70 cars vs 1,000 bikes

"It's definitely a win for anyone who wants fact-based and data-driven decisions," said Michael Longfield, Cycle Toronto's executive director. #safestreets www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing: - Complaints about car-honking are down 70% - The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48% - 6 million fewer cars - Half as many traffic-related injuries - 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

When Dutch cities first started removing cars from their streets and squares, some cynics argued, “We’re not the Mediterranean!” Opponents claimed they didn’t have the requisite year-round walking and terrace cultures of Spain, France, and Italy; due to the hostile climate. They definitely do now.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

The earliest bulbs are starting to peek out! Winter isn’t forever :)

Just at a curiosity, is there a reason why PEI and Newfoundland refused to agree to remove barriers for selling alcohol? Glad the other provinces are pursuing this along with eliminating some of the other interprovincial trade barriers. #cdnpoli #ONpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Looking forward to doing the keynote at the @rideillinois.bsky.social Walk and Bike Summit this May. Grateful for the opportunity to counter an auto dominated mainstream narrative by reframing road safety and reMarketing our streets. IllinoisBikeWalkSummit.org

Today I learned that this bike exists, offering an accessible option for people that don’t have the mobility to ride their own bike. What a neat idea :) youtu.be/r9yUjZJRWqg

I was putting 4yo to bed and re-noticed these fantastic mushrooms by @alyssagarciaart.bsky.social . So thankful for artists that get to know themselves and then share their findings :)

We are spending our morning knitting, mending with our #swiftdarner, and chatting about garden plans. Winter isn’t forever, after all 💜 🍁 @worthmending.com

Almost 4yo wants a “science-flavoured” birthday cake. How does one interpret that?
