Why #pedestrian #infrastructure matters (a thread):
I have to drop my car off at the shop later this week for some maintenance that requires me to leave it for an afternoon. The shop is not really withing my walking radius (especially in July), and my partner’s and my work schedules make it inconvenient for me to ask her for a ride at the time I need it. (1/12)
I really try to keep an open mind in local races but this is disqualifying.

Waiting at a corner at a light to change aboard my rather-unique cargobike, a VW Golf packed with my kid’s classmates screamed out, “HI ELLIE’S DAD!!!”
I cannot overstate the ego boost that results from operating a vehicle that makes you locally famous(ish) with kids.
