over.
Notice the facility talks about "monitoring the behavior" instead of learning from actual behavior related to design and rejiggering to fit (plus improving future design processes).

Check out a bunch of 2026 bike infrastructure projects around the greater Seattle area in my video guide. And there are even more projects I couldn’t cover! I had to learn multiple new techniques in DaVinci Resolve for this video, and I’m excited to be improving my skills as I continue to adjust to the new video editing software.

Ride across the West Seattle Bridge with me in my video covering this year’s Emerald City Ride! We were treated to a gorgeous sunny day with wonderful views of the area.

❝ For the first time, New York City has a mayor who has made riding a bike a seemingly genuine part of his political identity. On the campaign trail, the 34-year-old democratic socialist famously corrected a heckler who called him a communist by grabbing a Citi Bike and saying, “It’s pronounced cyclist.” ❞
i love that Mamdani is an unapologetic smartass… on a bike.

I’ve got my next group rides all set for June and July! I’m leading a pair of Seattle queer history rides, a bike tour around Mukilteo, and a ride along the historic route of the Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway. Check them out in my newest ride leader newsletter:

It only took a few clicks and my biking blog is now federated!
ActivityPub sure is amazing.
After providing introductory bike-friendly drivers training today—to all youth at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center—we made our typical rounds in our county’s seat and largest city. Today that included Acosta Plaza and two local bike shops on our route.
We also stopped to snap photos of some of our favorite infrastructure (short of bikeways with a physical barrier): Bike boxes at intersections, like this one on West Alisal Street at Lincoln Avenue, Salinas.

Relive this year’s cascade Seattle To Portland ride in my video! It was my 2nd time ever riding the STP, and I had a blast throughout the 207 mile (333 km) route.

"South Carolina is now one of a dozen states with a statewide safety stop law. The details vary, but the basic principle has spread across red and blue states alike: people on bikes must slow down, yield to anyone with the right of way, and stop whenever safety requires it. Some states apply the rule only to stop signs; others also let riders proceed through red lights after stopping and yielding.” And in #SouthCarolina the bike friendliness extends further: "Right turns on red require slowing and yielding but not a complete stop.”

@MarkBrigham asks, as a follow-up:
Q3. Does your community have smoothness standards for municipal and county roads, and for bike & walk-specific infrastructure? Please cite examples if you have them.

With the UK hill climb season fast approaching, here's you annual reminder I wrote a handy foolproof guide on how to win them.

And if you don't know what a hill climb is, GCN did a video on it here: https://youtu.be/ulFSy5efP1E
