Americans are addicted to cars, but in many ways it's a forced addiction. Decades of policy have made cars the dominant mode of travel at the expense of others, and marketing reinforces the car as the "best" choice. This isn't to excuse individual choices, but car dependency is a systemic issue.

Our statement on Elise Lusk’s tragic death.

Walk Bike Berkeley is deeply upset that Elise Lusk was killed when a motorist hit her as she walked across Ada Street at California Street on January 26. A trip to the grocery store should not end in tragedy. Ms. Lusk’s preventable death again highlights that the City must redouble its Vision Zero efforts to eliminate severe and fatal collisions. We call on the City to quickly install simple, proven measures to slow vehicle traffic and protect pedestrians in response to this and other recent collisions.

Some might be confused by some of the pardons from the ‘Law & Order’ tough on crime guy but it’s very important for fascists to send a strong message establishing to their supporters that a crime is not an act, it’s a type of people who fall into certain classes.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Graphic showing a 9m track for metros can move as many people as a 175m wide road for cars.

Bike lanes are even better for people who never ride bikes than for people who do ride bikes because it keeps the bikes out of the lanes they are driving in and they don't even have to be out there in the rain and snow putting in all that effort! They get to just sit, all safe, not killing anyone!

The New York Times is giving a murder their “both-sides” treatment. What the hell is the matter with you?!? Someone kills a person with their car, and your reaction is to be like, “Some people think murder is bad, but others don’t like bike lanes, so 🤷‍♂️.”

Death of Cyclist in Paris Lays Bare Divide in Mayor’s War Against Cars
Paul Varry was run over on a city street in what prosecutors suspect was a deliberate act of road rage, as bikers and drivers choose sides.

It sent a shock through Paris, a city striving to transform itself into one of the great cycling metropolises in the world: a bicycle rider, crushed under the wheels of an SUV in a bike lane just a few yards from La Madeleine, the landmark neoclassical church, in what prosecutors suspect was a deliberate act of road rage.

A murder investigation has been opened, and last week, Mayor Anne Hidalgo led the Paris City Council in a minute of silence for the cyclist, Paul Varry, a 27-year-old who was also a cycling advocate. Ms. Hidalgo, a member of the Socialist Party, delivered an emotional speech in which she signaled she would continue to roll out her famously aggressive policies that aim to drastically reduce the role of the automobile in Parisian life.

“I am truly angry,” she said. “The future does not belong to cars.”

An outpouring of emotion over Mr. Varry’s Oct. 15 death has put a spotlight on the dangers facing cyclists in a city that has seen an explosion in bikes and cycling lanes in recent years. But it has also underscored the frustrations that motorists increasingly feel in a place that has chosen to limit the movement, speed and parking options of cars.

In recent weeks, as cycling organizations, spurred by the death of Mr. Varry, have demanded more protections from aggressive drivers, others have complained about Parisian bikers themselves, some of whom have earned a reputation as dangerous risk-takers.
