“Car infrastructure first” has failed—loud, polluted, and dangerous streets are the result. Build people infrastructure (sidewalks, protected lanes, safer crossings, transit priority) and we get calmer traffic and healthier communities. Newton is the latest proof.

And now something positive: solar and wind energy production in the EU surpasses fossil energy for the first time. ☀️ 💨 #TippingPoint Source: dr.dk

Some recognition of the great job the City of Victoria is doing with bikes #yyj youtu.be/mpWm45qting?...

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

Some of the many reason why the #BikeBus is so amazing & impactful. #Bicycle #Bike #PhysicalActivity

Paris pollution after they added bike lanes and restricted cars

“The big advantage of bikes is that they go directly from where you start to where you finish, when you need to go. The advantage over cars is that they need perhaps 1/10th of the amount of space. Roads that jam up quickly with cars can carry effectively unlimited numbers of people by bicycle.”

Oh look, a policy worked… NO2 has reduced to the legal limit for the 1st time ever, something that wasn’t seen as feasible as little as 6 years ago. bbc.in/4o4ymAx #ULEZ #Pollution #CleanerAir

The ebike is absolute peak urban transportation. I can wear normal clothes, carry plenty of stuff, make it up hills with ease, and I even beat the bus on the way home today.

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, foolish land-use sprawl, too many (& bigger) cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.

Ireland has passed a magnificent milestone. For the first time ever, the majority of new cars sold over the past 12 months were electric or hybrid. Pure petrol and diesel cars are increasingly unpopular. We're driving a major sustainability shift for the good of all. 🚗🇮🇪 www.cso.ie/en/releasesa...

STUDY: “This study examines electric bicycle mode choice and which modes they replace.” “43.1% of electric bicycle trips & 63.2% of EB mileage would have been undertaken using a car if no e-bike had been available, highlighting their substantial potential to reduce transport-related CO2 emissions.”

"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. #visionzero #publichealth yle.fi/a/74-20174831

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

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. 💡 #ActiveMobility #HealthyCities #UrbanMobility #Sustainability

Plant flowers🪻, add tables🪑, redirect cars🚗 — kids play, parents connect. Milan’s #PiazzaAperte opens streets to people, not cars. #SmartCities #ChildFriendly #UrbanLife 📷@urbanizehub

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. #BikeLanesMeanBusiness #CityMakingMath (via @fastcompany.com)

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. @eiturbanmobility.eu

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!

Cycling encourages social interactions between different road users. Dutch children on their way to school are greeted by the happiest traffic guard, Johan Zandvliet! HT Marco Te Brömmelstroet

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 grist.org/biking/one-m...

Happy #BicycleDay 🚲🍭

Cars behave like an invasive species when infrastructure leaves room for interpretation. If you don’t control their movement with strong design, they’ll take over every unclaimed inch. Urban spaces need clarity, not car-led chaos.

Barcelona's neighbourhood plazas... priceless!!! Not gigantic, not expensive... YES community builders. Increase sense of belonging. Improve social health, in addition to physical and mental. All neighbourhoods have them, wealthy or not, equally vibrant. Lovely!

Launching a pilot in Dublin with 60 e-bikes, it aims to generate data that supports better cycling experiences. Let’s create a more sustainable future with data-driven cycling! 💚 www.eiturbanmobility.eu/cycling-data...

Is Europe experiencing more flooding? Yes! 2024 saw the most widespread flooding since 2013, with 30% of European rivers exceeding the 'high' flood threshold and 12% exceeding the 'severe' flood threshold For more @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social check out: climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2024/f... 🌏🛰️🧪⚒️🌊⛈️

Rome prepares to unveil a new extra-wide pavement and cycle path on the street between the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus.

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
