Hey everyone,

American Fietser on Mastodon will no longer be an active account. My Twitter is still in use, but my efforts and hopes will be going with Bluesky.

If any of you ever come over to the Bluesky platform, I'd be happy to see you there.

We are slowly, but surely getting more of your favorite urbanist content creators and community members over there one at a time.

All they sell you is an illusion.

I prefer my excess vehicle for daily errands to be magnitudes below that of car culture.
I wish my country's zoning and infrastructure made it easier to passively "get my steps in".

One of these is an affordable, safe, efficient, enabling, and sustainable form of urban transportation.

The other is a Tesla.

*Before the bros come after me about "affordable", please reference the cost of cars, car maintenance, and infrastructure costs to uphold car culture.

Let's be absolutely clear about something...

This is NOT bike infrastructure.
This is water management infrastructure.

Take a page out of the Dutch cycling playbook.

Store your chain lock on the seatpost. ⛓️

Busy cities can sound tranquil. 🕊️

The noise and chaos felt in cities is not caused by people, it's caused by cars.

Cars. Ruin. Livability.

Thank goodness I don't have car payments weighing me down since I use an "elitist" e-cargo bike for transportation, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford this dental implant that my country deems a luxury. 🦷
