Any lover of Kermit the Frog knows he famously rode a bike in "The Muppet Movie", and in fact has piloted a bicycle quite often in his career. But when I started the #freshKermit hashtag with this quick post a few years back, I wasn't thinking of the friendly amphibian riding a velocipede, I just saw those bright green colors in some of our newest NYC bike lanes and, well people remembered.
If anything, its use on Twitter is becoming more regular, sometimes dozens of contributions per month. I've done a few blog posts on 'em, but love the variety of listings so much, I can't go too long without compiling some for your consumption. Check some of these out!
