That line about infrastructure to slow down drivers - while technically correct - is rich coming from someone who restricted the ability of cities to put in a particular one last year which actually works. If Ford doesn't want speed cameras, then REPEAL BILL 212 NOW! #shame #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli

MP urges council to reconsider controversial Ayr cycle lane plans MP Elaine Stewart has urged South Ayrshire Council to reconsider controversial plans to install cycle lanes in Ayr town centre.

There is nothing controversial about cycle lanes they are good for the environment, our health and wellbeing, and from all the research, business.

I've yet to see a city that's built cycle lanes that isn't more vibrant and beautiful than before.

Droughts and floods, which have been exacerbated by climate breakdown, have created a deficit in wheat production in the UK of over 7 million tonnes.

Folk at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) have calculated that this is enough wheat to bake more than 4 billion loaves of bread.

Rode the new and still in-progress Court Street protected bike lane and it’s already a thing of beauty. Makes such a difference on what used to be a very dangerous street for cycling.

Brooklyn Still Choked by Placard Elite Leaving Their Cars Everywhere With No Consequences - Streetsblog New York City Drivers park illegally — often with city-issued placards — and virtually none ever gets ticketed by cops.

On an average summer weekday, there are 475 illegally parked cars along key corridors in Downtown Brooklyn — 57 percent of which had legit or fake parking placards that let the holder park anywhere with impunity.

We used to live not far from there and crossing Christophe-Colomb by foot was scary, as it was used as a car sewage with cars rushing up and down. I hope your city gets many more of these and that Québec city does too. Intersections are the final magic key for complete and safe bike networks.

The REV Saint-Denis is great too, but I think this protected bike intersection might be my new go-to recommendation for people visiting Montreal who want to see high cycling volumes in the North American context.

Throughout all of this pushback and opposition, Vancouver experienced an authentic bike boom, with the mode share increasing by nearly 300%. An impressive 10% of trips to work are now made by bike, one of the highest rates in North America. Women now make up nearly half of all trips made by bicycle.

When newly-elected Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson started converting car lanes to bike lanes in 2009, pundits claimed it was political suicide. In 2018, he stepped down after three terms as the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. So what can this tale teach us about so-called "bikelash"?🧵

Québec supprime le financement du Baromètre de l’action climatique Ce projet de recherche mesurait les attitudes et les perceptions des Québécois face à la crise climatique.

« Depuis cinq ans, le Baromètre confirme que non seulement la population québécoise est consciente de l’urgence, mais aussi qu’elle veut agir contre les changements climatiques. »

One of the oddest things about the people I see defending and pushing AIs is how blithely they dismiss this as a significant negative outcome, one that should matter.

I guess in their minds, its just the "little people" (not them) suffering for the "greater good" of more chatbots etc etc
