“People will use the infrastructure that you give them, & because we’ve built cities for cars, everyone wants to drive. But if we were to start building cities for people to walk in, people will change their behaviour & will live longer and happier lives.” theguardian.com/cities/2020/oc…

Hundreds of thousands of children cycle to school every morning in the Netherlands. Kids cycling up to 15 km one way are no exception. The streets are literally full of cycling children. The cycle highway from Geldermalsen to Culemborg is one such road. youtube.com/watch?v=OrQ-d2…

During 2020 we all noticed fewer motor vehicles on our roads. Our quieter roads were filled with people cycling. I was one of them. We have an opportunity to maintain this trend, let's seize it. ❤️🏃🏾‍♀️🚲🦽🛴 @BWMnetwork @ColmorePe Woodthorpe Junior & Infant School WheelersLane Primary Sustrans West Midlands
