Our future won't be saved by the self-driving car, as so many of us mistakenly believe. It will be saved when cities start treating bicycling as a legitimate mode of urban transport, rather than just a weekend hobby. #maas @copenhagenize https://t.co/Jo9Lq5kqHg

Winters in #Helsinki #Finland

@suviauvi 2020-21. Kaupunki ei ole muuttunut.

[Apaar Tuli @apaar]

Seems that #Helsinki has chosen to preserve this newly built cycle lane by ... covering it properly with snow.

This picture of 4-lane multimodality could surely be improved.

This year I cycled hundreds of kilometers across #Helsinki delivering donated #bicycles to #Ukrainian newcomers in #Finland, helping out as a volunteer at #bikes4refugees @pyoraliitto.

This is what personal freedom on 2-wheels looks like.

@panu They are trying hard to juxtapose the withering away of the city center to the narrowing of Espa. No deeper analysis in to influence of pandemic lockdowns, transition towards online shopping, loss of tourism, or creation of huge peripheral shopping malls.

No, just cycle lanes.

@ritaparada Sorry to hear Rita. Hopefully you'd be able to reframe the situation as an opportunity for change rather than a setback.

[Apaar Tuli @apaar]

Not many things come close to the hope, freedom, or self sufficiency that a donated #bicycle provides to newcomers to a country. Thanks @pyoraliitto for offering us a chance to share their stories.

A joy to glide down #Oulu superhighways that meander through autumn forests. #baana #velofinland

Yeah, any object can “serve briefly as a boat”, generally until it quickly sinks to the bottom of the river, lake, or sea.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too choppy

Fillari fillarilla. Delivered a bicycle to its proud new young owner today.

@elonmusk It probably is, when you are trying to solve a problem caused by cars by adding even more cars to the system.

You are part of the problem here, boss.

[Apaar Tuli @apaar]

@pekkatahkola Just like last year, sadly.

We spend an inordinate amount of time solving wrong design challenges such as 'How do we design better cars'. The right question to ask instead is 'How do we design better cities'. The appropriate modes of transportation would follow. #urbanism #mobility

@anabjain Leaking this cryptographic key creates a security breach with yet unknown consequences.

[Apaar Tuli @apaar]

Did you know that bicycles have a built-in fireworks feature for those rainy autumn evenings? Another reason to cycle.

Probably to celebrate #WorldBicycleDay, some baddies decided to steal bike saddles from our yard, leaving my bicycle amputated and practically unusable.

Fortunately, #Helsinki citybikes saved the day. #kaupunkipyörät #pyöräily #cycling
