9 cars per minute "#SafeRoutesToSchool", this was after it settled down a little. #SpeedHumps are useless at #TrafficCalming #PaintIsNotProtection #FuckCars our #trafficEngineers have no idea how to make safe streets 😞 #DefundDOTs #BanSUVs and these people picking up kids with their #TruckLoadOfInsecurities, but if you can't swing that, just put some #StuffInTheStreet

Posting on behalf of Beacon Hill Safe Streets:
Fresh new outdoor covered bike parking is coming to Kimball ES! While the project is still under construction, we are excited that students will be able to safely store their bikes/scooters/etc.

Pics show how students will access the bike parking from 23rd & Hanford

Last day of #school. The kid's biking all the way home on her own for the first time.

We've been practicing for this day for weeks. She knows the rules, knows how to handle her bike, knows to look out for drivers because they're not looking out for her.

We can do this.

If you are out on the roads this afternoon, PLEASE keep your eyes peeled for happy kids about to embark on the best summer of their lives.

Happy Pride Month to City of #Monterey Mayor Tyller Williamson, the first openly gay mayor of Monterey. Tyller is also a cofounder of #MontereyPeninsula #Pride.

We love it that the mayor and some Monterey City Council members regularly #bike to Council meetings.

Learn more about Mayor Williamson and Council members: https://www.monterey.org/city_hall/city_council/meet_the_mayor_and_council.php

Among those is one we are meeting with this afternoon to discuss—naturally!—bicycling-related issues. That's Gino Garcia, who is employed by #EcologyAction of #SantaCruz, a contractor for #Transportation Agency for #MontereyCounty. Among Gino's work assignments: TAMC's #SafeRoutesToSchool program.

There's a quarter-mile stretch of #greenway on our route to #school that lets us momentarily forget to worry about the multi-ton high speed metal boxes that threaten our lives every day.

A moment of bliss in an otherwise screwed up world.

This is a big freaking deal. We have always biked to school. We paid far more than we could afford for a house that made this possible. We have arranged our work schedules and lifestyles and vehicle ownership choices around the fact that our kid can ride her bike to school. If you follow me on social media, you know that my identity is wrapped up pretty tight in the idea that kids should be able to walk or #BikeToSchool.

#KidsOnBikes #SafeRoutesToSchool

This is a #SafeRoutesToSchool in #tedWheeler's #Portland, serving as a #RatRun at school pickup time for no good reason whatsoever except maybe #InducedDemand for making parents stay afraid of getting out of their cars. (Driver continued, at 30 in a 20, out the other side of the neighborhood because our #trafficEngineers can't figure out how this works.)

This morning's #BikeToSchool started out a little prickly, but it's hard to stay mad when you're riding a #bicycle. And if there's any angst leftover by the time you get to school, you can hug it out at the #bike rack.

This morning we met up with 6 (SIX!) other #KidsOnBikes during our ride to school. Six smiling, happy, slightly flushed faces, all bright eyed and ready to start their day.

The activity, socialization, & independence these kids are getting is no small thing. The change in my kid's resilience & attitude since she's been riding her own bike to school has been remarkable.

When we deny kids #SafeRoutesToSchool, we deny them a huge part of their life.

I was curious yesterday evening about the incoming covered bike racks for Kimball ES on Beacon Hill that are being installed as part of the school construction project. It’s looking good, and I’m glad that the design departure request to not have covered bike parking was denied back in 2020.

Is there a more beautiful sight than two best friends riding their bikes to school together?

parents of my kid's school just got a *lengthy* voicemail talking-to by the principal regarding their reckless parking behavior and I AM HERE FOR IT.

fucking absurd #Portland #PBOT Bureau and Budget Advisory Committee meeting talking about cutting #SundayParkways and #SafeRoutesToSchool to get people's attention so ted can have his useless parking price discount. Nobody talking about cutting the service being provided to CARS, when every mile driven is a net drain on the city budget. #ClimateDenial #ZeroVision

We got some data in on travel modes to school for this year and unfortunately it doesn't look very good.

My guess is that our COVID has become more "routine", more parents have more traditional work schedules now and are not able to walk or bike with their children to school?

Personally it's disappointing as I'd like to be able to have more to show for our #BikeBus efforts. Hopefully I can get county-wide data to see if other schools are seeing similar declines.

Would love to hear more thoughts from others on #BikeTooter and who do #SafeRoutesToSchool

I rode up West St after a #SafeRoutesToSchool meeting. Took it easy because I didn’t want to get sweaty. It’s warm out!

Rode my bike to work today for the first time in ages and bumped into my old Marshall Road Elementary School #biketrain being escorted by the Vienna police! It’s come a long way and you love to see it. #SafeRoutesToSchool

No, your electric car is not good for the environment if you drive like a jerk. #SafeRoutesToSchool #BanCars

#BikeBus ride to Vestal Elementary May 3rd from NE 78th & Oregon. So awesome to see the bike fun community supporting kids like this #pdxBikes. (Why can't the #SafeRoutesToSchool program or our #trafficEngineers do it though?)
