Hi y'all & Happy Tuesday! March continues to deliver lovely days & we're pumped for tomorrow's #BikeBus. The forecast calls for temps in the mid 40s & partly sunny skies, but gloves & a jacket are still a good idea. Our tracker goes live at 7:15.
See you in the AM ✨ let's roll!
Stop Super Speeders is part of the State Senate's one-house budget! New York has the chance to save lives by slowing down the worst-of-the-worst drivers. Let's get this done.

Hi y'all! We will be holding off & not running this week's #BikeBus. While it has gotten better (both temperature- & street-wise), it's still a bit icy on the roadways of our routes. We hope to be back for the last week of February ✨
Wishing everyone safe travels & a great week ahead!
The research is clear: Cities have many reliable ways to curtail speeding.
Lower the posted limit. Deploy traffic cameras. Insert speed humps. Install road diets.
They all work – and most residents support them.But implementation often feels like pulling teeth.
In Bloomberg, I explored why.
Hi y'all ❄️ happy first week of February! NYC's low temperatures are slowly improving, but some of the streets on our route are still a work-in-progress. Out of continued caution, the Bergen #BikeBus will not run tomorrow morning.
As always, till next time & safe travels to all!

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.”
#Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing to go further each year.
Hi y'all! The remnants of Sunday's snowstorm & low temps made for icy conditions on some parts of our route, so out of an abundance of caution, tomorrow's #BikeBus is cancelled.
This closes our fall 2025 season. We wish everyone very happy end-of-the-year holidays ♥️ see you in 2026!

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers get around by bike every day. They deserve better.
A few moments from Wednesday's #BikeBus ride to school 🥰
Intersections with poor visibility are dangerous for pedestrians and drivers. Too many New Yorkers have been killed—tragedies that could have been avoided. NYC needs universal daylighting now!
