Married to @elenasor.bsky.social with 1 cat & 2 sons. Building bike lanes and bikeshare in the Virginia suburbs by day. Views are mine! Enjoys #ebikes #walks #kayaks #urbanism #trains #modeltrains #ALX Occasionally writes highspeedfail.blogspot.com
Today, I provided feedback on an environmental review for widening Interstate 95 to add HOT lanes in Virginia and like WTF are we doing? We cannot breathe the air without inhaling wildfire smoke from global warming. This is almost a decade after state study found that more lanes in I-95 is pointless
A bit of a wet start to our first bikepacking trip of the season. Ride down to Pohick Bay was mostly nice. Fortunately there is a shower and laundry right across from our site #cargobike #camping #bikeva
Was pleased to see these new painted curb extensions at Gunston Re and Martha Custis Dr. This intersection is absurdly wide and now it has been right sized. It is a key connection for people walking and biking to invade Shirlington. Thanks @alexandriavagov.bsky.social T&ES staff! #bikeva
I don't think I would have bought an oil derrick but it has a moving pump and light up oil
A friend of mine gave me a streetcar their dad used to own. Looks to be made by Bowser (likely 40+ years ago) and has exactly zero electronics inside, just an old motor. Greased its gears and it runs okay! #ogauge #modeltrains
Yeah, rode out to get milk and saw weather looked bad but thankfully made it back in the wicked world with only some light drops
@yimbyaction.bsky.social 's local NOVA chapter Phoebe Coy's talking about their fabulous work and advocacy efforts #alx #yimby
One of my favorite features of Witter Pl is the gorgeous mural of flowers, butterflies and birds!
Walking with @betterdcregion.bsky.social along Duke St with @byronpeebles.com @buschwacker.bsky.social @sbreehey.bsky.social @elenasor.bsky.social and many more!
Biked by the new Eclarions in Old Town Alexandria and I think it too used to be an automotive garage (someone on FB says it was a Sinclair gas station). Have gone by the building a bunch of times but never noticed until your post
Got to use the cargo bike for CaBi inspection and flexpost installs! #cargobike #bikeshare
My building has a dedicated bike room (often required for new buildings, others like mine retrofit them). For groceries, I can use the front rack and put items on the back. I often take two children.
@ternbicycles.com 's transporteur rack holds a folder BOB stroller really well!
