[European Cyclists' Federation @EuCyclistsFed]

🏭Air pollution is the single largest environmental #health risk in Europe, causing around 400 000 premature deaths per year

🚲Cycling saves emissions equaling more than 16 million tons of CO2 equivalents per year

The value of reduced #airpollution through cycling: 435 mil. €

[C40 Cities @c40cities]

#TheFutureWeWant is equitable and inclusive! Cities around the world are responding to the climate emergency by finding innovative ways to ensure everyone can benefit from our transition to a low-carbon future 💚

[America Walks @americawalks]

Once again, a highway is at the center of a discussion around what the future of a city should be. Think bigger Hartford, we’re pulling for you. https://t.co/OCbBwdWGTd

[European Cyclists' Federation @EuCyclistsFed]

❗#Cycle lanes need much less space than infrastructure for cars

🍃That means less sealed soil, less soil pollution and less water pollution

💰Maintaining and constructing one mile of infrastructure for motorised transport costs about 240 times more than high-quality bike lanes

[TRB @NASEMTRB]

L.A. Metro's Blue Line (now A Train) was faster 100 years ago. Why? Having the line wait at traffic lights is one reason. We need signal priority for L.A. transit now. https://t.co/EIPGkv1te5

[NCST_Research @NCST_Research]

New! A policy brief from the NCST finds the cost of building #AffordableHousing in major cities is actually NOT driven by proximity to #transit. Read Here: https://t.co/5d9aSWG5wQ #Housing

[Mohamed Mezghani @MedMezghani]

SUVs are a paradox: while many people buy them to feel safer, they are statistically less safe than regular cars, both for those inside and those outside the vehicle. And in average SUVs have CO2 emissions 14% higher than an equivalent hatchback model.

[Mohamed Mezghani @MedMezghani]

My article inspired by the #ClimateStrike.
@GretaThunberg is giving us more courage & daring to stand for our position, to express our convictions, to refuse any arrangement with those having interest in the status quo. We are on the right side of history

Did you know that cycling makes you not only physically better, but also mentally? It has a positive impact on your thinking ability, creativity and emotions.
