1. Welcome to Toronto, where apparently you should now wave a flag if you hope to cross the street safely. At a signalized intersection. By a school.

#nrkdebatt Hva med spørre Frp om de ønsker gratis parkering og flere parkeringsplasser overalt? Det høres jo slik ut. Fremskrittspartiet

A global study reveals that Dutch residents are the most physically active on earth, getting 12.8 hours of exercise each week. The key—designing activity into daily life. The average #Dutch person cycles about 1,098 kilometers per year. HT Dutch Cycling Embassy ipsos.com/en/global-view…

Cities across the North Sea Region rely on unsustainable, private car-centric #urbanmobility systems. The resulting air & noise #pollution leads to premature deaths, cardiovascular diseases and mental health issues.

🚴‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Norway's Bergen kommune opens world's longest pedestrian & bicycle tunnel! The 2.9km Fyllingsdalen Tunnelen aims to reduce traffic in the city, cut emissions & pollution, and promote cycling and walking over driving #sustainability #cycling #pedestrian #transportation

Spørsmål til @tryggtrafikk Hvorfor et så ekstremt ensidig fokus på hjelmbruk, når det ikke forhindrer ulykker? Hva med fokus på det som reduserer ulykker og uhell. Hvorfor snakker dere så godt som ALDRI om det?

The more people that choose to walk, bike and take public transit to get around, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS. Anyone still claiming this is a “war on the car” doesn’t understand how cities work. HT Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  for graphic.

Took a few photos in Amsterdam this weekend. 🧵 Teenagers laughing this hard is a sign young people feel safe. /1

Både prosessen og sykkelløsningen til Statens vegvesen på E18 ved Filipstad er helt uholdbar. De mykeste og mest sårbare trafikantene må vike for tungtransporten. Er dette måten regjeringa skal nå sitt eget mål om 20 % sykkelandel i byene på Jon-Ivar Nygård? aftenposten.no/oslo/i/dwak5j/…

In April 2023, Bergen opened the world’s longest purpose-built pedestrian and cycling tunnel: the 3,000-metre Fyllingsdalstunnelen. Blasted through the base of the 477-metre tall Løvstakken Mountain, the €27-million project directly links the Fyllingsdalen and Mindemyren areas.

The Fyllingsdalstunnelen is part of a larger transformational project: an 8km “green spine” connecting the southern suburbs to Bergen Station. It includes a cycle- and (grass) tramway, parks and rainwater retention sites; all to be lined with new development in the coming years.

Exiting Bergen, Norway's Fyllingsdalstunnelen, a new 3-km tunnel built through a mountain -- and only open to those walking, biking, or scooting. My bucket list is now one item shorter.

The cherry on top: This converted rail tunnel about a mile down the bike path from Fyllingsdalstunnelen. Some Bergen cyclists say it’s their favorite.

Two brothers, ages 10 and 6, bike home independently at the end of their school day on this 50-year-old separated cycling infrastructure in a Rotterdam 🇳🇱 suburb, just like many generations before them. 🧵1/3

From Bergen to Eindhoven and Atlanta to Calgary, cities are putting themselves on the map cycling infrastructure. The humble bicycle can play a central role in attracting new employers, talent, and tourists; while giving residents a new pride of place. service-studievereniging.nl/magazine/artik…

The Dutch invest €500M—€30 per capita—per year in cycling. What is the return? Over 1,000 km and 60 hours of cycling per capita per year; preventing 6,500 deaths and €19B in healthcare. Don’t ask whether you can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether you can afford not to.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT Melissa & Chris Bruntlett

If it's not safe & joyful for an 8 year old and for an 80 year old, then it's NOTHING. Don't even call it a bikelane. STOP building cities as if everyone was 30 y/o & athletic More than building cities, we are creating lifestyles. Make LIVING HEALTHIER & HAPPIER the easy choice.
