Today marks the 100th anniversary of eclipse observations that confirmed Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Here's a quick recap of this vital story:

[Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  @fietsprofessor]

'Our city is not Amsterdam'.
Well, so wasn't Amsterdam: it took long, deliberate and consistent work.
And a conscious decision to change!

~Zeilstraat, Amsterdam 1970s

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

The Dutch blueprint for urban vitality isn’t really about bicycles.

It’s about refusing to carve out enormous amounts of space from their cities for cars; instead reserving room for commerce, community, and social connection.

The bicycles are simply a byproduct of that process.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

*EVERY* time we share something about Dutch cities, we get the inevitable “Yeah, but it’s flat”.

Were it that simple, Winnipeg—with all due respect to that city—would be the cycling capital of Canada.

Stop using terrain as an excuse for streets that prioritize cars over people.
