Here we go?????

Good transportation systems make the sustainable options attractive. Bad transportation systems make the attractive options unsustainable.

Now imagine the outcry if a bike was legally parked in a parking spot (even without the lawn mower).

Multigenerational night cycling (mom in the background).

Tailgating someone who is driving the speed limit is the equivalent of breathing on someone’s neck when they are honorably waiting in line to pay for their groceries.

"I sometimes don’t like riding my bike because the cars make it hard to ride places by myself. But with Summer Streets, I got a chance to do just that in the street. It’s nice, with all the biking," writes nine-year-old Julian M. from Morningside Heights.

Chicago’s Divvy bikeshare shattered records in August: 🥇Highest month in program history: 995K rides 🥇Highest month for e-bikes: 500K+ rides 🥇Highest month for scooters: 200K+ rides The City's efforts to make Divvy more affordable & accessible are paying off!

Going 161 km/h on a train. Now tell me how car travel is superior.

No one would ever say: “Chicago criminals are getting slammed by new cameras that went live in June.” You don’t want to get caught, don’t do stuff that will make you get caught.

Did anyone say forest cycling?

It's a beautiful morning to get a bag of groceries by bike and leave the car at home.

We need a literal ‘bike math play book’. Plug in the practice real world activations of riding a bike ~ Environment, Physical and Mental Health, Productivity, Accessibility and Equity (data nerd here) then a direct link to our elected municipal rep pressuring them to vote against car dependency.

Traveling on an electric train at the moment wondering about the thought process behind “let’s not invest in rail but put people in inefficient individual metal boxes that are parked 90% of the time.”

Bike math is paying virtually nothing and getting a lot in return. Car math is selling your soul to waste your life in traffic and inhale kilograms of particulate matter.

A key difference between people on bikes and those in cars is that people on bikes are usually happy to see others riding bikes, whereas those in cars often rage at other people in cars.

Happy Labor Day. It’s a day when you can catch up on your procrastinated unpaid labor. Now go do these dishes.

Want to go for a bike ride? New video. 👇

You don’t know happiness until you walk to the train station, hop on a train, get to your destination and get on a shared bike. Everything else is simply overrated.

No one: My 🧠: of course I will go by bike to pick up sushi

As seen at the 2025 Velo-city Conference in Gdansk, the Big Bike Orchestra is a Polish pop-folk band formed in 2021 in Bydgoszcz. Their unique feature is the combination of playing musical instruments while simultaneously riding a specially constructed six-person bicycle. www.bigbikeorchestra.com

I love street design that doesn't make you feel intimidated to be on it.

Good morning to everyone and in particular to an older gentleman who was holding a white claw on his morning walk.

The future is 🚆 Poland is planning to buy 26 trains capable of traveling at over 300 km/h for its new high-speed rail network. tvpworld.com/88270042/tra...

Don’t mind us. We are just living our best lives 🛴🌴

The U.S. needs marketing like this. People have been sold a car-only life for so long they don’t realize what bikes can do or how good that life can feel. www.luxmea.com

Looks like my tweet from last year with 55mln views and counting is going viral again. Never would have thought this would be so controversial but I said what I said. x.com/natalia_barb...

Fast cars are like fast fashion, might look cool at first but turn out to be completely unnecessary.

On behalf of pedestrians everywhere, this is a race to the bottom that I fully support

Mixed use is when you can grab a beer and within seconds be able to choose the color of your walls. 🎨 🍺 🌆

Life is like riding a bike. Sometimes you must get soaked to appreciate sunshine.

There is life after cars.

"Car-free streets will hurt businesses"

On my first day back after a month in Europe, I’ve just spent more time in a car than I would spent in a week in Europe.

Lower speeds, longer lives. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

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.

"People who depend on cars to get around are more likely to feel lonely and disconnected than those who have access to good public transport, a UK study has found" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world. ‘Tipping points’ experts issue urgent message to world leaders. “Every fraction of a degree above 1.5°C matters. And every year of “overshoot” matters too.” “It’s ultimately a matter of survival.” #ClimateCrisis

Sustainable development (or re-development) is as much about the availability of space as it as about the priorities. Ten years ago this used to be on-street parking.

A conductor on my train goes “it’s my 4th day “ and I have had enough.” First, girl… same. Second, I love public transport.

I’m so blown away by the size and fun vibes of Critical Mass rides these days. It gives me so much hope! @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social

There is no technology that would outperform a simple separation of modes in promoting safety.

Human centric cities allow for human connections.

Remember this? Paris is getting a whole new Metro network in a ring connecting suburbs. It’s HUGE. And built FAST. “The venerable #Paris Métro is about to get its most significant upgrade in decades with the arrival of the Grand Paris Express, a new 200km system with 4 new lines & 68 new stations.”

Gave a keynote today about cycling safety. There was only one right way to make it to the train station 🚲

Dress for destination. Always.

One of the less discussed impacts of transport. “Noise pollution is often overlooked, considered just an annoyance of everyday life. However, long-term impacts of noise on our health and environment are widespread and significant. Children are also particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise…”

A conversation between my friend who visited Poland for the first time from AL (USA): Me: Let’s get dinner at this place 5 min away. Her: Should we get an Uber? Me: We tell distance in walking. Her: 🤯
