Removing or restricting cars in a city increases liveability, which in turn leads to a rise in land values. Numerous studies show that reducing car use on streets leads to a rise in the value of commercial and residential properties. euronews.com/next/2023/09/2…

Children. The future is theirs to make. If we let them cycle now, they'll continue to ride for the rest of their lives, which will turn out happier and healthier than ours! bycs.org/childrensmanif…

I’m not saying EVs aren’t part of the broader solution, but the primary goal HAS to be less driving & fewer cars. Picture tobacco companies selling “better cigarettes” as the solution (which can actually lead to MORE smoking), when we know the real solution is much less smoking.

The winner of the most powerful of 2023. Acceptable & unacceptable things to put out on the street. Street Storage by Dave Walker One question springs to mind, in the advent of EVs, how about a washing machine on wheels with a power cable slung out of a window? 🤔

Our city must be walkable if we are to encourage people to consider other ways of moving. Pavements must be widened & be accessible to all. More space for tables & chairs is also needed, breathing more life into this street & providing more space for businesses

What is striking is the way, cyclists carrying children move symbiotically with pedestrians, sharing the same living space in a way which has become second nature and almost taken for granted in some cycling nations.

The problem with the law on bangers / firecrackers is exactly the same problem as the law against no-idling, dog fouling, noisy exhausts & e-bikes that do not need pedal power to propel them; they are useless unless there is the ability to police these effectively.
