Cities are failing women on bikes, but we can fix it YouTube video by Shifter

Great video on the many facets of why women cycle less than men. This can be a contentious issue so it's good to see such a dispassionate discussion that teases out some critical aspects of the gender gap.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Please do remember to help us out guys

I have a lot to say but I can’t because I don’t want to come out as bitter

But I do believe smaller accounts especially need some love. Big artists eat and absorb all the support, but everyone needs a hand in feeling appreciated… please, help us.

“You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You-only you-will have stars that can laugh.”
(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
