If designed in a wholistic and substantive way, cycling infrastructure can be more than just transporting people from A to B. It can be used as an effective tool in the fight against climate change; improving carbon absorption, heat mitigation, rain retention, and bio-diversity.

In Dutch cities and towns, one of the features that first stands out to international visitors is the use of the continuous cycle path. Rather than treating humans as guests in the car space, the opposite occurs, and the cycle path is seamless by design. bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2022/06/29/ext…

You can tell a lot about a city's priorities by the timing of its traffic signals. At many intersections in Delft, pedestrians and cyclists have a continuous green light, and a sensor periodically allows drivers to cross the foot and cycle path. Design for the traffic you want.

We want YOUR feedback! The League is seeking your input to gain a better understanding of local bicyclists’ experiences in Springdale. Please leave your thoughts on this brief survey by October 20th: English: surveymonkey.com/r/BFC_Fall23 Spanish: surveymonkey.com/r/SpringdaleAR…

Ask a Dutch person why they cycle so much, and they’ll shrug: “It’s just in our culture”; unaware of the vast infrastructure investments that make it so easy. Ask an American why they drive so much, and they’ll do the same. First we shape our streets; then our streets shape us.

Nice!

The survey is open until January 31st! We are getting a lot of great feedback and we would like yours! forms.gle/dFWnABM34ocJhy…
