This is one of the things that makes the American project so special. I’m regularly asked if I’d get Dutch citizenship, which for me requires renouncing my U.S. citizenship, and this is fundamentally one of my biggest hangups.

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true: There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

First half of today’s bike journey, Nijmegen-Amersfoort-Amsterdam started with a train+bike bridge, swung past a memorial for a time when America didn’t suck, a great public garden along a bike lane and train tracks, and then Amersfoort.

I can distinctly remember the most recent time I rode a non-electric bus, because of how rare it is for me now. Also because It was outmoded and dingy in every way and was loud and lurched about.

In the US, zero emissions buses accounted for only 5.6% of total new bus registrations in recent data theicct.org/publication/... US is absolutely falling behind on this metric, and things seem to be getting worse in recent months.

In one of those “multiple things can be true” moments I’m quite bummed by the U.S. failing to make it to a quarterfinals again (with what seemed to be a very promising team that just didn’t show up) and glad that it doesn’t have orange taint on it, and that Belgium ultimately weren’t cheated.

This week, the Supreme Court finally killed off the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I've spent the past decade studying the VRA and the attacks on it, so I thought I would offer some historical perspective, and where I think we're headed. This will be a long thread; buckle up.

One of the bigger failures of American politics in the last 50 years is pretending within the parties and meaningful labels beyond "Democrat" and "Republican."

It’s a nice day in Amsterdam so here are some photos of political posters from around the city for the upcoming election. First a time series of a bus stop near my house.
FvD poster in Amsterdam with the text in Dutch “Geen fascisten in de raad! Geen NSB posters in the de straat!” In English: no fascists on the [city] council. No NSB posters on the street.”

New research finds negligible benefit from "minimum passing distance" laws requiring drivers to give cyclists space when overtaking them. Protected bike lanes are far more effective. doi.org/10.1016/j.jc...

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing: - Complaints about car-honking are down 70% - The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48% - 6 million fewer cars - Half as many traffic-related injuries - 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year
curbed.com
How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.
One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.
