I have lots of thoughts—an alarming amount are about Taylor Swift. And sighthounds. And urbanism/public transportation. We can do better if we decide to. Also, go St. Louis CITY SC!

"Bike lanes are always empty!" Yeah, because bikes move through them quickly as opposed to getting stuck in gridlock like cars do. Well functioning infrastructure, should be empty MOST OF THE TIME. When it's not, it's a problem.

A war on walking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. The #UrbanTruth is that #CarDependency is still the norm in far too many cities, and the #RoadLobby will do everything they can to keep it going. Don’t buy the lie. #WarOnWalking
Picture of a luxury car parked mostly on the sidewalk with an elderly couple with mobility aids forced to walk around the car on the street into traffic. The text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Via the Urban Truth Collective.

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Sidewalks that dump pedestrians into the street for the benefit of turning cars is hostile design. It shouldn't be allowed design in any proper city. 90° corners direct behavior and force motorists to slow their speed and pay attention. This is how you create safe streets.

Transit agency websites should have a “How to pay your fare” page that’s linked prominently from the home page. When I get to a new city, I don’t need instructions on how to ride the bus or train; that’s the same everywhere. I need instructions on paying, which is different everywhere.

It’s remarkable how many people can move on a street when those people don’t feel the need to always take a massive car with them. Mobility in cities is about space.
Busy European street with buses filled with people in a long line of people on bikes, waiting for the light to change in a separated, protected bike lane. Imagine if all those people or each in a separate car.

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car. They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

Driving a car for errands is so stressful. Biking (on protected infrastructure) is not. More Americans should have the ability to decide how to complete each trip w/o car dependency forced on them. 🚲 ❤️

Sometimes the WAR ON WALKING results in no sidewalks at all. Sometimes they put “something” in — but does that really make things walkable for anyone except those without any other choices? The #WARonWALKING takes many forms, but it’s always about making things comfortable for vehicles, not people.
Image of a wide concrete overpass with a huge truck travelling dangerously close to a thin, uncomfortable looking concrete “sidewalk.” The text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars.

When cities force people on bikes onto infrastructure built exclusively for cars, conflicts are inevitable. People on bikes don’t break rules to spite motorists, they sometimes bend them because self-preservation always overrides traffic laws designed for vehicles they aren't driving.
