The Creature doesn't need no car 🚲​

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy sitting on a large pile of luggage strapped to the rear rack of a cargo e-bike at a harbor loading dock during one bright afternoon. The Creature is in its purple tote on top of two full black military-style duffle bags, which rest on a pair of blue suitcases ratchet-strapped together and positioned sideways on either side of the bike's running boards. The front of the cargo bike is positioned 10 o'clock to the camera, with the red rear light shining toward 4 o'clock. All around the Creature in the surrounding parking lot are parked cars, and in the distance, palm trees and shipping containers are visible.

Do you know any citizen/community scientists or journalists covering environmental / public health issues along the Colorado River?

Next month, I'm going to ride my bike from Denver up into the Rockies, out to Glenwood Springs, and along the Colorado River to Moab, before turning north to Salt Lake City.

Along the way, I'm hoping to meet journalists & community scientists working to support community flourishing with data & evidence. I would love to say hi!

Oh my! I've found my new favorite website of all time: cyclingfallacies.com/

A list of all kinds of uninformed reasons people give for not making it safer and easier to bike, with rebuttals. This is exactly the kind of thing the internet is useful for!

It's available in many languages, and you can help translate it. The content is CC licensed. It's great!

Thanks to the fantastic podcast Bike Talk for letting me know about it!

A 15,000 word article about the physics of a bicycle. It explores the forces that act on a bike in lovely approachable detail.

And it includes 118 wonderful interactive diagrams.

This is such a great piece of work.

Car culture is built on freedom to travel when, where, how, & why one wishes/needs. Travel culture is built on curiosity, the compulsion to experience something different from one’s home ground. These two things are driving a dilemma of exercising freedom v. a sustainable future. EVs reduce atmospheric impact some, but there is collateral damage to the ecosystem. Sustainability won’t happen w/o dramatic cultural change + alternate travel options. #bicycle #trains
