There’s no such thing as “boys” and “girls” bikes, they are all built with the same high quality components and child specific geometry. But if you would like something a little more feminine, @rascal_rides have found some great picks for you! 😍🚴🐸 buff.ly/2uf1sUI

I'd say 70% of the emails I get from parents are asking about what size bike to get their kids. So many emails! That's why I'm digging the new @WoombikesUSA size chart. Wish everybody made it this easy.

Forget your 7 seater cars....

Six up on the bike today (room for one more on the back if I lost my basket!). One nearly 8yo, one 7.5yo, two 5yo's and a nearly-2yo. Glad of the e-assist for the hills!

I literally NEVER want to hear another rant about people on bikes blowing stop signs... not even once. Ever. This driver is what I see all day, every day. #DemandMore

#UPDATE The children were riding their bikes on the sidewalk, heading southbound on Cottle Rd. I spoke with neighbors who describe traffic issues in the area, and with witnesses who describe the chaotic felony hit-and-run scene. Read more: abc7ne.ws/2Q2Mz1G #abc7now

Dirty Drop-Off: Parents taking their kids to school by car contribute to very high air pollution concentrations, study finds. With kindergarten play yards often located next to drop-off zones, the youngest students get the most exposure to auto exhaust buff.ly/2NGRRyd

On this first day of school, let us share in a moment of silence for all those kids who will never experience the joy, freedom, and personal growth that comes from self-propulsion. #yycbike #yegbike @yycbe @AlbertaEd #backtoschool guide.saferoutesinfo.org/int…

Hi everyone, I went out this evening for a bit of cyclocross practice but ended up playing around in a little river, I’m not sure it’s going to help my cyclocross much but it was awesome fun! Ruby X #crossiscoming
