Nowy odcinek podkastu @TheWarOnCars podsumowujący konferencję Velocity dotyczącej zrównoważonej mobilności która odbyła się w Gdańsku tego roku. Jej tematem było "energizowanie solidarności". A na koniec podkastu mała niespodzianka.

Last week I participated in the Velo City conference in #Gdansk , Poland. It was a beautiful city and a fantastic event. It was so energising to see all the different research, advocacy, and technology at work around the world focused on #urbancycling .

Our dependence on cars makes us more sick, depressed, isolated, & poor. Building & maintaining car infrastructure is a terribly inefficient use of city land, personnel, & finances. And it's dreadful for the environment. There's a surfeit of research that explores all of this.

Travelling by bike is the most efficient and accessible mode of intra-city transport, and with equipment like electric tricycles, cargo-bikes, folding bikes, or the classic "omafeits", almost anyone should be able to bike. Unfortunately, the car-focused design of our cities often makes it difficult.

I'll be heading back to #Yellowknife with lots of fresh ideas on how my city can become an active mobility capitol! Check out https://shiftnwt.org/ to see the work we're doing!
