Would you drive just a few miles slower per hour if it meant that your city would get richer, more resilient, and—oh yeah—save dozens, if not hundreds of lives every year? If you said yes—bc duh—then its time to #SlowTheCars in your core neighborhoods. https://t.co/4zkYmSvpam

Look at this street. Are you telling me you wouldn’t love to have streets like this in your neighbourhood? When Amsterdam removed 11,200 parking spaces, they made room for the kinds of things that make this street great. Via @Cycling_Embassy @createstreets https://t.co/jCgQDQazZC

Want to remove parking in your city? Ghent just throws down slabs of yellow concrete. Can't open right side doors if you park here!

Slowing a car from 40 mph to 20 mph for the last leg of an commute adds about one minute per downtown mile. But that speed decrease makes the injuries to a pedestrian more like falling from the second floor of a building instead of the seventh floor.

Wow!
The global war on plastic pollution grows in strength by the day.
Buddhist monks at this Bangkok 🇹🇭 temple recycle plastic bottles to make their robes!

The cities we hope and dream to build for future generations already exist. They’re just waiting to be replicated elsewhere.

The entrance to Rotterdam Centraal Station, where 5,000 secure—and free—underground bicycle parking spaces are accessed by a series of special escalators.

Germany is building a car-free bicycle highway that will stretch to 62 miles, connecting 10 cities and four universities. It's projected to get 50,000 cars *per day* off the road by providing commuters with a safe alternative to driving. https://t.co/9Wxxgl2jhQ

Tunnels for cars in cities create traffic congestion. They act as a funnel, by design. Without multiple points of access + places to exit, they dump more cars onto downtown and neighbourhood streets than they can absorb in the street network. A costly way to make a problem worse.

Public service announcement:

Whenever someone claims something can’t be done by bike, hit us up for some “stock footage”.

The Dutch are probably doing it on a scale—and with an effortlessness—they couldn’t fathom.

Their lack of imagination shouldn’t result in a lack of action.

In just 5 years Seville built a 120km segregated cycle network - largely by repurposing on-street parking.
Political will+ strong citizen movement.

-Daily bike trips rose from 13k to 72k
-% women cycling rose from 25% to 36%

We must do better #Manchester
