Something special is happening in Barcelona. It started last month when some parents organized a bike ride to school for just five kids. Now entire neighborhoods are joining. They call it Bicibús – or Bike Bus.

Out for a ride? Wearing a mask properly is an important part in stopping the spread of COVID. Remember to:✅ Wear a mask that covers your mouth, nose and chin completely✅ Make sure to wear a mask when outside your home ✅ Don't touch the mask, and if you do, wash your hands

“E-bikes are really among the most energy-efficient motorized mode of transportation out there. There’s really no other vehicle that has the same low level of energy requirements as an e-bike.” grist.org/ask-umbra/did-i-ma…

I wrote for @BicyclingMag. "Talking about things like gender, queerness, race, and white supremacy scares people. It makes them uncomfortable. Their resulting defensiveness makes them question your intelligence. Especially if being anti-racist means giving up their bike lane..."
"Bicycling cannot solve systemic racism in the United States. But systemic racism can’t be fixed without tackling it within bicycling." —@TamikaButler trib.al/fFGtx22

SLOW STREETS COMING TO LOS ANGELES THIS WEEKEND!
Thank you to our coalition partners and all that worked so hard on this. Thank you to @JoeLinton @StreetsblogLA and @laura_nelson @latimes for shining the light on this issue.
.@MayorOfLA announces that Los Angeles is starting a "slow streets" program this weekend, temporarily closing neighborhood streets to cars to give people more space to run, walk, bike, push strollers, etc., while still maintaining social distancing.

Keep up the great work, Denver. We hope LA will come very soon. @MayorOfLA @ericgarcetti
NEW: Portions of several #Denver streets will close to vehicles Saturday to allow for pedestrians & bikes. Densely populated neighborhoods & those without immediate park or trail access will receive priority. #coronavirus #PhysicalDistancing #COVID19 denverpost.com/2020/04/03/de…

Los Angeles wants 50% of all trips in the city to be made by walking, biking & taking transit by 2035. LA could take note of other cities turning streets & corridors into transit-accessible public plazas: latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
