Here's how Seville built its bike network in just two years:
✊Built strong advocacy
✅Elected progressive leadership
🥅Focused on the network, not individual projects
🔗Linked "trip attractors" like jobs, schools, commercial streets and public spaces
Imagine spending $80,000 on a giant truck to let everyone know you're really masculine, and then it turns out Humphrey Bogart looks infinitely cooler on a bicycle.
And no businesses I saw took the opportunity to upgrade their doors to auto open. Why touch a door handle if you don’t have to. So much easier for people with mobility issues and even parents with prams.

Don't blame having kids for having to buy a car. Blame your government instead for not providing the necessary conditions for alternatives!
