As soon as they can hold their head upright, many Dutch children are transported in a seat or cargo bike which allows for conversation and contact with the caregiver.

This creates quality bonding time together and improves the child’s spatial awareness and social connections.

Good mornin, there is currently a cow wreaking havoc on the NEC in Newark

In NL news: more road fatalities/severely injured. Most killed by car drivers and on 30 km/h roads. So what picture to use?

Why is it so hard to focus on the source of violence? Cars became more numerous, bigger, heavier, faster, drivers more distracted.

For over 100 years, most New Yorkers have woken up every day and paid to go to work on the subway or bus in the morning.

Drivers are seriously the whiniest, most entitled big-government communists in the United States.

Traffic engineering "best practices" have the worst impact on human life.

I'm an associate professor, my wife is not from the UK. We own our flat, we contribute to the economy, but I don't earn enough and it looks like the new rules might mean that my wife has to leave the country. I'm a British citizen, and I'd leave with her.

It sounds hyperbolic, but it is no exaggeration to observe that state DOTs did more long-lasting damage to American cities in the postwar era than B-17s and B-29s did to Axis cities during the war itself.

the American mind cannot comprehend this
