I'm old enough to remember when SUVs and pickups were only as big as they needed to be. For a variety of reasons, consumers don't want to hear about the link between pedestrian deaths and vehicle size.

This is so important for US planners and cities to understand — if we hold up the Dutch as an example, they *don’t* mix children on bikes with fast cars (and it’s very few cars at that.) Children and bikes can’t be safely engineered to coexist unless that car is going way under

🐦‍⬛🐦🦉🕊️🐥 Cities don’t have to be loud 💥📣 Bikes are quiet 🤐 Riding lets us hear birds instead of engines. More cycling = less noise, cleaner air, calmer streets.
