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 thatβs fine isnβt it if the cars are not held up.

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 donβt all have to get it with cars.

Cities like to brag about how many kilometres (or miles) of bike paths they have, but the number doesnβt 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.

Itβs 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.

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.

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.
βIβm 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.
