@BrentToderian It's not "misinformation" in general. It's propaganda disseminated to reinforce corporate interests.

[BikingBoston @BikingBoston]

@ursusamericana @PchazzzSF @the_transit_guy Exactly. People uniting is the only leverage we have against the corporate power of the wealthy elite.

People seemed to understand this better when it was a king instead of a CEO.

[BikingBoston @BikingBoston]

@PchazzzSF @the_transit_guy That's the American way!

And it's anti-community.

And it's why corporations now run this place.

@JohnY79796563 @NYC_DOT They were in the wrong lane for making a left turn. And tried to bully their way though.

Comparing mobility alternatives to the car makes us use the wrong yardstick. It leads to suboptimal (and boring) innovations and makes us forget about existing (and exciting) solutions.

@stopkorkom @cityaestheticss Cars are one of the least egalitarian ways of travel.

If a pill💊 delivered all these benefits of cycling, it would be hailed as the greatest medical breakthrough in history — but because it’s a bike, we tend to ignore it.

Cyclists are so obnoxious.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

The city of @PalmDesertGov is doing it right.

Imagine how many in LA would choose to bike instead of drive for many of their trips if our infrastructure looked like this.

@NBAonTNT LeBron's "super power" is guarding someone smaller than him? Yeah, Kenny. That's my super power, too.

When riding a bike, sometimes you find beauty, colour, and nature in unexpected places.

Cycling under the rail viaduct in Girona is a lovely treat to the senses, with colourful art, climbing vines, and the chance to take things at your own pace away from the busy nearby streets.
