Straphanger, from Taras Grescoe

@straphanger Please tell me this is a highway and not a city

@straphanger motoring utopia. Non motoring dystopia.

@straphanger Every time I cycle past sections of the #netherlands like this I still can't believe it is real.

Very different to living in #southafrica

I am unbelievably spoiled to live here :D

@straphanger I'm inclined to believe #streetcars / trams are the answer to a lot of questions. Urban areas are also tend to breed fewer MAGAs. Go figure. #transit #urbanism #ClimateChange

@straphanger When you think about how much real estate cars take up, it should be a no-brainer.

@straphanger Slow tv. Just this for 2-3 hrs please.

@straphanger sound on for full effect

@straphanger Pretty Ableist.
