Carfree Cities Alliance @carfree-cities.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A fan of Electric Vehicles (EVs) are you? We just recently posted this Andy Singer cartoon as a response (will link to that in comments). But wanted to make a direct post here. This explains quite well how EVs help in just one (1) area, but automobiles come with doze s of problems. 100

At a time when cycling has become so politically divisive, it was a beautiful, communal act of celebration! 628550

Reposted by Carfree Cities AllianceAustrian Fietser #klimafreak @woemi.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Induced demand is when we build more roads to fix traffic, so more people drive, creating more traffic, which we fix by building more roads. It’s a brilliant system where the solution recreates the problem, ensuring we never run out of either problems or solutions. 27020

Carfree Cities Alliance @carfree-cities.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Reducing car dependence ... yes, that will save everyone money. For the city too: upkeep of streets that people walk on costs a lot less than repairing streets with thousands of cars driving down them every day! 020
