Posters from the Dutch Stop de Kindermoord ("Stop the Child Murder") movement of the 1970s

Poster featuring an illustration of a car stylized into a monster with a gaping, toothy maw ready to chomp on a bicycle. The text, translated from Dutch, says, "The bike. Public food" (This is apparently a play on the Dutch term for public transport, "openbaar vervoer").
1973

Poster featuring an illustration of a bicycle that looks like it's been in a collision, with books and papers that appears to have fallen off the back. The text, translated from Dutch, reads: "Small game hunting, all year round. Stop killing children."
The poster is from 1973 and the artist was Charles Boost.

Cyclist Jean Brunier after riding 120.958 km/h behind a motorcycle at the Montlhéry Autdrome, France, October 1925 #BicycleBirthday Jean Brunier October 9 (1896-1981)

Photo of a man in a bathrobe and helmet holding a bicycle with a large chainring, saddle with its front stabilized, and inverted front fork (I think this is so he can ride a little bit closer to the pace vehicle). Those bikes usually also had wooden rims, which won't melt at high speeds.

This isn’t my type of “cycling” at all — blasting through red lights, almost hitting pedestrians. Makes me cringe. But it’s an interesting look at Montreal in 2004, before almost all of the modern bike infrastructure.

There's a reason why Somerville hasn't had a traffic death in 4 years. The city isn't perfect, but they've made a concerted effort to design many streets around people and not cars. You can still drive, but you're going to have to do so slowly and while paying attention.

Somerville is intentionally making roads harder to drive on. It’s getting results. - The Boston Globe

To make roads safer, the city says, sometimes you have to put some obstacles in drivers' way.
