@onecolleen I feel your pain. My mother was killed by a drunk driver when I was seven. The guy who did it got 90 days in jail. At the sentencing, his mother complained to my father that her son would lose his job.
In America, it's legal and socially acceptable to kill someone with a car.
@foleymo I have an older GoPro that I sometimes clamp to the seatpost for a rear view. (I use this if I'm doing a lot of on-street biking.) I like the chest mount for a front view; you can also plug in an external battery for long rides.
Time to dust off the ol' bike and go for a springtime spin?

Breaking two years of Twitter silence to support my friend @foleymo, who had his bike stolen yesterday. Please keep a look out for it, and consider donating to his GoFundMe to replace it. His bike is his main source of transportation. https://t.co/VOxlEjZAT8 #bikemn
Minneapolis Bike Twitter: My ebike was stolen today when it was locked up outside the Hyatt Regency on Nicolette Mall. Let me know if you see this distinctive bike anywhere!
@_jmichaelward The Netherlands. Beautiful cities, wonderful people, bikes rule the streets, great public transportation, etc. And apparently it's very possible thanks to something called the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty.
The unprecedented long duration air quality event continues across Minnesota. The air quality alert has been extended until 3pm Tuesday and now includes all of Minnesota. Purple, Red, and Orange AQI conditions are forecasted, with the worst arriving Saturday morning. #MNwx#AQI
Celebrating Earth Day by begrudgingly stopping for pedestrians in the crosswalk and then slamming on the gas and peeling away at high speed so the world knows how aggrieved I am about it.
Delivery drivers will choose to park in the bike lane even when they have full, unobstructed access to a dedicated parking lane. Cool stuff. #MinnehahaAve#VisionZeroMpls
