(I’ll leave this as my space holder until June as I take a break to center #joy during the rest of #NationalBikeMonth.) Every day I take a #LeapOfFaith, and I look forward to the day when riding a 🚲 does not require one. We deserve the dignity of safe-access-for-all now, not in 20 years. Children don’t wait; they grow up (mine have). I’m 57 years old. Time is tiktoking. Less talk, more action from our representatives and city staffs (and #greenwashing doesn’t count). We have had enough death. #travelingatthespeedofbike #bicyclemayor #NationalBikeMonth #rollingwave #bikethere @bicyclingmag @tmagazine @secretarypete #MothersDay

If interested in full post, see “I’m Rethinking Things” on TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com. Tapping out for the rest of #NationalBikeMonth to simply ride my bike, and maybe meet some more nice strangers @todaysnicestranger, ride MARTA for the first time since pandemic, rejoin the High Museum, start making my way back . . . Hope to see u soon.

Or maybe it’s better with music?

Today’s #RollingWave in honor of #NationalBikeToSchoolDay! (Wait; was that yesterday? I saw no kids either day 😞)NationalBikeMonth #bicyclemayor

“Give us this day our daily greens . . . “

Wheat straw on some of my garden paths sprouted and now I have a field of swaying golden wheat and I couldn’t ❤️ it more. 🌾

If this is how interesting and beautiful a #pea flower is, imagine how interesting and beautiful u r.

Today’s #RollingWave features my new bike trailer from Adam @brookhavenbikealliance on the #SharedStreet I created in my no-sidewalk neighborhood where everyone already walks in the street (and a driver recently hit a child on a 🚲 ). (Tip: Don’t ask for permission for things that don’t require permission! #JustDoIt!) Adam sold this bike trailer to me for $25! Thanks, Adam! (See his photo @todaysnicestranger.) Who knows what things I’ll haul?!!! Or I may plant a garden in it and share it all over #Dunwoody, or even #MetroAtlanta (#bikes are allowed at all times on #MARTA 🚂)! Where r your 🚲 travels taking u? Share your #RollingWave so we can welcome more people into the #bikeboom movement! (#SharingIsCaring!) #sharinggarden #NationalBikeMonth #peopleforbikes #bicyclemayor

Meet Adam. He’s #TodaysNiceStranger! He bought this gorgeous new electric #cargobike for zipping to the supermarket as #OneLessCar in #BrookhavenGA. I bought his old bike trailer! @brookhavenbikealliance Meet more nice strangers while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike @todaysnicestranger

Practically got drunk on #honeysuckle nectar today

I’ve either gotten a little teary or waved frantically every time I’ve seen the buses this past week. They had been gone here for over a year. Welcome back. (Sound up)

Got my #RollingWave in between storms today! Making lemonade out of lemons 🍋 and feeling #free as a #butterfly when I’m #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike!!! #NationalBikeMonth #peopleforbikes #bikethere #ridespot #bicyclemayor #RollingWaveUSA

So many wheels in my car, now that I’ve been taking my 85-year-old mom for a roll various places!

If this is how interesting and beautiful an #onion flower is, imagine how interesting and beautiful u r.

Rained out from your 🚲 ride and don’t know what to do? Stock up from only bookshop in 🌎 with just 🚲 📚! Supports indie shops. Carefully curated! bookshop.org/shop/bike books #NationalBikeMonth #RainyNightInGeorgia

Glad I got to ride here yesterday, before the torrential storms today. Give it a few days (it floods). I bet it’ll be even greener and prettier! (Sound up to hear the birds!) @peopleforbikes #Ridespot

Today’s a great day to join the #RollingWave across the #USA 🇺🇸🚲❤️ #NationalBikeMonth #bikethere #bicyclemayor See TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com for #stories from around the 🌎, and welcoming routes in and around #Atlanta.
