What I’ve learned: Most things don’t work out. Some things do. So keep pedaling forward and trusting the journey.

Seen while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike in the metro Atlanta #suburb-city of #DunwoodyGA. Man with dog came out to make sure I wasn’t leaving bullets and beer cans (which, he said, has been a problem)

For the 10th anniversary of the #DunwoodyCommunityGarden, everyone who was there read the poem (including one of the children who originally read it at the opening). I wish I thought to bring peppermint to hand out!!!! (Photo credit: Connie Morelle)

Having breakfast in my home garden. Feeling grateful for the groundswell of support the #DunwoodyCommunityGarden has experienced over the years. A big thanks to #RickCallahan for this wonderful, thoughtful gift.

Just start. And grow from there. #DunwoodyCommunityGarden Opening Day August 23, 2009. (Sound up) @dunwoodyga (Video by co-founder Jim Hines. Poem by Shel Silverstein.) See foodformydaughters.wordpress.com for dozens of videos of other gardens, plus lots of tips to get growing near you. @aglantagrown @dunwoodyga #communitygarden @planatlanta

I thought this was one of my former #SeniorsOnTrikes students! See TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com Bonus Resources tab for Seniors on Trikes class recommendations for where you live. @bikeleague #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike #seniors #AARP @planatlanta

My 90-year-old friend Rod cut the cake at the 10 Year Anniversary of the #DunwoodyCommunityGarden. About 40 people came, including original members; current members; 4 of the 5 community garden chairs over the past 10 years; one of the children (now a young man) who originally read the poem; the current mayor of Dunwoody plus both candidates for mayor (current city councilors); other city councilors and every candidate for city councilor; and folks who have moved away as near as Decatur and Cherokee County and as far as Costa Rica!

My friends Crist and Amie came from Costa Rica!!!!

After the party was over and everyone left, me and my sweet friend (and fellow sidekick!) Dr.@rebecca_rohloff_clough took a stroll through this scrappy piece of unloved land on which we took a chance, side by side, 10 years ago today. Missing our 3rd partner in crime a whole lot tonight. Super grateful for the outpouring of community and the support of the city.

No need to leave out #vegans when we cut the cake 🤗

Happy 10 years today, #DunwoodyCommunityGarden 🌱🌻🍅

This traffic engineer knows me too well! Yes, of course, I want to be part of the test ride! (And, by the way, he has fixed a bunch of other intersections so they detect bike riders. Thank you, Eli!) #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike #DunwoodyGA

Working on a little #upcycled giveaway for tonight’s 10-year anniversary gathering at the #DunwoodyCommunityGarden

I was gonna do a PDF of all my emails to @cityofdunwoodyga city hall and replies from anyone there re: bikes, in case it is helpful to anyone else, but didn’t realize there have been this many. Let’s just say they have been fully aware of the specific dangers for years. 😞 Change has been happening (thank you), but it’s too slow. Lives are at stake daily.

I can get places in #Dunwoody while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike (including 10 miles round-trip to his kickoff event tonight) with big thanks to @joe4dunwoody! With him in office, maybe I’ll be able to finally hang up #BikeNoodle!

I got bad news 5 days ago. I planted seeds (as I always do when I hear bad news, which I why I live in a jungle). They are up! #GoodHappens #TrustTheJourney

#Ghostbike covered with weeds. High school freshman classmates from when the crash happened now in college. Road still not safe. #VisionZero

Loved your mum’s column, @lordbanjotheroyalpooch. Thank her for the generous shoutout of #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike!

#DunwoodyCommunityGarden turns 10 years old Friday. My, how it has grown. Stop by for cake from 6-8 pm.

Issue 7 cover reveal :) #FoodshedPlanet
