Want to enjoy this kind of low-stress, family transportation? Sound good to never worry about finding a parking space? Come visit us.

Just ticked past 1,000 joyful miles on our box bike! We've used it to take our kiddo to childcare, visit friends and family, pick up groceries, go to the park, and run errands.
48% of all trips taken by Seattleites are under 3 miles — a lot of those could be done by cargo bike!

Let’s get rid of all EV subsidies and put that money towards transit and e-bikes.

[Streetsblog USA @StreetsblogUSA]

U.S. electric vehicles are only slightly less harmful to the environment and society than conventional gasoline cars, according to a new in-depth analysis that should encourage policymakers to rethink their whole subsidy regime. https://t.co/8fCDrNXpPQ

@seattletimes @MikeLindblom Cool thing is that bikes always get on board. Just be sure to show up at least 15 minutes before departure. I rode out and did two nights of backpacking in the Olympics this week.

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

Yes!!! Let’s continue to make it safer and easier to use bikes for transportation in Seattle!

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

My smartest friends, including those in the San Francisco Bay Area who have been lifelong Dems, rarely drive cars and prefer bicycles for transportation.

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

@CbtAntoine @riesemuller @EUROBIKE_SHOW Yes.

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

@AmericanFietser They also need to offer a drivetrain with a wider gear range for those of us that live in hilly areas. The last time I sold a bakfiets with Enviolo was three years ago.

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

@jasonford1 Yes!

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

C’mon @MayorofSeattle. People of Seattle want more Bicycle Weekends and your office demands less? Why? https://t.co/zAoeI5REbP

@jerimiah797 I have one that he provided and left behind. Issued in Florida. Looks kinda like him, if he was younger and heavier. I should not have accepted it. I am too trusting. I guess the new policy is “out of state license means we go on a test ride together.”

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

It looks like we’ve had our first theft via test ride. The bike has been gone over 1.5 hours, though we were supposed to see it back in 15 minutes. Posting to @stolenbikessea now.

Thief is 6’2”, wearing a blue raincoat. Bike is a Riese & Müller Charger4 Touring HS in dark red.

@bikeshopgirlcom Picking up a bass guitar after a full tune up. (They call it a “set up” which confuses me.)

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

Rainier Ave is broken. Fix this @MayorofSeattle

[Rainier Valley Greenways Safe Streets @RVGreenways]

We're relieved that there were no serious injuries, but this crash put the lives of innocent bystanders just trying to enjoy a baseball game at risk. This shouldn't happen on a 25 mph road

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

Many customers assume that box bikes are only useful for hauling young kids. But here is a wonderful moment I had a few nights ago with my 14yo and 11yo squeezed into our @riesemuller Load4 75. “Not very comfy” they said, but they were smiling.

[Jarrett Walker @humantransit]

Seattle area commuter rail riders want regional rail, not commuter rail. All-day, all-week, two-way service is the future for most US systems. It will require some battles over track access and labor arrangements, but it's what the market demands ...

[Dandelion Bikes @dandelion_bikes]

@GordonOfSeattle Dropped off my kiddo and headed to work without a jacket. Feels amazing.

[Gordon Padelford @GordonOfSeattle]

Our #TreeByBike tradition continues! This year made easier with a box bike. We headed up to Beacon Hill to support El Centro de la Raza at their annual Christmas tree sale (https://t.co/EyHQW2QegC)
