A good bike network can include a combination of separated paths, traditional bike lanes, and low-stress shared streets.

On Tallinn's Kalamaja Street, a conventional traffic sewer has become a hybrid of two Dutch concepts: the woonerf, or living street where pedestrians, cyclists and cars share the same space, and the fietsstraat, where bicycles are given priority and cars are effectively guests.🧵

Don't believe your lying eyes!

People don't/won't ride bikes in the rain!

Bike lanes are like miracle grow for healthy cities.

[Tim on two wheels @2wheelsgoodBrum]

Most cities in Schleswig-Holstein have cycle streets. This one was 3km long. It was great cycling with 100s of other cyclists and a few very respectful drivers.

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

The avg trip lengths on e-bikes are about twice as long as traditional pedal bikes. And the people buying e-bikes aren't just upgrading, they're also people who previously weren't riding bicycles at all.

Avg e-bike trips are ~6 miles, which means even in sprawly suburbia, lots of errands are now practical on 2 wheels. It's hard to overstate the incredible potential of this technology.

With over 870 school streets in London, 66% of kids are now getting to school by active travel.

Every day there are 73,915 fewer cars doing the school run than when we started in 2016 - that’s the equivalent of a traffic jam from London to Newcastle.

Run some errands with a baby and a full sized stroller on a bike? Yeah, that's no problem with our @bunchbike.

Huh. Imagine if the federal government were actually supporting alternatives to driving, instead of starving them of funding for being woke DEI gay communism or whatever it is this week.

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

A timely reminder to all the boring commentators who say 'people won't cycle in the rain' about the invention of coats and waterproofs.

[Fietser @AmericanFietser]

Vehicles must scale to fit the street, not the other way around.

Mayor Mamdani’s bike lane projects keep running into the same foe: Hartley Bernstein, a retirement-aged (and once-disbarred) Manhattan lawyer and convicted securities fraudster who has sued the Department of Transportation five times to little success. https://t.co/ZxMmiXQGsy

NEW:

According to new documents first being reported on by Hell Gate, Lyft's profits from operating the Citi Bike system have increased more than thirteenfold since 2023, thanks to the massive increase in fees approved by the Eric Adams administration.
