hi #SanFrancisco #BayArea, i need to make room so i’m selling my #ebike! it’s a rad power rad city 3 step through, in great condition with only ~550 miles on it, and the brakes were recently trued (i can replace the pads for you for a few extra $). it comes with a kickstand and a small back basket (fits almost all backpacks). it’s still under warranty and the battery is in great condition as i’ve been careful about overcharging. i’m asking ~$1200 OBO (willing to negotiate). please boost! #xp
Seen from the bicycle, it sometimes strikes you as odd that people take 1,500 kilos of steel and plastic with them to the city, relying on 20,000 Watts worth of little fossil fuel explosions to move the whole thing ahead. And then have to look for a place to park it.

Just sent out my first wholesale order or bike lights to The Ride Cafe in Melrose, MA. They are building out a cafe space with bike maintenance / repair as well as stroller/car seat rentals and bike accessories and gifts.
I’m still so proud of this kid for doing this unplanned ride up a big hill after school. In her adult-sized t-shirt and all-stars with giant ribbons on the heel, with a friend on the back of a cargo bike to chat with along the way. 11 miles and 1200 feet of climbing and a ridiculous $18 for 2 cups of frozen yogurt to celebrate. Kids are awesome, kids can be strong, and kids + bikes make things even better. #BikeTooter
If you'd tried to sign up for my (mostly-unused) mailing list in the past, I had it misconfigured and nothing was being saved. I'd send out emails about things I'm building to make family biking easier. The form is at the bottom of www.ascentale.com hopefully it works now!

After school ride up (and down) the hill. Got to watch the sun set from the top. So proud of this kid!
I was feeling kind of bummed out yesterday. Seeing the cargo bikes at school pickup made me feel better.
