forever bike from @velo-held.bsky.social picked up in Dresden last month which so far has been serving me well in and around Kraków with it's gates carbon belt drive, son dynamo and lighting system, and Shimano Alfine 11 for local hills. Veloheld lane is truly a bike commuter's dream come true.

The muli Muskel is light enough to carry up stairs and strong enough to haul 70 kg. The muli isn’t bulky – it’s built for cities, elevators, and everyday life. Try it out and take it for a test drive Compact. Capable. Crazy fair. #lessbike #morepossibility #muliurbanride #crazyfair

Some cities love to show off their bike culture in staged events, but try riding with your family on a normal street. Hostility, honking, no protection. We don’t need hashtags and night rides. We need safe infrastructure. Every day. #cycling #urbanism #mobility

What does it mean to be a “Paris” of something. Well, historically, it's been about the architecture or the arts and culture scene. Today, it could be cities are willing to emulate the City of Love by making the bold choices necessary to become a more livable city. #15MinuteCity #Urbanism #CargoBike

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s. Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Just wanted to point something out: american suburbs + car culture quietly isolate us. You don’t see your neighbors, you don’t share space—you drive alone, live alone, struggle alone. It keeps us in our class bubbles. That’s by design. Capitalism prefers us divided and quiet.

I look at cities like Kraków where any plan to curb car use is taken as an attack on personal freedoms. Congestion pricing would infuriate to the verge of revolution and simultaneously solve all their funding and traffic problems. Therefore it will unfortunately never happen.

The only time I find myself exceeding 25kph is rolling downhill, otherwise there's really no need for those kinds of speeds in a congested area. We rightly want to limit cars to 30kph in cities. Road bikes out in the countryside? Open it up! ⏩⏩⏩

What? You mean large vehicles take up more space and make traffic worse? Even when there are technically fewer vehicles on the road?

It was never about reducing congestion or safety. Perspective is all opponents care about. Look at that bike cruising by traffic. Look at that bike lane taking up space my car could park in. How dare a bike be given any consideration in a motonormative culture.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

In a car-bicycle crash, a cyclist is at least 50 to 100 times more likely to be injured than a car occupant. A cyclist is virtually always at risk, while less than 1% of car-bike collisions result in injury to the driver or passengers.

Cars have only been the dominant users of roads for about 4.5% of the time that roads wide enough for them have existed! For over 95% of that time, roads were built for people, carts, and animals - not cars. www.worldhistory.org/article/758/...

Right turn on red puts the driver's focus to the left for oncoming traffic, often blindly accelerating right into crossing pedestrians or cyclists who have a green signal and marked crossing.

Wicked shows us a clean car-free society everyone wants but only as fantasy - a utopia with an antiestablishment hero exposing its flaws. Ironic how dystopian films rarely include cars. We’re being conditioned to see progressive society as nightmarish. #motonormativity

Despite progress, bike infrastructure still lags. In Kraków Swoszowice, this Wilga crossing is ice or mud on either side making it impractical unless frozen solid or dry. Daily use is ruled out for half the year, and alternative routes are few and far between, unless you want to choke on car fumes.
