They say “We can’t do that. We’re not #Amsterdam.” You respond “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either,” showing before & after transformations illustrating that the cities we admire made CHOICES. And they’re still making choices TODAY. They make more tired excuses. You don’t accept them either.

@BrentToderian having spent some time living in Amsterdam. Our local councils need to realise a wee bit at the side of the road is not a cycle lane. They need proper junctions, lights, etc.
