Unlike plows, snow sweepers conform to irregularities in the bikeway surface, leaving it completely bare. No need to spread heaps of salt to dissipate residual snow and ice. Just spray on a bit of brine to prevent the next snow from bonding to the surface. #wintercycling #wcc2018

Vancouver’s Union Street. Fun fact: one local restauranteur opposed this project in 2013, claiming it would “cut him off at the knees”. Twelve months later, he was on the record stating business was better than ever, largely in part to an increase in tourists riding bikes there.

Poor Canadian rocks. Notorious for being slow & bad at dodging cars. Yet some wonder why Canada would need to make massive investments in walking & cycling infrastructure to keep people on bikes & on foot safe....cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… Vélo Canada Bikes Canada Walks Active School Travel Canada

Almetyevsk is a «Russian bicycle capital» of 150.000 inhabitants in the central part of the country that consulted @copenhagenize and built over 100 km of quality bike lanes in 1,5 years. #wcc2018

It’s a great irony of our times that parents driving their kids to school because they want to keep them safe endanger other kids that are walking to school. #VisionZero x.com/sharpasahawke/…

Sometimes when the news is good, it’s great: spending at King St. businesses has increased since the start of the #KingStreetPilot, according to new third party data. And ridership is up: now 84,000 riders a day #DataMatters thestar.com/news/gta/trans…

The good news is its cheap, popular & beautiful. Consider simple flower planters. With these, we could fix 1000s of blocks for cost of 1km of car lane.
