I'm working overtime to deliver everyone a booklet from the government that tells everyone to prep for a 72 hours emergency so I got myself water for 144 hours and a case of beer

“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.

Look at this chicane! Designed to help slow floods.

Een straat in Amsterdam, met #karrenspoor.🌱 Stel je voor als alle kleine woonstraten er zo uitzien.🤩 Bereikbaar, autoluw. Af en toe een passeerstrook erin. Goed begaanbaar voor voetgangers en fietsers. Perfect voor een fijne, trage en mooie straat!

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

The days are getting shorter, and the sun is rising later and later. Even lazybones and layabouts like me can finally enjoy a sunrise.

As part of VDL's trade war surrender to Trump, the EU has promised to lower its vehicle safety & pollution standards. NGO @transenv.bsky.social calls it a "betrayal of all EU citizens" forcing "monster 🇺🇸pick-up trucks" into Europe that will increase pedestrian deaths.

Vienna’s “Car Bet”: From May to July, households gave up their private cars in exchange for a monthly €500 mobility budget. Result: 2/3 realized they don’t need a car many sold theirs, choosing public transport, carsharing & more. More space, less traffic, better life.

Zürich eröffnet heute am Hbf. ein wahres Prestigeprojekt! Ein fürs Auto geplanter Tunnel wurde in einen 440m langen Fahrradtunnel umgebaut. Auch ein Parkhaus mit 1240 Stellplätzen gibt es & ist 48h kostenfrei. 40 Mio.€ hat der Umbau gekostet - ein Signal welche Priorität das Velo in Zürich genießt❤️

Why can’t we have the nice things?

Jet Lag: The Game (the nebula/youtube show) should honestly be used by European public transport networks as a place for advertisements. (Well not Deutsche Bahn that is.)

HOMO: hope of missing out. When you're so overwhelmed with events and news, you hope to become completely oblivious too all of it

I stand with Ukraine Proud to live in a country (the Netherlands) that unconditionally supports Ukraine. Europe needs to re-arm, to support Ukraine and defend itself and democracy. Ukraine is the one defending Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine should be part of the EU. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

This small park at the end of the bridge in Amsterdam was a car park until a few years ago. In the past four years Amsterdam has removed over 7,000 car parking spaces, making way for greenery, cycle parking and new cycle routes.

Built the biggest bike parking in the world... ...and motorists will start using it 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

Amsterdam is the slowest car city in the Netherlands. And that is exactly what the municipality had in mind with its policy to reduce maximum speed from 50 to 30 km/h: making the city more unattractive for motorists and safer for pedestrians and cyclists. www.parool.nl/amsterdam/am...

Elke jaarwisseling is het weer raak. Agenten, brandweerlieden en hulpverleners lopen volstrekt onverantwoorde risico’s. Hoogste tijd voor een vuurwerkverbod. Wie durft ons daarin te volgen?

I once took this picture of 2 girls transporting 2 oars alongside Weesperzijde in Amsterdam 😀

Wow, this is amazing getfullyear.com

bloody see you next year mate

Silent night in the beautiful streets of Haarlem.

****breaking news**** I had to haul something my cargo bike couldn't manage! So, I did what any rational person would do for something that rarely happens - I rented a cargo van for $25 to haul the plywood home. Silly me, should've bought a truck for $75k 🤦‍♀️

And we have a fountain with trams running directly through it too. I need city planners to know that you can just do that, cause I think it is cool. The water jets lowers when trams run over it.

This is a huge undertaking, but I'm all for competition! Let them cook! turso.tech/blog/introdu...
