US cities: Unfortunately, we simply do not have the resources to clear snow, glass or other hazardous debris from bike lanes. Cyclists, be vigilant. Meanwhile, in Valencia, Spain:

Dangerously-designed streets put Black and brown people in a perilous position: break traffic law and risk interacting with police, or put themselves in harm’s way when navigating unsafe infrastructure. t4america.org/2021/03/03/uns…

America, where a worker is both essential and unworthy of a living wage.

Walking is great for the body and the mind!

Instead of Drivers Ed what if we had Mobility Ed? Imagine a class or series of classes where we taught people what it means to navigate a street from the perspective of multiple modes. A more holistic approach if you will. Perhaps this is a crazy idea and I'm just tired 🤣😅

Streets can be so many things for people when the space we surrendered to cars is taken back. True public space. Don’t ever call streets like this “closed” again. Video by @BrooklynSpoke #openstreets x.com/BrooklynSpoke/…

The Dutch blueprint for urban vitality isn’t about bicycles. It’s about refusing to sacrifice vast amounts of the public realm to the private car; instead reserving it for commerce, community and social connection. The ubiquitous bicycles are simply a byproduct of that process.

Secretary Pete Buttigieg In the Netherlands if there’s a traffic accident they do an investigation and fix the issue. In the US if there’s an accident we say “oh well, someone made a mistake. That’s not our problem.”

Each and every day in Amsterdam—a city of 850,000 residents—half a million people hop on their bicycles and collectively ride over two million kilometres; that’s 50 times around the earth! Not because they think it’s the right choice. But because it’s been made the easy choice.

The Best Way to ‘Lure’ People to Public Transit Is to Make It Work - VICE vice.com/en/article/dyv…

Fun fact about me: I use a ‘teenagers’ wheelchair. It’s tiny. 23inches wide. If I’m struggling to get through these “gaps”, they are completely impassable for most wheelchair users and visually impaired people with dogs. Pavements must be kept clear enough for pedestrians.

The elevated railway through central Berlin is a marvellous journey, even though it cuts brutally through the urban fabric at some places.

Think Amsterdam was always a city of bikes? Decades ago it wasn’t. Think Copenhagen was always a city of bikes? Decades ago it wasn’t. Think central PARIS was always a city of bikes? TWO YEARS AGO it wasn’t. Rue de Rivoli via Mozilette 🚲 🏍️ HT Anne Hidalgo

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

What do you think is the best way to get around town and still do our part to protect our environments? #WorldEnvironmentDay

We can build all the rapid transit we want but the humble bus will still be a primary component of at least part of most people's transit journeys. It is in our best interest to make the bus great and the experience seamless. 🚍🚏🚍🚏🚍🚏

This completely blows my mind. I studied arch. and arch history for nine years, two of them in Italy, and nobody ever told me this.

We should just drop the term "commuter" from transit all together. No more catering to a specific group of people. Who are our riders? EVERYONE! The sooner we focus on running good service, every day, all the time, the better it will be for all people.

Choices. What will it be, Toronto?
