That’s a wrap on Week 1 (of a 6-week sabbatical to rethink things, and test some new ideas). Quit Facebook. Wrote zero blog posts (a miracle). Limited Twitter and Instagram (am trying to stay completely off, but cold turkey is hard, plus I had to call out egregious #greenwashing). Pitched 4 articles. Launched a serial release of a new book. Talked to people from #Costa Rica to #Tasmania. Helped connect some Metro #Atlanta folks re: #bicyclemayor stuff. Became a Beta-tester for two #activemobility services as a #TrustTheJourney #influencer. Had my weekly bocce game with hubby, and hung out with/helped my family. FYI, in the last 3 weeks, I have now #rollerskated at a school parking lot, a track, the top of a MARTA parking deck, a #TonyHawk-designed #skatepark, a multiuse trail, a cul de sac, my kitchen and foyer, a garage, and the mall parking lot.I have a LOT to say about my findings, but I’ll save that for another time! Hope to see u out there #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike!

Am on a 6-week sabbatical (until September 1). Rockin’ my #Plasket #bike basket (reclaimed ocean plastic), pitching articles, connecting with more #changeagents globally (this week included people in #Atlanta, #NewYork, #CostaRica, and #Tasmania), meeting new people #rollerskating, helping my family, and doing a listening tour in order to increase outcome efficiency this fall. Am also evaluating additional #activemobility, #sustainability, and #over50 #brandambassador requests. Hope to cross paths with you!

Thanks, Ron from Chicago! #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike

RIP, dear sir (1-year anniversary today). We r continuing your #GoodTrouble. #JohnLewis #GeorgiaStateCapitol #streetphotography

My last 2.5 weeks. Which coincided with the 1-year anniversary of surviving a #HitAndRun while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike in the place I call home. This helped center #joy. #selfcare #rollerskate #RoadViolenceSurvivor #ThisIs57 #NotTodaySatan #LiveOutLoud

Today’s #LeapOfFaith. I still believe in #SlowDuckCrossing. I still believe in me.

Guess where I am?! #SlowDuckCrossing

Meet Daniel Eppstein, the latest story in an ongoing series of profiles of people making it more welcoming to ride bikes 🚲 and occupy #public space close to home and around the 🌎 🌍. See TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com. @bicyclingmag @outsidemagazine @nytimes @wsj @guardian @bycs #bycs #bicyclemayor #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike

Nothing changes if we don’t change.

Practicing stopping (in more ways than one)

It was comin’ a toad-strangler today while I was #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike! Didn’t stop me from my daily #LeapOfFaith!

See TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com and meet people making it more welcoming to ride #bikes and access #public space. I just added a bunch of links to bios of the amazing bike tour guides from @biketoursatl (which I was hired to write for their website). #bicyclemayor @bycs @peopleforbikes @bikeleague #bikeboom #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike 🚲❤️🤸‍♀️

Lol. I can only get better! (A year ago today I was contacting @peepslawyer after surviving a #hitandrun while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike. Am grateful to be able to #rollerskate, and still ride my #bike, today.) #RoadViolenceSurvivor #ThisIs57

Now done. Movin’ on. #RoadViolenceSurvivor

If I interview u via phone/Slack/WhatsApp for TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike.com (or when I get interviewed for podcasts, etc), it’s usually from here.

1st time skating at a skate park — and it’s one designed by #TonyHawk! 🤸‍♀️

Skates and bike match now ❤️🚲🤸‍♀️🎨
