A pile of snow, shoveled off a Brooklyn sidewalk, and piled into a tree pit. The top of the pile of snow is festooned with four bear faces. BUT NO BEAR BODIES! and the eyes and noses are actually Pennies because that was all I had.

All the faces ended up on my snow shoveling pile! I found the faces!

I ran into a neighbor, who also volunteers for the #BergenBikeBus, shoveling the crosswalks to sidewalk path not once, but twice! Meaning he and I were outside on multiple occasions, clearing the snow that no one else will touch.
Didn't get paid, but wish it were a given that it would be done.

I literally saw some guy try to kick snow over his dogs poop today and so when I PUT A BAG IN HIS HAND he was shocked.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

That's why we cyclists have such good gloves and gear. We are all cross country skiers at heart.

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Diagram of two shaded vehicles flanking a pedestrian with text to explain that the vehicle that Renee  Good was driving could not have made an impact on the ICE officer's torso: SUV front ends are taller, so they strike pedestrians higher on their bodies. That means they are more likely to kill a pedestrian than a car that would strike a person's leg.

So many studies show thisnis jot the case with that vehicle pbs.twimg.com/media/GQNyoj...

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

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 β™₯️ see you in 2026!

Do Waymo cars, or self driving cars need to look/act like regular cars?

Amazon could also park at the curb if that was made a priority; either by the city and/or Amazon.
