TGIFinally spring and I can actually enjoy road rides again 🙌 lots of climbing to do to prep for this summer 🏔🏔🏔 . . . . . . . #roadride #roadcycling #wheellove #igerscycling #yeahthatgreenville #ridethatgreenville #velovaletsrides #titanium #dropbarsnotbombs #rideoutside #strava #fromwhereiride #letsplaybikes #bikestagram #gooutsideandplay #lovewhereyoulive
Today marks 4 years from the day I handed over the keys to my car and felt the weight of 3,200 lbs of metal lifted from my shoulders. At least that’s what it felt like to realize I had no insurance payments to fork over, no tax bills to dread in the mail, no random safety recall notices or worries about getting stranded somewhere with a weird electrical failure under the hood (yeah, that happened). At the time I figured if I needed to get an Uber once or twice a month it would still save money and hassle to be carfree. Turns out, carpooling when necessary is quite easy, Greenlink though grossly underfunded is still pretty great, and saying “no” to inconveniently located events is liberating. But for the most part all I need is Queen B and my legs. So hope you’re on to better and brighter things, 2010 Malibu, cause I haven’t missed you one bit 💁🏽‍♀️ . . . . . #thankunext #carfree #twowheels #iwanttoridemybicycle #ridemoredriveless #happybikeday #andmanymore #bikelove #wheellove #lifebehindbars #cyclecommute #bikecommute #liveyourbikelife #putthefunbetweenyourlegs

“Replace my stem cap” has been on my to do list since it fell out somewhere in #MSP last year... should probably do something about that. 🤔 . . . . . . #bikeride #bikelife #bikecommute #rideyourbike #yeahthatgreenville #carfree #twowheels #biketoeverywhere #ridemoredriveless #iwanttoridemybicycle #iwanttoridemybike #spring #sunshine #dropbarsnotbombs
Did you know it takes as much water to make one cotton T-shirt as a typical adult drinks in one year? 💦 These and other 🤯 facts about how our fashion practices are destroying the earth are encouraging me to slow my roll on clothing and nonessential consumption this year. Inspired by @oneoutfit100days, I wore the same dress to work every day last week (washed it midway and switched out cardigans/accessories) and guess what? no one noticed (or at least bothered to ask 😝)! This made me realize I could easily cut my closet in half.. again! moral of the story: worry more about the planet and less about whether other people think you’re a weirdo ✌️ . . . . . #onedressoneweek #bikecommute #treehugging #loveyourmotherearth #earthdayeveryday #reduce #reuse #rewear #sustainability #ecothings #wiwtw #cyclecommute #carfree #slowfashion #slowliving
You know you’re ready for another bike tour when you start packing in March for a trip that isn’t until June 😂 as a 2019 Greg Siple recipient, I’ll be going to Denver June 6-9 for a leadership skills training course so I can introduce bike touring to more people! My first outreach project back home will be coordinating an overnight trip with our @momentumbikeclubs high school challenge team members. As a recipient of this award I also get to choose an @adventurecycling self contained tour in 2020 🤩 which one should I take‽ 🚴🏽‍♀️🗺🏕 . . . . . #jumpstartbiketravel #adventurecycling #biketour #biketouring #gregsiple #letsgoplaces #rideyourbike #biketoeverywhere #bikewander #pedalforever #rideon #twowheels #optoutside #bikepackinglife #cycletouring #cycletour
Shout out to those errands where I doubt what I’m doing and consider borrowing a vehicle (like say, transporting cut flowers, kombucha starter and seedling plants) and the follow up feeling of “hell yeah I didn’t need a car for this!” 🌼🥃🌱👊 . . . . . . #everythingmadeit #quaxing #lifebybike #biketoeverything #errandsbybike #neighborly #ridemoredriveless #carfree #rideyourbike #yougotthis
