This week in our round-up of must-read posts: One intrepid neighbor pounded the pavement to learn: how do people get to Columbia Road NW -- and how do they think others get there? The findings are, well, not surprising! Meanwhile, Capital Bikeshare continues to shatter all-time ridership records, and micromobility use overall is surging, too. Pedestrian deaths increased during the pandemic, and a new study explores why -- challenging some assumptions. And as back-to-school season is upon us, bike buses inject community and fun into the school commute.
P.S. Are you dreaming of cooler days? Join us on September 25 at Metrobar for the biggest pro-transit, pro-housing party around: the GGWash Fall Mixer. Tickets and details >>
