Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

"Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week."

This is the direct and predictable result of policy decisions, not random happenstance.

Past New Yorker cover with people inside a gym (that they likely drove to) riding on stationary bikes with a bunch of bikeshare bikes outside the gym mostly unused.

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities, services and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an ordinary, “invisible” part of every day life?

It’s actually not that hard. We just have to change our priorities. #HealthyCities

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

A powerful reminder of why active mobility matters. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️
Just 30 minutes of walking or cycling a day can boost our health — yet too few people across Europe reach that minimum.
Time to rethink how our cities support daily movement. 💡

Local shops near protected bike lanes saw a 49% boost in sales—vs just 3% citywide in Manhattan.

Bike lanes aren’t just good policy—they’re good business.

In 1974 a woman walks in the middle of the street with cars parked both sides and a campervan behind her driving. Today all car parking is removed for bike parking and outdoor dining

230+ people came out in Montclair, New Jersey for #kidicalmass. It was epic!!!

Wonderful! May you have many more joyous bike-buses ❤️

Paris cut air pollution, but noise is the city’s silent crisis — harming sleep, hearts, and minds. Over half of Parisians face harmful noise daily. The fix? Less motorised traffic. Quieter cities = healthier lives.

1️⃣ Put trams on a carpet of grass
2️⃣ Put cyclists on a carpet of red asphalt
3️⃣ Combine 1 and 2

Proof that bold choices pay off: Paris slashed air pollution by half by prioritizing bikes over cars. Cleaner air, calmer streets, and a city that puts people first. Let’s follow their lead!

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Sure, go ahead, call me smug for choosing to ride as often as I can.

My choice to ride does indeed do good for (me and) the world around me - including you and yours. #bethechange
