One of my coworkers was saying she hates bike lanes cause cars keep getting damaged by hitting the curbs separating them. It’s almost like that’s the point, to protect cyclists from drivers who can’t stay in their lane. 🙄

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 9 m wide track for metros can move as many people as a 175 m wide, 7 lane road for cars.

I am once again going to bang my wee drum about how many folks go and pay to holiday cycling about in a rewilded/tree-lined car-free 15-minute city and don't stop to think for a minute that home could be just like that, after they drive home again from Center Parcs.

It's amazing how many posts and stories like this you see. E-bikes are revolutionizing transportation, enabling people to go more places without cars, and there's an all-out assault to kill them.
I Bought an E-Bike for Convenience Not Expecting This

I bought it thinking it would just make commuting easier. Didn’t expect it to completely change how often I go outside. Now I take routes I used to avoid, just because distance and hills don’t feel like barriers anymore. It didn’t just change my ride it changed my routine.

Autonomy, authority and anarchy: creating a better school culture
Most schools live with a quiet tension between what’s written in policy and what actually happens in lessons. Getting to grips with this tension is at the heart of creating an improved school culture.
