I’m a transportation cyclist, safe streets advocate, crossing guard and New Orleans native living in Denver.
- My morning commute.
- This is why I use traffic cones to force sharper and slower turns around our school. Big vehicles with higher and blunter front ends are especially dangerous to children.

- When the “Neighborhood Bikeway” has ZERO traffic calming. Paint and signs will never be enough.
- Right after my PM crossing guard shift, one block from school and on a street heavily used by children riding bikes. WTF?!??

- No Kings rally. Denver 10.18.25.
- She’s BAAAAACK!
- 253 bicycles/scooters around the school for #WalkBikeRollToSchoolDay! A chilly 40° morning too! 🎉
- Monthly allergy shots by bike. There are no bike racks on this car-free side of the building, but the bench works.

- What a great week for the PHE Bike Bus! 121 bikes/scooters parked around the school on Wednesday and 156 today! We got a bunch of racks last year, but are already in need of more. A good problem to have!

- Unless you’re made of sugar, you won’t melt in the rain.
- Covid & Flu vaccines by bike. Lots of car parking, but not a single bike rack. Car-centric infrastructure all but mandates driving instead of giving people the freedom to choose how they get around.
- Our neighbor school has started doing more of their own traffic calming. It’s great to see this tactical urbanism being employed, but frustrating that A. it’s needed at all and B. not being implemented by the city. It really does take a village.
- Time for my annual mammogram bike parking appreciation post. Secure and well-spaced racks near the entrance in a visible but shady spot. Every health center should have similar healthy lifestyle promoting amenities.
- 149 bikes counted around the school today 😍
- This busy school intersection is designated “No Stopping Any Time” for an important reason. Hindering visibility at crosswalks endangers everyone - particularly our most vulnerable road users. We need physical elements to restrict parking and daylight crossings because signs will never be enough.
- Do you know what works better than hi-viz to help you see bicyclists? Drivers actually stopping at stop signs and looking.
- The first Bike Bus day of the 25-26 school year was a huge success! 143 bikes and scooters parked around the campus!
- Another milestone - 7,000 miles on my eBike = 7,000 miles that I didn’t have to drive!
- School zone cones have been fixed, cleaned and sorted for deployment!
- I had a lovely chat with this lady at the grocery store after she told me “Boy, do I miss riding a bicycle.” Ignore the “avid cyclist” who rail against change. Instead, realize it’s these people whom we are failing by not providing safe and connected non-car transportation options.
- “It has focused on improving safety for children, youth, pedestrians and cyclists with safer crosswalks and smarter intersection design.”
- Last night, we were reminded why we fight for safe streets. Alexis Bounds was killed by a truck driver 6 years ago. A tragic and preventable loss. The Alexis Bounds S Marion Pkwy Protected Bikeway, built after her death, is dedicated to her memory and to the sacrifice no one should have to make.
- If you think protected bike infrastructure is expensive, wait until you find out how much car-centric streets cost - both in terms of money and in lives.
- Matinee by bike. Gotta love being able to park a few feet from the entrance just minutes before the movie begins even though the bike racks were full. 💪
