@reroutethe23 Thank you! I appreciate your support! Though I am sorry you are missing a bike! I hope there's a chance of recovering it?

This is so unnecessary. I moved this dumpster back to the curb. I don’t know if this is on the restaurants or on @WasteManagement but please don’t block the bike lane with your dumpster anymore. This isn’t the first time.

[Phil (@[email protected]) 🚲🚍🚊 @ascentale]

There have been many instances since this, but @WasteManagement it's been at least 15 months and this keeps happening. Here is what the bike lane looked like today.

Bike lane opponents: "if we lose our ability to park in front of our own homes, we become prisoners."

If this is what you think, you are already prisoners.

This is Stockholm syndrome.

@jefposk @SFBART Ah yes, the old "tag and sprint" game

Hi, Happy New Year. We will ride our first North #Oakland #BikeBus of the year tomorrow, Wendesday 4th. I'm expecting not many kids due to the likely rain, but we will be riding regardless! DM for details.
I wrote a bit on riding in the rain with kids: https://t.co/IyrCn1Vjbw

@stuttsy_ @ChristinaUss We just started reading A Few Bicycles More. Lots of literal LOLs so far.

@marykuris @lmc Yeah! My guess is the thieves were in a rush, and missed the small stuff or determined the kindle not worth it. A laptop and iPad were stolen from other bags.

[Phil (@[email protected]) 🚲🚍🚊 @ascentale]

Found a Kindle belonging to a school-aged "J Olivia" and AirPods belonging to someone who swims a lot in #Rockridge #Oakland Hoping to return to owners. Found in separate black backpacks. Dumped this afternoon after break-ins along College Ave Boost/share if you can help!

@RescueEwe We haven’t tried, mostly due to cost/effort. Also even though I’m sure the drag is not too noticeable, I’m hesitant to make riding any slower right now. We currently use mid-level-cheapo lights purchased online. Had a nice PDW tail light but it broke somehow; probably our fault.

@GeorgeSpies8 Yeah it’s a bummer! They belong to bike bus parents.

[Phil (@[email protected]) 🚲🚍🚊 @ascentale]

Friends’ bikes were stolen today in Oakland please let me know if you spot either of these

[Phil (@[email protected]) 🚲🚍🚊 @ascentale]

@GeorgeSpies8 @buttsmeister @rideact That's the exact technical term I exclaimed when I saw the video!

[Phil (@[email protected]) 🚲🚍🚊 @ascentale]

This might have been the cutest part of the #BikeBus This doesn't happen in a car-school drop off line. I love how bikes build community.

[Phil (@[email protected]) 🚲🚍🚊 @ascentale]

The happiest way to get to school. Not just for the kids who ride together, but for the kids we pass along the way. Especially the kid 0:43 in.
A car-based school dropoff line doesn't do that.
Here's our ride with the #BikeBus this week! https://t.co/c0p3FPjrhv

@JohnBauters The new lanes on 41st are really helpful for improving safety, we rode through a couple of days ago. https://t.co/UCaCjJiUe7

@BIKABOUT Looks beautiful!
