Refresh my memory: Didn't Tommy leave DOEE to go work in the MMB Presents a Mayor's Office office? If so, she's leaving no stone unturned in her war on making a better DC.

“The problem with all the declarations that remote work was a big mistake? They’re mostly made by men. The lack of mothers’ voices in the decision-making is leading to, well, really poor decision-making.”

We know that every bike ride taken is a positive - it contributes to safety-in-numbers, it hopefully gets counted somehow to justify more facilities, it is cleaner and healthier than alternatives, it helps normalize the behavior, etc etc.

But here's a theory - i think every bike ride can bring happiness to other riders. Validates us, lets us know that we're not alone, gives us hope that all the fights are leading us to a marginally-better future.

So go take a ride, because it makes me happy.

They were smiling, so let's assume that it was good.

Great to see so so many kid-hauling cargobikes out this morn who weren't even on our bike bus. The North Cambridge family biking scene is looking very mainstreamish these days.

Older couple standing on a street corner, looks like they were waiting for us, filming our bike bus as we rode by. This is either very good or very bad.

They set up these two awesome running Roy Kent relationships (his relationship with his niece Phoebe, and how he hangs out with an older-ladies yoga crew) and then just seemingly drop both entirely.
