@joanbybike My kid is a boy who likes to wear dresses and I will absolutely get on this if nobody else has in the next 10-12 years.

@joanbybike From the time he was a little kid my mom really wanted my brother to want to be on the Rose Court so she could fight to make the court all-gender. This was 20+ years ago. Our high school didn’t have a Princess so it was moot in the end.

@davebinnig @juleezworld @BFryback It woke me up! It also woke up my husband, although he didn’t know why he was awake. And my kid said he saw a toy hanging in his room swaying.

@davebinnig Criminal. I’m so glad you’re physically ok.

Me: explains the basics of charter reform to my 5yo
5yo: “That sounds like a good idea. But maybe there will be drama.”
This kid is a natural at city politics.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@BFryback Ugh, why are these 1) blocking the sidewalk and 2) parking on the sidewalk?

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

Bike on a bike!

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@twjpdx23 Anything 30 or above is super easy because I can set cruise control and be sure I’m not speeding. I wish it were available for the lower speeds too.

@nictrieslife @CathyTuttle @BikeMetro I think this is what you were telling me about when I first asked you about it. I couldn’t remember what it was called, thanks.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

What nerdy planning/transportation things should I see in LA? Will be based near Hollywood.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@CathyTuttle @BikeMetro Anything on the non transportation side? Parks/plazas/neighborhoods?

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@BFryback I’m sorry, that kind of works sucks. I combed through the crash data for 2021 earlier this year and it was super depressing. All those people just dead.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@AnnaZivarts We got a tagalong as a compromise, would your kid settle for that? Mine feels like he’s biking since he has pedals and a shifter and I’m happy because he can’t wander off in the road without me.

@Gwennieshaw @Citizen_Cate In terms of future insurance reasons, our doc said that it would be a good idea to send him a picture of a positive home test so it would be in our medical record, but that a PCR wasn’t necessary. Don’t know if that varies based on the medical system.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@alidacantor @CoachBalto @bikeloudpdx Omg yay/good for you! Currently organizing for Walk & Bike to School Day at our school, hoping to make it more regular if it goes well.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@amandaljudkins Tactical urbanism ftw!

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@amandaljudkins Better than gluten-free!

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@RescueEwe Ah yes, that disappearing bike lane is one of the highlights of our school route.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

@Geo_Rex_H @trimet I didn’t bother because it seemed pointless, although looking back I should have just parked myself there and asked lots of pointed questions so the other people around would get both sides of the story.

[Claire Vlach @cl_vlach]

Interesting choice to feature freeway expansion propaganda at the opening of @trimet’s new marquee bus line. If you like transit you’ll love this monument to fossil fuels and air pollution!
