When parents stop treating kids like packages, kids learn to get around independently.

It doesn't matter if 1% or 10% or 100% of the residents choose to get around on bikes. Give them the choice.

ICYMI: This one’s been getting a lot of attention/discussion — my interview with #NotJustBikes on podcast platforms & YouTube! The ground we cover on how to ACTUALLY ACHIEVE BETTER CITIES IN PRACTICE is resonating with city lovers and city-builders alike.

Bike highways are way cheaper than car highways. And more fun.

As I discussed in my interview with #NotJustBikes (below), these are the 5 STEPS TO MAKING BETTER CITIES I’ve been using for many years, and eventually wrote about in @FastCompany. Too many cities are stuck in Step 2 (doing the wrong things better), and have to really be careful

NEW/LISTEN! Been REALLY looking forward to this one —  my interview with Jason from #NotJustBikes IS LIVE on many podcast platforms plus YouTube! We cover a LOT of really important ground on how to ACTUALLY ACHIEVE BETTER CITIES IN REAL PRACTICE! Comments? https://t.co/h6ijyNEbPD

Environment Canada issues snow squall warning with 10 to 20 cm expected - Environment Canada has issued a yellow warning for snow squalls, alerting the public of heavy amounts of lake-effect snow on Sunday.

Cycling isn’t just another mode of transport; it’s an opportunity to redesign the city around people instead of cars. The tragedy is how often we limit this potential by squeezing it into the very system it could transform. (🖼️ by Andy Singer)

Each and every fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets and roads for cars, making them faster and more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people and public life. We call them sneckdowns. GIF via @otucis #sneckdown https://t.co/gJERGg9ZA1

Car-dependent suburban sprawl is the most publicly expensive, publicly subsidized, and publicly consequential form of human habitation in human history. #SuburbanSprawl #CarDependency

Paris is experiencing good traffic because they made it easy for people to get around on bikes.

For every new highway we build and/or expand, we should mandate we build rail in the median.

Copenhagenize your city streets.

#HotTake321: Europe generates €45–50 billion a year from cycling tourism, worldwide cycling tourism generates $120+ billion, but in India we are still debating if we need or don’t need cycle lanes. Tour de France? How about Tour de Konkan? We’re sitting on the world’s greatest

Listen, we cannot just change the dominance of cars on our streets... We are not #Amsterdam, now are we?!!! 'Hold my 🥖 and🍷' — Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of #Paris (a collage of incredible before-after pictures by @EmmanuelSPV and others)

Here’s something really important for everyone to understand. If we design our cities for cars only, they fail everyone, including drivers. If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers. Spread the word.

Let's encourage safe cycling infrastructure along this road upgrade in Elmira. 😊

Riding a bicycle 3 miles with a guide should part of the driver's license renewal process. A few things people would learn: ✅ You see & hear a lot more on a bike than you do in your car ✅ Antisocial driving behavior (high speed, close-passing, tailgating, texting, etc.) is
