0.5% of Dutch cyclists wear helmets. Yet theirs are the safest streets on earth. Why? They understand it’s more effective to slow cars, build protected infrastructure, and nurture a culture of everyday cycling. Not force the most vulnerable to armour up. youtu.be/P7trv9paMxA

—𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 [𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚]: people, and especially politicians, dramatically underestimate public support for non-motorised transport relative to their own. Related to: #motonormativity, #CarBrain (from Walker & Te Brömmelstroet, 2025)

'We cannot change; we are not #Amsterdam!!1!' Anne Hidalgo, mayor of #Paris: 'Hold my🍷+🥖!' 🚲 +180km new bike paths. 🌳 +200.000 new trees. 🅿️ -60.000 parking spots 🚗 -40% car traffic. 🤸‍♀️ +200 car free school streets. The results are already stunning!

Bernardgasse in Vienna’s Neubau district has undergone a remarkable transformation from a car-dominated corridor to a climate-resilient woonerf (living street). This ambitious project, completed in 2024, serves as a model for sustainable development and community-driven design.🧵

The liveable, inclusive, prosperous city isn’t a final destination, but a neverending journey that turns upkeep into opportunities for improvement. In Delft’s Bagijnhof, scheduled sewage pipe replacement emptied the courtyard of parked cars and replaced them with an actual park.

In #Brussels #Ixelles, the #pollutioncoalition decided to remove a modal filter. This means more cars 🚘, more bad air😶‍🌫️, more collissions 💥, less space for people 🚸. This #Lesengages echevin calls it “a better sharing of public space” 🤥

The horrible non-vision of the dinosaurs in #Brussels becomes painful - and deadly - on days like this. #heatwave #newfuture

One year since its introduction, figures show the goals behind Amsterdam's 30 km/h limit are trending in the right direction. Fears of negative impacts are unwarranted. This aligns with—and adds to—the growing body of evidence other global cities should consider a similar move.🔚
