A year ago I switched from a car to an #ebike as my primary mode of #transportation. I wrote about my experience commuting by bike in #Harrisonburg #Virginia and created an unofficial bike map of safer routes around the city.

The path to a more #sustainable future in #Harrisonburg requires that we put people, not cars, at the center of our priorities. The sooner we embrace #mixeduse, #walkable #bikeable medium #density #housing, the brighter our collective future will be.

Last night after leaving a restaurant in downtown #Harrisonburg, my spouse and I were stopped by a woman we didn't know from North Carolina. She was with her 20-something daughters, one of whom recently got a job in Harrisonburg. She said they had spent all day looking for an apartment for her daughter but couldn't find anything available that was even remotely affordable. A thread:
