  • Witness: August 21, 2017, Mackay, Idaho

    It was just another beautiful morning in the high desert. I put on the solar glasses and tracked the moon’s collision course with the sun.

  • Great is the Motorcycle!

  • Transportation Alternatives 50th Anniversary Ride

    For 50 years, Transportation Alternatives has advocated for bike infrastructure in New York City. For many years, it was a tough slog, but slow and steady progress was made.
