My bus moved 27 people downtown today without taking up any parking, and substantially less contribution to traffic than 27 separate cars. Buses make commutes better for everyone.

When you read the replies to this post, you realize that people truly have no concept of people on bikes having equal rights to the road. All of their arguments boil down to: people in cars have a right to be there, people on bikes do not. Even about the bike lane!

Thankfully Nashville has clearly labeled the boundaries of the business district and has provided appropriate and safe bike infrastructure so people on bikes don't need to use the sidewalk, right?

As I drove along Nolensville Rd this morning between Harding and Thompson Lane I saw 12 people waiting at bus stops. And I didn't start counting until after the big stop by Walmart near Harding.

I sold a bike trailer to a guy today. Also let him try out my electric bike, and I think we have a new convert!

Is the Cumberland Park Sprayground going to be open this summer? Freddie O’Connell Metro Parks

Taking advantage of cheap weekday tickets, and these beautiful spring days before the cicada invasion.

But really, is it? Freddie O’Connell Metro Parks

Shout out to the Hume Fogg math department (Chris Collins) for jumping on the WeGo Public Transit bus with meto get to graduation! And so fun to run into @SandraForNash!

Parenting is just making one crazy-sounding decision after another. Today, after much thought, I decided NOT to install a baby gate blocking our laundry closet to protect the broom from our toddler. But I seriously considered it.

I just got passed on my residential street while driving 25mph (the speed limit).

In other news, our traffic calming project voting with Nashville Department of Transportation was supposed to close on June 14th, but has no results yet.

Idk who needs to hear this, but call your Internet service provider. I just got my speed more than tripled, my monthly cost dropped, and a visa gift card. If you haven't done this recently, you really should.

When you finally get to go somewhere in Nashville without having to drive:

ATFD!

I walked down this road with my high school students 9 hours before this happened. It is a common route for Hume-Fogg students walking to WeGo central, 5th and Broad, or other nearby restaurants.

My "empty" bus helped 30 Nashvillians get into and around downtown this morning 🤷‍♂️

As the parent of 2.5 and 6 year old girls: Mill Ridge park in Antioch is awesome. You gotta check it out if you haven't been out there yet.
