🎶Bikes Are The Answer!🎶
To celebrate 1 year since releasing Our Streets, I made an acoustic version featuring the groovy sax of Stephen Feast, with a DIY video showing even more of the amazing cycling movements happening round the world!

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes break traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people do so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid https://t.co/fP5NYJOkXy
@kraywhiseheart@masonmennenga While there are lots of pronouns in the bible and God clearly is non binary and we should treat them that way, John 18,5+6 is just "εγώ ειμι", so that particular pronoun that delivers "I am he" or "I am it" depending on the translation actually isn't there. 🧐
A tropical storm is expected to hit California for the first time since 1939 — this is just the latest example of what scientist @KHayhoe calls ‘global weirding’
@RevDaniel If it was random which partner would get pregnant, there would be both adequate contraceptives freely available, everyone would know how to use them, and they'd use it. Every time. (well, unless when planning for a baby, I suppose)
Doctors be like: Don’t confuse your Google search with my 4 years of Medical School
Patients be like: Don’t confuse your 4 years of Medical School with my 20 years of living with the fucking disease
The main thing that makes it hard to have nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed density of people and buildings you have, the fewer cars you need or want.
This is really important.
In honor of #Juneteenth here is a paper talisman written by enslaved African Muslims in early America.
These paper talismans were used for protection and to organize resistance. They also highlight the high levels of literacy.
Eine vernünftige Schmerztherapie scheitert in vielen Fällen an dem blödsinnigen Satz:
"Ich nehme nicht so gerne Tabletten, das kann doch nicht gesund sein".
Schmerzen sind auch nicht gesund.

Let’s get something REALLY clear.
People who are able to, & choose to, walk and/or bike for transportation in cities are doing ALL OF US a big favour.
Doing so saves public money & public space, improves traffic for everyone, pollutes less, mitigates climate change, & MORE. 1/2

Man kann es nicht oft genug wiederholen: Die Teilnahme am Straßenverkehr erfordert ständige Vorsicht und gegenseitige Rücksicht. Dazu gehört auch ein ausreichender #Seitenabstand beim Überholen. Sicher mit Abstand!
Every time you bring up car reduction schemes there is somebody who asks "what about emergency vehicles?" Thomas Hug made a useful video.
What does not block emergency vehicles?

So sehen die Plätze einer Innenstadt aus, wenn man Fahrspuren und Verkehrsfluss für das höchste Gut hält.

Gestern habe ich die vollendetste Fahrradstadt der Welt besucht. Utrecht. Von 360.000 Einwohnern fahren hier täglich 125.000 Menschen mit dem Rad. Viel hatte ich gelesen, als ich endlich dort ankam, war ich sprachlos. Lasst mich euch mitnehmen, in eine unglaubliche Stadt (1/10).
