Fruits & Veggies - Have A Plant (@fruits_veggies) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Name a #veggie you can use from root to leaf! Utilizing the whole plant is a great way to reduce food waste AND is great for diversifying the flavors of any dish. Ideas 💡: broths, stocks, salads, stir frys & more using veggies like #beets, #turnips, #carrots & #broccoli 🥕🥦🥬️

So many benefits to staying active with a group! Wouldn’t it be great if every community had a Foxtrotters? If your municipality has such a group, please let me know…I want to follow. Well done, foxtrotters!

THREAD: Bike lanes - they're not created equal. Safe design is the key to whether a bike lane is convenient and usable for riders of all ages and abilities. So which ones work and which ones don't? (Full video: youtu.be/jCeSeUBmXwE)

Paint is not bike lane protection! But a barrier-protected bike lane *can* create a much safer, convenient environment. Keep in mind...low barriers and flexposts aren't protection either.

Bike boxes and left turn boxes: They may work when large enough, but are they an imperfect solution born from vehicular cycling? If they are, what could provide a safer, more attractive alternative for risk-averse riders? (Hint: Protected intersections!)

And finally, a comparison of the protected intersection with the lovely Dutch Roundabout - which puts US versions to shame. Speaking of which, there's protected bike lanes in Rwanda, Buenos Aires, and Taipei. It's time we step up our game in the US.

And of course, many, many, MANY thanks to everyone who assisted equally in its creation whom we can't tag on Twitter. This was one of the most ambitious and time-consuming projects we've ever taken on, and we can't thank you all enough for your assistance.
