For the days when Mount Vernon Trail or Anacostia riverfront trail are flooded or too congested or just not nature-ing enough for you there's this! https://momentummag.com/its-a-boat-its-a-camper-its-a-betriton-bicycle/

Scenes from the mayor’s bike ride in Cambridge. We had lunch at Oggi Gourmet, pastries and lemonade from La Saison and ice cream from Lizzy’s, all delicious!
(I’d tag the mayor and say thanks but sadly she hasn’t made the jump to the fediverse.)
In a world full of Waltham Market Baskets, be the Somerville Market Basket

Your periodic reminder that the moms and grandmoms of camberville are incredible people
anyone got a Bluesky invite? I like it here, but the more options i have to eat up my attention in lieu of twitter, the better
This coming Wed, May 3rd, is National Walk Bike & Roll to School Day, and also would have been my 15th wedding anniversary. Grateful that I’ll be spending the morning with my #BikeBus friends. https://www.walkbiketoschool.org/
Anyway, challenge accepted, shopping Amtrak tickets to Trenton.
New Jersey, like many states, runs tourism ads showing its greatest hits. Waterfalls, restaurants, roller coasters, etc.
Welp, you hooked my kid, New Jersey. My kid is *obsessed* with the prospect of visiting New Jersey. New Jersey.
New Jersey.
I have never inhaled helium to talk funny, I should do that
Biting my tongue hard in re the gentleman from Ward 6. Again.
i mean, WTF does this mean?
"'The K Street Transitway can and should be a transformational project – but it was designed for a downtown that no longer exists, and it only covers a few blocks,' CM Allen said."
'a downtown that no longer exists' - Is he saying we solved congestion? No more need for bus lanes? Or buses?
'it only covers a few blocks' - Right. but they're heavily congested ones where there's also lots of space. Do you want a tunnel under Mt Vernon Sq? That's a lot of free fares.
seeing my stodgy frustratingly-conservative employer being tagged a tool of pinko european tort lawyers on a neighborhood listserv is kind of making my day.
is this chaotic evil? am i doing this right? i'm definitely proud.

Saw this postal service cargo bike yesterday in my Brussels neighbourhood.

Absolutely ridiculous, and yet safer to people outside the vehicle than virtually any factory-stock SUV for sale today.
