A statistic that haunts me because it is 100% true and shocking and useless in advocacy precisely because it is true and shocking: Policy that enables a 1-car lifestyle rather than 2 is equivalent to giving a family a $25,000 annual pay raise.

As we all know, people regularly make these sorts of comments online encouraging violence against cyclists, often attached to their real identities, and there are rarely consequences. I'm glad to see someone being held accountable because this type of dehumanizing language has real consequences.

"It’s amazing how I’m able to ride around on a bike. People kind of see it’s me but since I’m on a bike, they think, ‘No, it’s not her.’ And by the time they realize it’s me, I’m already gone. It’s great to do something normal every day. It keeps me grounded.” - Beyoncé

People are more likely to ditch the car and use an e-bike if they feel confident and safe
An e-bike is a good start. But training, guided rides and social connection give people the confidence to keep using them.

Allowing kids and their parents to bike on footpaths is common sense. This will lower risk to people on footpaths. It will permit parents, and Bike Ready instructors to teach children safe and courteous footpath cycling. We can't do that now because it's unlawful. www.nzta.govt.nz/projects-and...

Today, I managed to cycle all the way to Lower Hutt from my apartment in Newtown, Wellington. It's about 20km and I was able to use cycle lanes and/or shared paths for pretty much the whole way there! I didn't think I'd be able to do this in my lifetime, and I'm absolutely stoked.
