A bit ago I did a photography series of folks biking around Denver for transportation. There are many aspects of this project I love, I might repost a few www.andrewalger.com/denver-bicyc...

Paris has focused on alternative transportation and it is paying off! Bikes, transit, walking! Hey Denver, want to remove the brown cloud?

Apple just updated their fitness app and now I realize I am 85 miles short of 1,000 active transportation bike miles for the year. Time to schedule some longer errands and see if I can get there!

β€œSwitzerland banned all motor racing, period, a restriction that endured until 2018.” Wow!

Here's how many Swiss trains (excluding the 18 local tram lines) serve a metro population the size of Providence's in three hours midday:

There are 40 metro areas in the USA bigger than ZΓΌrich's.

One of my pet peeves with RTD is they sacrifice their user’s experience to earn a buck on advertising to folks not using the service.

Dispatch from the E Line this morning:

- the advertising on the window won’t let me show you how satisfying it is to fly by traffic on I-25.

- a man just gave up his seat for a lady and she handed him a friendship bracelet.

Sometimes public transit rocks.
