Just drive around it. Honestly, it’s much cheaper.

Why do we give so little care to anyone not in a car in this country. Just walked to the train station, roads treated & clear, pavements untreated & turning to a slushy icy hazard! Some of the most vulnerable trying to walk to the shops safely, but that’s fine isn’t it if the cars are not held up.

Driver: A small slip and your $60,000 SUV might need a lot of expensive work.

Person on a bike: Whoopsie! gonna need to spend a few bucks a new bar grip in the spring.

Weekly grocery run with bike. Minneapolis. 18F/-8C. 4 bags of groceries. SUV behind me had drive up service too, for two bags of groceries. Everybody needs food. We don’t all have to get it with cars.

We biked to school today and had a great ride. β€œI’ve missed riding with you,” my daughter said as we set out. ❀️ I helped push for these new bike racks at school, and while their bike setup still isn’t great, it’s better than it was. Incremental progress.

Bicycles aren't inconvenient; they have been inconvenienced.

Cities like to brag about how many kilometres (or miles) of bike paths they have, but the number doesn’t tell you anything about quality, connectivity, or usefulness.

They should instead be judged on actual bike volumes (like from bike counters) or overall cycling mode share.

YouTube video by Global Cycling Network Carspiracy - You’ll Never See The World The Same Way Again

This video is an excellent resource to rationally explain the biases against transportation modes outside of cars.

It’s a great one to share with friends and family who might be open to a logical discussion about our current motoring environment and the changes we need to consider.

Comments are off because SUV owners need not reply to this with their desperate justifications for owning an SUV. Just go and rethink your life choices. You still have an opportunity to be decent people. Nothing is stopping you.

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.

Yet again, another person struck by a reckless driver. An SUV driver slammed into a woman crossing 9th Avenue in broad daylight. Not an e-bike. Ban SUVs from NYC.

Took the SUV(Sustainable Utility Vehicle) to COSTCO. Handles like a dream with 54 packs of ramen, a watermelon and a year’s supply of TP.

The Elizabeth Line this year moved more people than the 18 lanes of the 401 freeway, the widest in North America.

Traffic is simply a geometry problem, and adding one more lane won't fix it.

Is it time to ban floating bus stops once and for all?

Cyclists clearly cannot be trusted to ride safely around them.

That's appalling.
β€œI’m not anti-cyclist." What could be *more* anti-cyclist than wrongly implying vulnerable road users don't pay tax & citing that as a reason to deny them safe infrastructure?
She sounds more like a Reform groupie who's memorised their bike hate bingo card.

This is what personal mobility empowerment in ageing can look like. πŸš΅β€β™€οΈ

Happened upon this older lady, happily cruising on her e-bike. 🚲

Sat behind her on the flats, got dropped every time the path tilted upward. #bikesky
