Hop on, ride off! 🚆🚲 As of today, bikes are welcome on-board of EU trains. All new and upgraded trains in the EU will have dedicated spots for full-sized bicycles. So, you can ride wherever the train takes you!

“A review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car. The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”

SUVs and large utes are among the most popular vehicles for car buyers in Australia. They may also be the most deadly.

Thanks @tombabin.bsky.social for making this clip about how pervasive car brain and motonormativity is as a barrier to encouraging more walking, cycling, and transit. Draws some parallels to smoking back in the 1950's. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #VisionZero www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdqZ...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA
Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

The Dutch language differentiates between sport and transport cycling: “running with wheels” versus walking with them. The vast majority of cyclists are "fietsers"; riding upright in normal clothes, at a moderate pace, without safety gear—representing a more accessible, casual, and inclusive style.
Two women in casual autumn attire cycle side-by-side along a bidirectional protected bike lane lined with trees and historic buildings in Rotterdam.

Cyclists who deny the need for safe cycling infrastructure are a problem and deserve your criticism. Cyclists choosing to ride ebikes or wear lycra are doing so for their own reasons, are not inherently to your detriment, are often on your side, and those choices are none of your business.

Cycling to work offers numerous benefits for employers, employees, the environment, and society as a whole. In the Netherlands, employees can claim a tax-free bicycle allowance of €0.23 per kilometre, making it an even more attractive option. www.daszogefietst.nl/werkgevers

The Dutch have a saying: 'You are not made of sugar, you won't melt in the rain!'. When you use a bicycle for practical purposes, the weather becomes less significant. Whether you commute to work on a bicycle, you do so both on sunny days and when it's raining.
