what is holding back wider adoption of e-bikes is the fact that road networks in most n. american cities are just too scary for normies no wayfinding. disconnected wheeling networks. distracted drivers. too high speed limits all of it adds up to locking people into car dependency

On June 12, 1817, German inventor Karl Drais rode his dandy horse (Draisine or Laufmaschine) - the first design that put two wheels in a line - 14 kilometers in and around Mannheim for the world's first bicycle ride. Happy 209th #BicycleBirthday, BICYCLE! 🚲 🎉
Antique painting of a man riding a "dandy horse", the precursor to the bicycle, with a mountainous landscape behind him. At the bottom is written: "Der Freiherr von Drais".

I’ve researched the entire history that led to the 25th Amendment and what followed and wrote about all of it nearly a decade ago. Since then — and, in part, due to its limits and complications — I’ve only called for Section 4 to be invoked on two dates: January 6, 2021, and today.

We have the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. Now is the time to use it.
It's past time for Trump to be removed from office. This is a global crisis. It's time for J.D. Vance and the Cabinet to invoke the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

The wars that you almost certainly oppose start in front of your house, at the curb, where you'll also find the bus and bike lanes that your neighbors oppose. It's immediately adjacent to the infill housing your neighbors also oppose. That NIMBY opposition is the cause of Ford F150s AND oil wars.

We purposefully dismantled a robust national rail network and replaced it with forced car dependency. Seeing high-quality European sleeper cabins for €55 highlights the freedom we lost to decades of social engineering and auto industry subsidization.

What does it take to move 1000 people? Smart infrastructure supporting choices that don’t take up so much space (or produce so much emissions/pollution, cost so much public money etc). Mobility in cities is about space. Graphic via @seattlesubway.org based on a Sydney graphic I spread years ago.
Graphic asking “What does it take to move 1000 people? One linked train with four cars, 15 buses, or 625 cars requiring over 5 acres of parking.”

💯 I'm a city planner in my bones. What's more important to viable cities than supporting people: Their access to healthcare, food, housing, and their basic right to flourish in all their diversity? Fossil fuel & AI-oligarchs believe cities can exist without free-thinking people. They are wrong.

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.
