Some people tell me this helmet is “equestrian looking”, I just appreciate commuting in something that goes with work clothes and keeps the helmet police at bay 🤷🏽‍♀️ . Why am I so anti helmet shaming? Helmet laws where I grew up kept me from wanting to ride my bike as a teenager and reluctant to start riding as an adult. Helmets are a great idea, especially for certain types of cycling (🚴🏽‍♀️🚵🏽‍♀️). But if we keep employing the tactic of shaming and lecturing people, we’re just creating one more barrier to people thinking about trying cycling, when the thing that will make it safer for everyone is more 👏butts 👏 on 👏 bikes 🚲 . Fight me in the comments 🥊 . . . . . #whatever #justride #rideyourbike #thenewnormal #rideeverywhere #ridedaily #bikecommute #cyclecommute #bikecommuter #ridemoredriveless #morebuttsonbikes #bikeadvocacy #sharetheroad #lifeinthebikelane #bikelove #thisbikewillchangeyourlife #multimodal #transit #carfree #bikeminded
According to hashtags, #mountaincrushmonday is a thing and I’m really happy about that. Let’s go with #pinnaclemountain and not talk about the mountain of paperwork standing between me and spring break ⛰ . . . . . . . #rideyourbike #dropbarsnotbombs #ridemoredriveless #exploreyourworld #iwanttoridemybicycle #rideeverywhere #ridethatgreenville #roadride #themountainsarecalling #pedalon #pedaldamnit #steelisreal #bikelove #cycling #igerscycling

This post is #notsponsored but definitely brought to you by @ortlieb_waterproof, since I had the genius idea to pick up a roll of roofing felt from @loweshomeimprovement without my trailer 😂 Ortlieb panniers are pricey but they hold up damn well to touring (swipe for that setup 👉), everyday commuting, and shenanigans such as this 👆and yeah, they’re waterproof ☔️ . . . . . . #bikecommute #quaxing #cyclecommute #ridedaily #ridemoredriveless #rideyourbike #rideeverywhere #biketoeverywhere #carfree #iwanttoridemybicycle #putthefunbetweenyourlegs #dropbarsnotbombs #commuterbike #doingthings #thingsilike #highlyrecommended
Ever wonder what the big fuss is with cycling?

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
