Today is not that day

There will be a day when I can no longer do this. Today is not that day.

My 85-year-old mother’s first iPhone.(my nephew’s old one)

Bubble dining in Downtown #AlpharettaGA

We’re not out of the woods yet, folks. Our #trails are getting more crowded with the warmer weather. If u need a #bike-themed #facemask for #NationalBikeMonth, see the menu on TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com for link to order the #ArtsyBike face mask. I just rode 10 miles on a well-populated trail with it and it is comfortable. All proceeds help people.

Who needs vacation when u got this?! #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike

Just saw this! Thanks, @realtormarymorrison! Did u get some?

Cool. Almost all of them got adopted last night. #SharingGarden

It’s been a week!

#SharingGarden

Hilly ride today under interstates #285/#75 with the always-interesting #BetsyEggers of the #PeachtreeCreekGreenway

Yesterday the City of #DunwoodyGA did a 1-day 1-block test of a temporary pop-up protected bike lane on #dangerousbydesign Mt. Vernon Road. Please thank them for their vision! They r now considering testing a pretty planter, a local-artist-painted curb (like the picnic table project but representing neighborhoods!) and a #wavedelineator in a competitive process around the city where neighborhoods apply for this immediate safety upgrade as we enter warmer bike-riding weather during the biggest #bikeboom since the 1970s — if someone will volunteer to pursue a grant! Who’s ready to be a hero? (Side note: this week, a child riding a bike in my neighborhood was run off the road by a driver, flipped over the handlebars, and was injured. The driver did not stop. I recommended @peepslawyer @bikelaw, the lawyer/firm that represented me when I was recently hit from behind while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike in #DunwoodyGA. I also suggested the addition of a #slowstreet or #sharedstreet sign.)

So I told my younger daughter, “That tree where the pig used to live is blooming,” and she knew exactly what I meant. (My older daughter was actually a penpal with that pig!) #SenseOfPlace #Home

Working on my next @peopleforbikes #RideSpot tour! Am under the deadliest highway in the USA! #i285

#ArtOfBikeRiding

This one’s for my daughters. Momma’s goin’ to Washington. Kids don’t wait for safe places to ride. They grow up. The best time for change for my family would have been 20 years ago, when my kids were young (and we tried). The second best time is now. #LobbyDay #BikeSummit21 #CompleteStreetsAct #TransportationAlternatives #SafeStreetsAct

Putting on my “jewelry” for #BikeSummit21 #LobbyDay at the U.S. Capitol today. People all over the USA are meeting with their elected officials virtually to ask for safer streets for all. I am meeting with #SenatorWarnock and #RepresentativeMcBath.

So I rode around today with one earphone in, listening to a virtual bike tour of DC at #BikeSummit21 while passing all the blooming cherry blossoms 🌸 in #MetroAtlanta!!!!

My fellow writer friends will understand the incredible peaceful #joy and #gratitude of the magical moment when u write these words on your new #book’s first draft, as I did this morning. (sound up) #slowduckcrossing 📚 ❤️ To have almost died in July when I was hit by a driver in the place I call home while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike, to now being able to do this is just overwhelming to me. And I think what I wrote is better after having experienced that. Good ol’ #TrustTheJourney. 🙏

Aren’t they all? #bikemagic

Wrote and rode early today so I could join 1,000 of my closest friends at #BikeSummit21! We just took a stunning virtual #biketour of the Dutch city of #Delft! #slowduckcrossing #travelingatthespeedofbike

Homemade pizza with jalapeños from last year’s #garden (frozen whole— they last GREAT); kale just picked. Wine from the local Italian market. Plate from the original #DeanAndDeLuca in #NYC from when I worked weekends there in the late 1980s. Watching our final selection (out of 7 total) in the #AJFF #film festival. We’ve “been” to #Italy, #Copenhagen, #Chicago, #Israel, #Brooklyn, and several other places this week due to the magic of movies :) (god, I miss traveling!) Tonight is 4 shorts.
