Marked crosswalk installed at Harvard & Goodman, a vital Bike Boulevard crossing! A signal or flashing beacon would make it better. But by law, motorists have to come to a stop now to let folks cross. Thanks Alyssa R for the photos.

Every light cycle featured a seemingly endless wave of Londoners on bikes! (And the bike lanes are processing more people per light cycle than the car lanes.)

(Demo) Protected bike lanes are coming to East Ave next year. Unfortunately, Culver is quite skinny. There's no room for the bike lanes to continue through East Ave & Park Ave when a center turn lane is created. Geometry. Perhaps Culver can be widened someday but old trees would have to come down.

"The thing that makes a bike lane 'equitable' is that most people can afford a bike even if they can’t afford a car" "the transportation we needed was there all along, just waiting to get better. A bike is magic, and an e-bike is a bike without hills and showers. That’s enough miracle for now."

It’s remarkable how many people can move on a street when those people don’t feel the need to always take a massive car with them. Mobility in cities is about space.
Busy European street with buses filled with people in a long line of people on bikes, waiting for the light to change in a separated, protected bike lane. Imagine if all those people or each in a separate car.

Safety alone isn't enough to get more women cycling. Cities must start building cohesive networks connecting the myriad places women need to go. This means looking beyond “Can women cycle safely here?” and asking: “Can women use this network to live their lives?” LISTEN: www.dw.com/en/why-arent...
