Born to walk. Forced to drive.

For someone raised in America, it's always jarring seeing white bikes in the Netherlands. I'm too used to them being ghost bikes for those killed by America's horrible infrastructure and lax attitude towards safety.

No innovation under capitalism??… ok buddy

@FilmendeFietser I used to think the key to riding was to go fast. Amsterdam taught me that the real art of cycling is being able to go slow. Then you can ride anywhere.

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company.

I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

Two BBC reporters doing a news report while cycling: Richard Bilton in England and @annaholligan in the Netherlands.

Can you spot the difference?

The difference is a result of our policy choices over decades. The good news is we know what we need to do to make it better.

@RexChapman Bravo.

@bikelanesmn You may want to avoid riding in Amsterdam. The default is super squeaky. Bonus points for your tire rubbing on the frame or the chain hitting the chain guard.

@jen_williams I'm so sorry for your loss. Remember, while everyone dies, nobody "un-lives" The time you two spent together will always be.

Crossing North Main Street in Providence is a nightmare 😣

@sssabriiiinaaa I had a wreck several years ago. Required some hospitalization and therapy. My docs told me they would be disappointed if I didn't take advantage of my second chance and get right back on my bike. That was 7200 km ago.
