I love these #BikeBus stories but they also make me a little sad
I walked to school unaccompanied as a young kid and biked unaccompanied as a middle schooler/high schooler (and also rode plenty of buses)
I think of these as a first, transitional step toward freedom from #CarDependency in the US, but what happens after school? Kids should be able to travel independently at age appropriate levels. We need to prioritize #BikesAsTransportation
Iβm also part of the #TwitterExodus. I want to discover this new place and I really enjoy so far the ad- and algorithm-free place.
Iβm writing my thesis in #geography about #publicSpaces and #parkingLots at the #Leipzig university. My interests are #cities, #urbanPlanning, #bikes (especially #BikesAsTransportation and #gravelbikes), #mobility (#verkehrswende ), #urbanism, #politics, #dogsβ¦
