Kinderen verplicht laten fietsen met vlaggetjes? De omgekeerde wereld. Het is de verantwoordelijkheid van de bestuurder van een motorvoertuig om scherp op te letten en defensief te rijden in gebieden waar je kwetsbare verkeersdeelnemers tegen kan komen. Beter: ga ook fietsen!
MokumDeelraad Zuid heeft echt weinig om handen, goedemorgen…

25 seconds from Zwolle, NL. Population 125,000. It’s so quiet. We’ve forgotten how loud cars make our cities. Wonderful to hear the sound of bicycles, people chatting & laughing 🎶 https://t.co/x7F2qDUU1Y

Amsterdam has more trees than inhabitants.They are not just beautiful. Trees can absorb 150 kg of CO2 per yr, increase urban biodiversity, cool the air, & play key role in preventing floods. We must urgently supercharge tree planting Australian growth areas. Pic @dirkjanjanssen

“If you invite more cars, you get more cars. If you make more streets better for cars you get more traffic. If you make more bicycle infrastructure...If you invite people to walk more and use public spaces more, you get more life in the city. You get what you invite.” - Jan Gehl

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities https://t.co/gC3YLVUGFX via @ConversationUK

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Why can’t we improve more streets with this easily implementable change?
Berlin was one of the first global cities to implement pop-up bike facilities in response to changing travel patterns during the corona crisis. The biggest investment was paint, as rows of parked cars were simply moved over to create protected bike lanes: https://t.co/1gANGk69Ce

“It’s really quite simple: I need to be able to buy my bread, I need to play with my kids, I need to go to work.” Bicycles can help.

Bicycles are the common thread that links “all the dots” in Katelijne Boerma’s life.

Teach your children when they are young, so moving through their city is a independent, simple, and enjoyable act.
