Dance in the field.

Astonishing. Usually these type of shots show desert and then Las Vegas or Dubai a few decades later. The same landscape 120 years apart is quite the looker 😉Source: https://t.co/tRuvV6Xncp

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an obvious and ordinary part of every day life?

It’s actually not that hard. You just have to change priorities. #HealthyCities

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

An extraordinary c. 500,000-300,00 year-old Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell. The shell’s central display suggests an aesthetic intention by the toolmaker. From West Tofts, Norfolk.

Please share.

The full Flemish experience: cobbles, hills, mud, wind, rain, more mud and cold. But ehi, I got to ride on the roads that have been in my dreams since being a kid and I survived. It's all for days like this 💛 Thank you Ronde 🦁💛

In medieval times, the fragments of fossilised crinoids (known locally as Cuddy’s beads) were collected from the shores of Lindisfarne and then strung together to make necklaces and rosaries 🖤 #StCuthbertsDay

World’s oldest known surviving peace treaty is the Treaty of Kadesh.

Agreed c. 3,300 years ago, between Ramesses II of Egypt and Hattusili III of the Hittite Empire. Original Hittite clay tablet version of the treaty at Istanbul Archaeology Museums. 📷 Monsieurdl

It never gets boring seeing something so delicate and perfect that’s survived for over 300 million years - cute wee Neuropteris 🖤

Since 2019, Dutch have built 300,000 bike #parking spaces at railway stations. These are their nine design principles:
- Proximity to platform
- Free of Charge
- Sheltered
- Safety
- Comfort & Ease
- Always Space
- Good Flow in/out
- Services (sharebike, repair)
- Sustainability

A global study reveals that Dutch residents are the most physically active on earth, getting 12.8 hours of exercise each week. The key—designing activity into daily life. The average #Dutch person cycles about 1,098 kilometers per year. HT @Cycling_Embassy

Remember, there’s infrastructure, and then there’s Dutch infrastructure.
