😀🚲@Cass_m yep, helmet laws for bicycling are bad policy for a lot of reasons: public health, economics, oil wars, housing, traffic congestion, etc all suffered for the fools who wanted us to think of the children. #LegalizeBikes
Damned cyclists, smugly obeying the laws of physics. #LegalizeBikes

When cities protect neighborhood streets from being abused with cut-through car traffic, people get out of their cars. Do we need new names for low-traffic neighborhoods, modal filters, bus gates with camera enforcement to stop drivers from stealing public space? What is the word for what cars have taken from us, "freedom"? #BanCars #legalizeBikes #15minuteNeighborhoods

What are Low Traffic Neighborhoods? Well in London they're Magnificent!
> Montreal... #bicycles account for a fifth of all journeys, only slightly less than cars. Across the city more than a third of the population cycles at least once a week.
> London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City, the financial district, by two to one.
> Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city
> Copenhagen... bikes account for almost half of commuter journeys

@ai6yr @meganL I hope we one day #legalizeBikes (and trikes + various adaptive bike configurations and similar size & speed micromobility aids.)
"I should've planned for the king's birthday, I'll put it in my calendar." 🤣
London vs Paris cycleways, in a day! Is it a fair comparison without somebody from Paris doing it on mayor Hidalgo's birthday or something? #transit #urbanism #LegalizeBikes #BikeTooter #jfdi #ProtectedBikeLanes #tacticalUrbanism #TheWarOnCars #climateAction
I Cycled London and Paris the Same Day – Here’s What I Learned
@lkanies @mekkaokereke we have a lot of cars that work fine for longer trips and don't need to be replaced for a decade or more, but half of all car trips are less than 3 miles. Now how about an EV which can carry a couple people or a few kids, is easier to park, great for short trips, and costs less than $5k? We could even build them in the states. #eBikes #CargoBikes #LegalizeBikes
