Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela are linked in many ways! #Hallacas

Fossil fuels are the source material for most plastics + for the chemicals added to them. As firms lose their iron grip on energy production, indications are they're shifting to using oil + gas for plastic production, which has more than doubled since 2000 + looks set rise 40% in the next 10 years.

Only 2 years since the ban on neonics, France's population of insect-eating birds has risen 2-3% - from banning a single type of insecticide. Demonstrating just how much harm we cause birds when pesticides kill off the insects they need for food. @paneurope.bsky.social

There were many before, and there'll be many after! Live with integrity!

Cities need to support their residents by building safe infrastructure for healthy travel! A visit to the cemetery can be interesting for a casual bike ride, but deadly otherwise! #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill #ActiveLifestyles #EndCarDependency

It would be lovely to rest under a tree like this for eternity!

Gothic or Modern?

Eat healthy and enable active lifestyles! Make short trips by bicycle safe and possible! Build safe active travel infrastructure! #PoliticalWill #MobilityIsEquity #HealthIsWealth #BeatNCDs #EndCarDependency

Rest In Peace! #BikeLife *Sound On!*

Head in the right direction! Enable #ActiveLifestyles and #BeatNCDs when you #EndCarDependency! Ensure that your population has viable options getting from A to B. Re-enable safe bike riding to school/work in Trinidad & Tobago! #PoliticalWill #MobilityIsEquity

When more people cycle, it becomes relatively safer for each individual. Not necessarily fewer accidents overall, but the risk of accidents per person decreases. #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/os...

In order to improve transportation for the average citizen in Trinidad & Tobago, we have to do things differently! #EndCarDependency #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill #ActiveTravel #PublicTransit youtu.be/KLB1SjPov2k

“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children,” states the report. “With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers at all levels to act.” Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs.

"Daylighting isn’t a culture war issue; it’s a common-sense one. Whether you walk, drive, bike, or push a stroller, we all want to get home safely. And if that means giving up the illusion of one extra parking spot per block, I’d call that a fair trade."

This remarkable reversal in the fortunes of cars and bicycles can be attributed to active promotion of cycling by the Paris city authorities, and by a cultural change spurred on by Covid-19. #PoliticalWill #MobilityIsEquity www.fleeteurope.com/en/last-mile...

In a statement, police said the incident had been classified as aggravated manslaughter. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Additionally, it was noted that Zaytsev did not have any previous convictions and had expressed great sadness at the loss of lives. After hearing the attorney’s submissions, the judge ordered the fines. www.jamaicaobserver.com/2025/08/01/r...

The reason is simple: active mobility is one of the most cost-effective investments governments can make—not just in transport, but across all sectors. And the benefits extend far beyond those who walk or cycle. #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill blogs.worldbank.org/en/transport...

The speed limit in some urban locations was planned to be reduced from 50 km/h to 30km/h this year. The reductions were put into law by the previous govt. as part of the Traffic Road Act 2024, but speed limits have not yet changed. #PoliticalWill #MobilityIsEquity www.thejournal.ie/four-pedestr...

Many studies have linked health outcomes such as hypertension, infarction, and deaths from cardiovascular disorders to the exposure to traffic noise. #MobilityIsEquity www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Providing better options and opportunities to travel actively are key to improving our nation’s health and wellbeing. *Trinidad & Tobago!* #PoliticalWill climateoutreach.org/active-trave...

Lower speed limits! #RIP #PoliticalWill www.cnc3.co.tt/one-dead-fol...

Policing in the capital city is woefully inadequate. Police no longer "walk the beat," and driving by in a SUV isn't effective. Look at implementing a city bicycle patrol unit! It'll be way more effective. This area is also poorly lit! #RIP www.cnc3.co.tt/man-dies-at-...

Estimates hold that chronic noise exposure contributes to 48,000 new cases of heart disease in Europe each year and disrupts the sleep of 6.5 million people. magazine.hms.harvard.edu/articles/noi...

Pediatric research confirms that early food introduction is highly effective at preventing common conditions like peanut allergies. Read more on EMJ: www.emjreviews.com/allergy-immu...

This is great for those like me who live on the Lizzie line but one does wonder why can't the rest of the UK have this level of investment.

A huge 81% of trips under one mile are now being walked or wheeled with the average distance walked at the highest level since records began - at 230 miles per person in 2024. Great to see some fantastic walking statistics in today's National Travel Survey results. www.gov.uk/government/s...

“We will soon launch a national campaign which will encourage citizens to Step Into Wellness.” *Enable active lifestyles! We should be building active travel infrastructure to end car dependency! Give us safe viable options to end our sedentary lifestyles!* newsday.co.tt/2025/11/12/b...

We need to do many things that'll take #PoliticalWill to make the roads in Trinidad & Tobago safer! #MobilityIsEquity

Was simply riding his bike to school. What are we doing? Seriously.

Residents matter too! www.guardian.co.tt/news/police-...

How about converting these spaces into something greener by planting trees, or boosting business activity by introducing on-street seating areas for restaurants? Even better, why not a protected bike lane for sustainable cyclists? discerningcyclist.com/cities-witho...

Rather, many of the positive health outcomes associated with increased physical activity can be reaped from moderate-intensity physical activity - oftentimes the category in which cycling (and walking) falls. #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill urbancyclinginstitute.substack.com/p/how-two-wh...

"We are hopeful that this and the other cameras set to go live here in the near future will reduce the risk of accidents." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Let's install traffic enforcement cameras to automatically generate violation notices! They work 24/7 and don't endanger enforcement officers! #Enforcement #TrafficCameras #SafeStreets

INFRASTRUCTURE! #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill youtube.com/watch?v=mqEk...

What are we considering in Trinidad & Tobago? #MobilityIsEquity #PoliticalWill youtube.com/shorts/CtZsG...

Bicycles - Why you might need more than one Artist: Dave Walker

Give us well maintained green spaces, working streetlights, pothole free streets, proper sidewalks and public transit.....water, garbage collection, etc.. I'd like to see the International Waterfront fountain working again! I'd love to see bike riding to school re-enabled! House the homeless!

"It can't happen here!" Trinidad and Tobago is a can't do country! #PoliticalWill #MobilityIsEquity youtube.com/watch?v=jHDK...

This is what we need to enable all around the Caribbean! #BikeJoy #PoliticalWill youtube.com/watch?v=PVNv...

It's common knowledge that storing vehicles in public green spaces is peak nature! #nature #GreenSpacesMatter

Let's revitalize our rivers, streams, and trees! #Nature #PoliticalWill newsday.co.tt/2025/11/09/c...

Cycling for transport needs to come out of the shadows in Trinidad & Tobago! #MobilityIsEquity

Take care of your physical, mental and financial health with just a few pedals! Transportation revolution! #MobilityIsEquity

We're locked in to car dependency in Trinidad and Tobago because public transit is poor, and there's no active travel infrastructure. No viable commuting options mean that our sedentary society with record high NCDs have to sacrifice their health and finances to the car industry! #PoliticalWill

Right Turn On Red has always been illegal in Brazil 🇧🇷, but I just found out this evening that some cities are starting to test it being legal. They have no clue the fire they're playing with. Once this is legal and engrained in motoring society, it will feel impossible to undo and people will die.

www.canada.ca/en/global-af... $51 billion over 10 years, followed by $3 billion per year ongoing, to revitalise local infrastructure – the hospitals, universities, colleges that serve our people, the roads and bridges that move our goods, and the water and transit systems that sustain our towns
