The recent Paris transformation of key streets to add bike infrastructure is intensely pragmatic — more mobility choice and more trips using a lot less space, lower public cost, lower emissions, less pollution, better public health, etc! Via @EmmanuelSPV

Today was one of the once in a lifetime moments. Thank you to President Biden & Dr Biden for your invite & everyone who made The White House so magical.

I can’t believe the #BikeBus has reached The White House!! @BikeBusWorld

Bikes are good for business.

@Kareemios @piersmorgan You hear wrong!
The reason Hammersmith Bridge is still not fixed because the conservative government didn't want to help a Labour Council even though it is an important part of London infrastructure.

Nobody travels from abroad to see Hammersmith Bridge

1000 out of 1200 kids in this school in #Oulu, #Finland, arrive by #bicycle, even in winter. 100-150 walk, rest by ski, kicksleds and car. This day it was -17°C.

"Is it ok to park in a car lane?"
"Of course not."

"Is it ok to park in a bike lane?"
"Of course."

Just some regular traffic on a +0°C day with freezing wet drizzle and freezing fog on a pretty car-centric semi-industrial area in Oulu, Finland today.

The ultimate car replacement: a cargo bike 🚲

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Electric cargo bikes are like minivans or SUVs, but without all the death and destruction.

NEW: “In a groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, researchers have shed light on a remarkable finding: cyclists exhibit a greater commitment to the common good compared to their motorist counterparts.” Via @momentummag https://t.co/xb5y0feGys

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a (cargo) bike, and that’s pretty close.

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

If you dislike traffic calming (LTNs, open streets, etc), don't ask for before/after studies. You're not gonna like the results.

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

🌳Trees – just make our streets look amazing😎

We spend a lot of time talking about how urban trees help keep us cool, reduce pollution, restore nature, help us adapt to climate change, calm traffic etc

But lets just🥂celebrate how great they look, and how that makes us feel🙂

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

The easier it is to hop on a network of bike lanes, the more people ride bikes. Straightforward stuff.

Build more bike lanes!

[Michael Schneider @schneider]

Amazing, simple urbanism all over Mexico City. I will never understand why LA can’t do this.

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

As urban populations rise, the bicycle is a practical alternative to the car-oriented societies in which we live.

With the appropriate infrastructure and policies to make cycling attractive, we can mitigate traffic congestion & spend the time saved on more meaningful activities
