Vincent-Xavier ⏚À Paris, 45 % des cyclistes sont des femmes, mais le sentiment d’insécurité reste un frein - Le Parisien
OccasionalDucksI’ve decided to go to the WWT London Wetland Centre on Monday, rather than drive out into the fens, thanks partly to the cost of fuel. I have also checked on the BoE inflation calculator and the diesel I would need is actually about 5% cheaper in real terms than when I passed my driving test - at which point, because that was its normal price, I wouldn’t have thought twice. It is the change in / (ab)normalisation of price that influences perception and decision about driving among those for whom it doesn’t constitute an affordability crisis.
Given the number of people in forced car ownership with genuine affordability issues and simultaneously the proportion of comfortably off people who whinge about the expense of driving but reject easy savings (get a smaller, not-new car; don’t change it every couple of years; use it less) and inflate their own costs, I’m not sure what we do with this.
(Though #BanCars has an elegant simplicity to it!)

Does SW Capitol Hill Rd need dozens of millions of dollars to build bike lanes and sidewalks, or does it just need to lose the yellow centerlines and the cut-through car traffic? #Portland #pdxBikes #Bollards #OpenStreets #BanCars #CarsRuinEverything
cyclyon 🚲 #POCGEncore une fois, on s'en tape de la marque de bagnole, ce n'est pas une voiture qui tue, tout comme un fusil ne tue pas.
L'arme est une partie du problème, c'est son usage, sa vente libre et son financement systémique qui tue.
Ce n'est plus acceptable.

If only they would share their secret sauce with the Portland Bureau of Transportation, and it was something besides putting stuff in the street that says "no" in the language of cars, so we could actually do it. #BanCars #VisionZero #ZeroVision

C’est quand même ahurissant que tous ces politiques prennent le problème à l’envers.
Ce n’est pas parce que les gens-qui-ont-une-voiture ne peuvent pas se garer que les commerces des centres villes périclitent.
C'est parce que les gens-qui-ont-une-voiture peuvent aller et/ou habiter ailleurs.
La clientèle, c’est celle qui vient à pied ou à vélo.
