BBL: National Bike Month!

May is National Bicycle Month! Here in Buffalo, the bicycle community comes out in full. To semi-quote a bicycle song, get on your bikes and ride!I open the show with a personal update: slightly less depressed! Bicycling is not only my primary mode of transport (no car), it is also my favorite mode of recreation and go-to mood booster. If I’m on my bike, I’m having fun, minimum. I practice some gratitude before activating bike podcast mode.I hop on my bike, activating bike podcast mode, sharing my Bike Month favs here in Buffalo as I intermittently interweave my navigational narrative. Many of my favs are also regular staples but are concentrated and more frequent in May to kick off the warm bike season. Check out the 2025 calendar compiled by Gobike.I’ll share some bicycle riding tips and advice for newbies from a defensive bicyclist perspective. That means I assume (at best) I’m invisible to motorists. At worst, I’m a target for motorist harassment since my legal bicycle’d existence on public streets is a perceived inconvenience to car-world-domination.Wanna Support the Show?Share this shareable link.Where Else Can You find me?➡️Short form pictorial content via Instagram🤳🏽.➡️Long(er) form written content via Substack✍🏼.
