You know you have a mainstream cycling culture if this is how your KING👑 can be photographed.* * And when people with disabilities have a large variety of means to remain mobile without being dependent on cars. (a @VanRaamBikes at @DeZonnebloem)
So... that bike tax repays itself 38⨉ via direct healthcare savings, plus an immediate boost to GDP (less sick leave = more productivity), and retaining thousands more taxpayers every year. World cities, are you paying attention?
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.
Nice start. Cars eat up 80% of a city with streets, parking, service, sales, green strips, setbacks. Replace with public transit (1/10 to 1/30 as much space) to make cities greener and far more convenient.
We do not lack space to make our cities livable, sustainable and human friendly. What we miss is the #imagination and #leadership to make it happen! —Place de Catalogne, #Paris🇫🇷
Maybe cars should have mandatory health warning labels like tobacco products do.

Yo, naysayers: if it won't work wherever you are, what's the missing ingredient?
'We can't change; our city is not #Amsterdam!!' Well, so wasn't Amsterdam! It took courageous decisions and long, deliberate and consistent work. —Kinkerstraat, Amsterdam (1985 - 2024)
30 people getting a coffee 🇺🇸 vs. 30 people getting a coffee 🇫🇷 Where would you like to spend your holiday? (via @pushtheneedle)
Why is it illegal to build like this in most of the U.S.? Parking requirements and other zoning laws make it extremely difficult to build walkable housing. People-first communities like Culdesac Tempe should be the norm not the exception.
How your peak hour can also look. #Amsterdam shows what to do when you want to efficiently move a large number of travellers in a human-sized 21st century way.
The bike-train combination can take many different shapes and sizes. Whenever we arrive in London, it means hiring a Brompton folding bicycle from a locker outside Kings Cross Station, and—for the low price of £5 per day—enjoying being able to navigate the city on our own terms.
@fietsprofessor Super-helmeted USA vs. helmet-free Netherlands
Further example: a Sino Land exec returning to his 86th floor West Kowloon penthouse from the airport via MTR/escalators/elevators rather than deal with airport limos and traffic. From "Housing In Four Cities" on edenicity.com
'An advanced city is not a place where the poor move about in cars, rather it's where even the rich use public transportation.' —@EnriquePenalosa (📸 of #Orléans🇫🇷 by @Mr_lamoureux, via @grescoe)
@cayimby Humans have occupied half the land on Earth and wiped out half the life on Earth. Greenfield development is the wrong direction.
"I looked at all the city regulations. And I don't remember reading 'Cyclists are exempt from paying property taxes...'" —@brunomarchand, Mayor of Quebec🇨🇦 using proof by contradiction. I wish all politicians would be so brave to unravel #motonormativity.
@chloroquinecake @fietsprofessor @scientificamer How about you run the numbers.
Design embodies intention. In this case, the corporate intention to increase the unit of sale.
@bswud Something like this helped build Hong Kong's transit hubs. Developers subsidize public housing in a 400m walk-in zone, increasing overall purchasing power, and ride the prosperity wave via train fares and mall rents. Details: edenicity.com/hi4c.html
@fietsprofessor Helmet laws infantilize a safer mode of transit, and make it less safe because they inhibit bicycling. The primary driver of bicycle safety is the prevalence of bicyclists. youtube.com/shorts/ia94Wer…
Why not build a neighborhood instead of an empty parking lot?
Houston, Austin, Columbus, so many cities in the US, we're looking at YOU.
