A story of fender ❤️ and a Mayor’s hose 💦 kindness. We had enough foresight to know electric ⚡️ assist was necessary for our family to enjoy the 340 mile ride from Pittsburgh to DC on the Great Allegheny Passage trail and C&O. BUT, in our effort to procure an #ebike from @pedego that would accommodate the @burleydesign Piccolo trailerbike, we didn’t anticipate mud. Kyle is a ninja with bike hacks and outfitted this rando cruiser fender and we were all significantly dryer and cleaner than we would have been. Still, walking all crusty across this bridge to Harper Ferry at the end of a very muddy day, we were exhausted and just wanted water, for our bodies and bikes. Our lodging didn’t have a hose so I started walking down the street and noticed a sprinkler and knocked on the door. The lady who answered the door was weary, but when she saw my then 6 year old daughter, she warmed up and shoved the hose at us. She turned out to be the Mayor’s wife and our bikes were sooooo grateful to sleep clean that night. #bikewander #familybiketour #ebikesarecheating . . .

I love when my bikey friends visit, even when they are more Oregonian than me. Kate and Dave (who I know from Boston), it was a beautiful morning ride and lunch with y’all on the @hcrhighway trail! #hcrhtrail #oregon #columbiagorge #thunderisland #bikeride #bikabouthoodriver

While we watched @motherloadmovie, a cargo bike documentary, 2 big things occurred to me: 1) I’m so thankful to the founder of @xtracycle for being so passionate about transportation biking and not giving up on his dream and 2) Liz Canning needs to make a second film on the #ecargobike tsunami 🌊 that will wash away the past 50 years of transportation planning and glide us to where we should be, living our best lives and connecting with each other. #bestlife . . .

I got to lead an #ebike 🚲 tour of waterfalls 💦 and the brand new section of the @hcrhighway trail featuring an amazing viaduct and bench cut. I think the #apbp (walking-biking-transit nerds 🤓) were grateful for a day out of conference rooms and in nature. There’s nothing like learning through shared experiences. Thanks to @sol_rides fir providing a great fleet of @blixbike and @oregon_dot for helping coordinate the tour with @grayline_sightseeing! #apbp2019 #urbanplanning #ebikesarecheating #ebikes #blixbike #waterfall #starvationcreek

Just returned from a very unplanned Labor Day weekend of camping ⛺️, riding 🚲 and unplugging in Madras and Metolius Rivershed, 2 new places for us. Feeling recharged and ready for the first day of school tomorrow. More photos of the trip to come...#bikecamping #covepalisadesstatepark #bikaboutoregon #oregon

The #cargobike tsunami 🌊 is coming and the future is bright! I helped organize a Bike-In 🚲 🎥 screening of @motherloadmovie in Hood River and not only did it attract a few new faces to our advocacy circle, but it showed us all that bicycle mobility can bring joy, health, financial and community well being and take us places in a very functional and efficient way. Props to Liz Canning, the filmmaker and thank you 🙏 for letting me be a part of such an important project. #motherloadmovie #cargobikelife #cargobike #ebikesarecheating #ebike #ebikes #ecargobike #hoodriver #bikeinmovie

2 steps forward, 1 step back. Even with the existential threat of climate change, broad public support for a 1st class biking and walking network AND cheerleading from city management and @oregon_dot (this is not usual and should be commended), we chose to pander to a vocal minority that doesn’t understand how to mitigate congestion and resists change. I look forward to this weekend lighting a fire 🔥 in the bellies of all the moms and dads out there that want a different future for their children and mobility freedom for our elders. I am not anti-car. I am anti-car dependent and there is a difference and with course correction and fists in the air ✊, we’ll get there. In the words of the @grand_royale_original #BeastieBoys cover band that rocked my socks off last night, “you gotta fight for your right to party.” #hoodriver #familybikemafia #ourstreets #familybikeride #humanizetheheights #bikabouthoodriver

Riding home from a night out, especially on a full moon 🌕, continues to be one of my top 10 things. It’s so quiet, the natural smells come back after being disguised by auto fumes all day and you can take your time meandering. I feel like a city shows you who it is at night and Portland is lovely with the neighborhood greenways with dense old growth tree 🌳 canopies. #nightriding #bikinghome #bikeride #morrisonbridge #portland #bikaboutportland #gazellebikes @gazellebikes

Electric cargo bikes are social lubricants for #seniors. This is Joan with her husband and grandson.

