And yes, bike lanes help sustainability efforts, but there is also a huge improvement in community engagement for a walker or a biker versus a driver. When your head isn’t encased in glass its so much easier to engage with your town and neighbors. 2/2
The new separated Folsom bike lane in #Boulder is on my bike route to work - and it’s awesome. More of this throughout town would help folks feel safer jumping on their bike instead of driving. Thanks @CommunityCycles and #bouldercitycouncil 1/2
@1MarkMcIntyre@bikevalmont Since you are ok this is pretty darn funny, and it strikes me that this is the kind of story and crash that doesn’t happen many other places. At a bike park, riding with grandson, crashed into a raised teeter totter, wicked Endo. A very Boulder list of things. Shake it off!
Come join us at OktCoburnfest 2021! Celebrate the fact that we are all still here, doing great work, making our community a better place for people after this year or Covid challenges! It’s all outside so we can enjoy each other’s company.
I’m at the Housing Colorado conference learning and presenting. It’s so awful that we have such a long way to go to get everyone in Colorado attainable housing. But it’s fantastic there are so many talented people working ceaselessly to get us there. #housingcoloradoconference
Man, it is absolutely perfect weather for my bike commute right now. In the summer heat or winter snow you have to want it, but right now it pays you back in a big way.
Throughout most of human history we designed our environments to supporting walking. For a very short period, after the car was invented, we got confused and that changed. The fact that we are focusing on walking again is not revolutionary, it’s a homecoming.
It looks like we are experiencing a level of global and local change that we haven’t seen in a long, long time - perhaps not in my lifetime. Seems a good time to remember that times of change create some of the best opportunities for positive outcome. Go make things better.
