What do you think would be an acceptable number of people being killed on our roads? Powerful message by Transport Accident Commission (TAC) Victoria.

Incentivize the mode of transportation that is most likely to increase our sense of community, happiness, and joy.

What I have learned from going viral for the #BikeBus is that there is an immense desire to rethink how we do student transportation.

Tomorrow is a great day in Denver. The city’s e-bike rebate program reopens at 8 am. There will be 2,000 rebates available for this month. If you want to get an e-bike, make sure to take advantage of this great offering.

Remember, it’s not about whether you personally want to or need to drive. It’s about understanding the truth that in cities, if everyone tries to move by car, no one moves much at all. So the more of us that are enticed to walk, bike & take transit, the better it is for everyone.

Founder and CEO of @pocampobags and League board member @MsMarbo recently shared her breast cancer story as part of #breastcancerawarenessmonth. Her story, and how biking got her through it, is a true reminder of the power of bike joy » bikeleague.org/content/maria…
Ebikes replace car purchases and result in bike commutes over car commutes. Please support the ebike tax benefit. @SenateDems

Your ability to bike or cross the street safely is absolutely a matter of infrastructure.

Tired: I'm buying some bags for my bike. Wired: I'm buying some equity in a startup that makes bags for bikes. republic.co/po-campo cc @MsMarbo @PoCampoBags

Yeah. So someone would have a scooter if they were going to work/commuting and needed something easy and flexible, whereas E-bikes are family-oriented and better for loads. At a $1200 price point for a TAUR and $2-3000 for a good cargo ebike could see families having both?