Poor bikes have no idea what’s coming...SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY. We’re tearing the roof off the stadium and filling it with mud, Mud, MUD! There are 2 non-muddy stretches of the C&O: Paw Paw tunnel and the Western Maryland Rail Trail. This is why all the lodging along the trail have hoses 🚿 readily available and some even have brushes. We had to do a DEEP clean of the @pedego and all the electric connections at the end. #candotowpath . . . Tag @bikabout or #EbikesareCheating on socials and we’ll share your cheating 🤫 story.

More photos of the trip to come...#bikecamping #covepalisadesstatepark #bikaboutoregon #oregon The #cargobike tsunami 🌊 is coming and the future is bright! I helped organize a Bike-In 🚲 🎥 screening of @motherloadmovie in Hood River and not only did it attract a few new faces to our advocacy circle, but it showed us all that bicycle mobility can bring joy, health, financial and community well being and take us places in a very functional and efficient way. Props to Liz Canning, the filmmaker and thank you 🙏 for letting me be a part of such an important project. #motherloadmovie #cargobikelife #cargobike #ebikesarecheating #ebike #ebikes #ecargobike #hoodriver #bikeinmovie 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Even with the existential threat of climate change, broad public support for a 1st class biking and walking network AND cheerleading from city management and @oregon_dot (this is not usual and should be commended), we chose to pander to a vocal minority that doesn’t understand how to mitigate congestion and resists change. I look forward to this weekend lighting a fire 🔥 in the bellies of all the moms and dads out there that want a different future for their children and mobility freedom for our elders. I am not anti-car. I am anti-car dependent and there is a difference and with course correction and fists in the air ✊, we’ll get there. In the words of the @grand_royale_original #BeastieBoys cover band that rocked my socks off last night, “you gotta fight for your right to party.” #hoodriver #familybikemafia #ourstreets #familybikeride #humanizetheheights #bikabouthoodriver Grilling 🌽 picnic and vineyard 🍷 tour made possible by the magical #ebike. #bikepicnic #winebybike . . .

It’s so quiet, the natural smells come back after being disguised by auto fumes all day and you can take your time meandering. I feel like a city shows you who it is at night and Portland is lovely with the neighborhood greenways with dense old growth tree 🌳 canopies. #nightriding #bikinghome #bikeride #morrisonbridge #portland #bikaboutportland #gazellebikes @gazellebikes Ebikes make multi-day #biketouring for young families, not only possible, but highly enjoyable. This is day 1 of the Great Allegheny Passage trail, fresh out of Pittsburgh, where you get to ride over, under and across a series of gorgeous steel bridges. #familyvacation #greatalleghenypassage . . .

This is Joan with her husband and grandson. She is 74 and not comfortable riding a bike, so I ran home and grabbed the #urbanarrow so she could hop in and enjoy my bike tour with her family. She talked to them, took photos of the scenery and got to relax and take in the beauty that is the Historic Columbia River Hwy Trail.

We’re tearing the roof off the stadium and filling it with mud, Mud, MUD! There are 2 non-muddy stretches of the C&O: Paw Paw tunnel and the Western Maryland Rail Trail. This is why all the lodging along the trail have hoses 🚿 readily available and some even have brushes. We had to do a DEEP clean of the @pedego and all the electric connections at the end. #candotowpath . . . Tag @bikabout or #EbikesareCheating on socials and we’ll share your cheating 🤫 story.

Time for some family bike rides. Did you know one of our favorite bike hacks is an #ebike with a #kidstrailerbike? Mom or Dad pedals effortlessly while kiddo pedals when they want while still feeling apart of the action. This is the @pedego + #burleypiccolo but we’ve also seen a @radpowerbikes + piccolo. #familybikeride . . . Use #EbikesareCheating or tag @Bikabout on socials and we’ll share your cheating 🤫 story.
