“The kinds of figures we’re talking about—that would actually save public money, remember—are rounding errors in most transportation budgets. So cities are literally wasting public money by not investing in smart bike infrastructure.”
This is still a really important conversation, between @modacitylife & I. Give it a read.

Fantastic new @notjustbikes video!

When it comes to making a better city, it's parking all the way down. Tackle that, and there's no shortage of things you can do with the space.

Give it a watch:

"These parking minimums — most of them unchanged since 1965 — are now gone and in their place are bicycle parking requirements, including one bike for every two lanes at bowling alleys and at least one bicycle spot for every 800 square feet at restaurants."

I love walkability. I just had a 15 minute break in a Zoom and I walked to the ATM, realized I forgot my card, went back and got it, went to the ATM and got cash, some snacks from the bodega, came back and turned on my heated blanket and took a bathroom break and still had like 90 seconds to spare.
