Wife bumped into a friend and their kid while cycling home at sunset by the Hudson on a beautiful evening. 2 of them happened to be wearing the same shoes. The joy on their faces! #BikeLife. #CantDoThisInACar. #ShoePic for @qagggy.bsky.social

putting them in a snowsuit to walk outside and then take off the snowsuit in the car for the car seat was a tragedy we lived for far too long. 🙃🙃

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

Paris has been praised in recent years for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’ve been doing is common sense. They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air and cooling the city.

Split-image comparison of Gerard Douplein in Amsterdam, showing the same street in the 1980s and today. The historic black-and-white photo is dominated by parked cars and moving traffic, while the modern colour photo shows the street transformed into a lively public space filled with bicycles, cyclists, pedestrians, trees, cafés and outdoor seating.

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

Car dependency wasn’t an inevitability. It was a choice. And once it was made, it didn’t become an inescapable trap, although it can feel that way. It just takes making different choices, that are hard at first (because that’s what dependency does), but that get easier. It takes vision and will.
