That’s a screenshot above from my latest TikTok, created last night at 11:30 pm. It’s already getting lots of play across social media platforms (see the end of this post to view it).
Time is tik-tokking and we don’t have any more to waste. What gets measured gets done, and I’m measuring (and not just the Width of a Prius, although that’s worth a look). As part of preparing my 1st quarterly report as Metro Atlanta Bicycle Mayor, I’m tracking stats, iterating on the fly, and both expanding and concentrating my efforts as I see what works best.
Here’s the short answer:
I don’t get millions of views and I haven’t gone totally viral yet (although this came close, with thousands of people reached all over the world, and I have high hopes for TikTok, which is off to a fast start). However, I reach so many more people than I would if I was simply showing up at my local city hall*. Join me!

* Been there, done that — have had my lived and learned experience discounted once too often to see that as a sole effective use of the nonrenewable resource of my time. See Cone of Silence, as well as the following TikToks, for my take on that:
** Note that this does not mean that a post that received just one view was not more effective, as that one person (maybe it was even you) could have taken an action as a result (and I continue to get emails that suggest this to be true on an ongoing basis). So never discount small efforts. They add up. You add up. Contact me if I can be of help in any way. My sole goal is to be effective.
