The other night the kid and I e-biked home from a late theater rehearsal via a cross-town #greenway in #Carrboro and #ChapelHill. It was a clear enough night that she was picking out constellations as I pedaled.
We also saw 3 deer and an owl. More greenways, please!

@geoff_green the #TernHSD has high beams!!
@DrTCombs nice! the most impressive part was you got to the trail from downtown without any wrong turns. I am not able to do that!
@geoff_green lot of trial and error
@DrTCombs this is very cool!
@DrTCombs What a great, safe path!
@sflkirk It is really lovely
The town decided a few years ago to go all in on greenways, even creating a new Office of Mobility and Greenways (OMG!), so I'm looking forward to more and more of these.
I love that my kid and I can ride nearly 6 miles and only have to interact with car traffic once (ok, twice).
@DrTCombs Very progressive by North American standards. My city talks the talk but doesn’t walk it unfortunately #ZeroVisionHFX
@sflkirk oh, we definitely have our failings! but yes, a progressive planning approach despite the larger context
@DrTCombs that’s super cool! Great bike light too
