The War on CarsAug 26, 2023

"Studies have shown that a mere 10% shift from car drivers to bike riders has resulted in a 40% reduction in traffic congestion. Even if you never touch an e-bike, you would benefit from supporting their increased use."

It’s not an ‘electric bike craze.’ You’re looking at the future of transportation

Electric bikes aren't a fad or a craze, they're here to stay. Their numbers are growing every year. Now how do we make it all safer?

@TheWarOnCars @SafeStreetRebel you know what I was thinking about this morning while ebiking to do some errands? If we could get most of the cars out of the streets, and then just size the rest to more decent sizes, we could replace a great chunk of the asphalt with trees. I would love more natural shade in all our cities.

@SafeStreetRebel @TheWarOnCars @mdione We could also replace a lot of the wider streets with more housing. 👍
