We’re excited to share some wonderful news: Neighborhood Bike Works has been named a 2026 Philly Favorite for Bicycle Shop by Philly Favorites / The Philadelphia Inquirer! 🎉

This recognition means a lot because it reflects the support and enthusiasm of the people who make NBW what it is — our staff, volunteers, board, youth, donors, customers, and neighbors.

What makes this especially meaningful is that NBW is so much more than a bike shop. Every refurbished bike sold, every repair completed, every volunteer hour, and every welcoming interaction helps support our mission of inspiring youth and strengthening Philadelphia through equitable access to bicycling and bike repair.

This award belongs to all of you.

Thank you for the care, skill, patience, and heart you bring to Neighborhood Bike Works every day. Whether you shop in our bike store, teach youth how to true a wheel, help someone fix a flat at Bike Church, serve on a committee, process donations, support a fundraiser, or simply help make the space feel welcoming — you are part of this recognition.

We’re incredibly grateful and proud to share this with all of you.

Thank you for helping make NBW such a special place. ❤️

Data centers are being constructed at a rapid rate globally. But these sprawling, complex, and technology-packed facilities pose a number of unique fire and electrical hazards.

It's not surprising that another theme of this year's National Electrical Safety Month is data center safety.

To learn more about data centers and how safety professionals are trying to keep pace, read the Spring 2026 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Journal cover story: https://nfpa.social/4tkvOjW

Home charging shouldn’t be a barrier to EV ownership.

ChargePoint and OBE Power are partnering up to solve the lack of charging at multifamily residences across North America. Together we are bringing reliable charging solutions to the types of housing which previously made EV ownership a struggle, planning to install as many as 2,500 charging ports this year. ⚡

By combining ChargePoint’s charging technology, software, and services with OBE Power’s owned-and-operated infrastructure model, we’re helping property owners simplify deployment while supporting the growing demand for EV charging in multifamily communities.

🏢 Scalable deployment model
🔌 End-to-end charging management
⚡ Reliable charging for residents
📈 Built for long-term growth

If by ‘regulated’ you mean cozied up with state legislatures and governors to receive authorizations to drill, pipe, burn (and leak) methane gas (worse than coal when you account for leaks as estimated by aerial surveys since 2017), coal etc and build high-profit transmission lines at ratepayer expense — a booming fraud even before data center expansion for AI came on the scene.

Remember when the main argument against renewables was "what happens when the sun goes down?" Battery costs dropped 93% since 2010. Solar plus storage now provides continuous power cheaper than fossil fuels. The argument didn't age well. Neither did the oil supply chain.
