@YungSvendsen @filiprygg var på sommerferie i Nederland med familien, der hadde de ikke handleposer i plast i det hele tatt, det var forbudt. Kun handlenett. Det er over ti år siden. Det ga noe å tenke på den gangen for store og små.

[Einar Grieg @eingri]

@YungSvendsen Uenig. Det er beviselig mindre plastposer på avveie i norsk natur nå + at mye av pengene går direkte til opprydding av plast i naturen. Og nei det er ikke 1 -1 forhold mellom salg av poser og handlenett.

@iskald9 @Bardar11 Stress med fakta 🙂 Mye gøyere uten. Men takk for at det fremdeles er noen som holder seg til fakta!

@filiprygg Mye ståhei for noe som uansett ble nedstemt med stort flertall av mdg, gjaldt uansett ikke elbil.

If it's not safe & joyful for an 8 year old and for an 80 year old, then it's NOTHING. Don't even call it a bikelane.

STOP building cities as if everyone was 30 y/o & athletic
More than building cities, we are creating lifestyles.
Make LIVING HEALTHIER & HAPPIER the easy choice.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

The Dutch invest €500M—€30 per capita—per year in cycling. What is the return?

Over 1,000 km and 60 hours of cycling per capita per year; preventing 6,500 deaths and €19B in healthcare.

Don’t ask whether you can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether you can afford not to.

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

From Bergen to Eindhoven and Atlanta to Calgary, cities are putting themselves on the map cycling infrastructure.

The humble bicycle can play a central role in attracting new employers, talent, and tourists; while giving residents a new pride of place.

@KilstiHals Fra #Amsterdam i dag.

[The Dutch Way @The_DutchWay]

Two brothers, ages 10 and 6, bike home independently at the end of their school day on this 50-year-old separated cycling infrastructure in a Rotterdam 🇳🇱 suburb, just like many generations before them.

@jenskihl Tipper 100 kr meteren er mer rett. Forøvrig ser den slik ut i dag.

@DavidZipper Nice too meet you, and happy you got one more biketrip in the tunnel!

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

The cherry on top:

This converted rail tunnel about a mile down the bike path from Fyllingsdalstunnelen. Some
Bergen cyclists say it’s their favorite.

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Exiting Bergen, Norway's Fyllingsdalstunnelen, a new 3-km tunnel built through a mountain -- and only open to those walking, biking, or scooting.

My bucket list is now one item shorter.

@pr0fiteer @andershartmann Bergen, Norway

[Einar Grieg @eingri]

@andershartmann Fikk du syklet hele den ny sykkelveien inkl Fyllingsdalstunnelen?

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

The Fyllingsdalstunnelen is part of a larger transformational project: an 8km “green spine” connecting the southern suburbs to Bergen Station.

It includes a cycle- and (grass) tramway, parks and rainwater retention sites; all to be lined with new development in the coming years.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

In April 2023, Bergen opened the world’s longest purpose-built pedestrian and cycling tunnel: the 3,000-metre Fyllingsdalstunnelen.

Blasted through the base of the 477-metre tall Løvstakken Mountain, the €27-million project directly links the Fyllingsdalen and Mindemyren areas.

@delveien Satser på den går opp, ingenting før, så bedre enn ingenting.
