Build it, and they will come. 💪🏾 🚲

Od davnina je poznato da su se stari samuraji davili u punjenim paprikama prije bitke, a gejše ih dočekivale s pljukanci biftekom i telećim bečkim i čokoladnom tortom.

Hrvatska gastronomija. 🤡

Bravo!

Sad samo dodaj pravu infrastrukturu po kojoj se ljudi sigurno mogu voziti.

Ono kad zezneš nešto i tom trenu shvatiš grešku.

Kako je jednostavno oslobodit nogostup od tiranije auta. #zagreb #vratimozivotnaulice

Mogla bi ova parada ponosa biti češće. 🏳️‍🌈🚴 #vratimozivotnaulice

It always brings me joy to see people having fun where a highway once ran. That road through the centre of Utrecht (Netherlands) was such a mistake. I’m still glad the canal came back.

🚗 Road: 1973–2010
🛶 Canal restored: 2015

A great example of life after cars.

Strange how nobody cares about pedestrian safety until the villainous cyclist shows up

The villain.

A church put to good use.

Before and after photo of Place de Catalogne urban forest

Europe’s heatwave is not showing signs of breaking. We can no longer debate whether or not to make drastic changes.

Paris’ Place de Catalogne is a perfect example of how heat-generating road space can be replaced with an urban forest for water capture, shade and cooling in this formerly hard space.

A variation of the official UK no overtaking sign, replacing the car on the left with a person on a bike to indicate that along this stretch of road, it would be illegal to overtake anyone on a pedal cycle or ebike.

In addition to 20mph speed limits, the true way to unlock a massive network of safe cycle routes would be to prohibit overtaking of people on bikes on residential streets. While 20mph limits make streets feel safer, being closed passed remains as a barrier to many choosing to cycle instead of drive.

Dobro da su dodali još jednu traku za aute na Držićevoj i pritom smanjili nogostup. Nema gužve više. 🤡

Amazing being right in the heart of such a busy city and all you can hear is people and birds

Paris before-and-after street transformation

Car parking removed between 2003-2023 in Paris

PARIS: In the last 20 years, 44ha of Paris car parking has been transformed, making room for wider sidewalks, bikes & buses (15ha), bike racks, EV spots, accessible space, & 2.2K new patios/terraces for outdoor dining. 90% of Paris trips are via walking, biking & transit.

Sezonskih gužvi na autocestama će biti sve više. Trajno rješenje je u obnovi željeznice da ponovo bude konkurentna autu.

Mihanovićeva, Zagreb?

Meanwhile in Zagreb, ne žele zatvoriti 100 metara Masarykove da se ne naljute vozači.

The brand new school street Rue Chaptal in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. A few years ago it was a parking street, and after changes in several steps, it is as you see it now for a few weeks.

guess we're just not much of a biking culture.

Peu de hauteur de végétation

Un mètre de hauteur maintenant

Un avant/après que j’avais fait Rue Pierre Foncin et l’état actuel de la végétalisation. De tels changements de rue mettent du temps à prendre forme.

Čak i pješačka zona koja ima mnogo prostora za napredak - radi. Vratimo ulice ljudima.

An Amsterdam street packed with colourful cars in gridlock in the 1970s.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.

Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

When you remove cars, life comes back roaring. 👦 🧒 ⚽️ #paris

Bonjour again. 🥰

I’m puzzled how was this AC mounted there. 🤔

If your city can afford to build roads everywhere, it can afford to build cycle networks too. It’s not about money — it’s about priorities. It’s a political choice

Photo with a before and after situation of a parking lot in the center of Utrecht. In the before situation there are 12 parked cars. In the after situation there are dozens of parked bicycles in the same space.

Car parking vs. bicycle parking.

The math is simple!
