“Every $1300 New York invested in new bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 added year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment. #CityMakingMath www.reuters.com/article/busi...

This is such an important study that I sent it on to my city's Engineering team, who are already all-in on bikes and Vision Zero. Sharrows are ONLY good when they signify a truly shared street, where bikes and cars go at roughly the same speed. CROW and NACTO have good examples of both.

Another great #TeslaTakedown right now in Boston. Best chant so far: “We don’t want your Nazi cars, take a one-way trip to Mars!”

"With so much debate over the impacts of congestion pricing, let’s take a look at the hard data and see exactly what’s happening:" bettercities.substack.com/p/congestion...

Need to rebrand bike lanes as mobility lanes. Especially in areas like Charles street in beacon hill where locals and tourists are fighting for foot space amongst strollers on the bumpy brick sidewalks.

What you can’t see are the three children riding bikes to my right side. What you can feel is this drivers impatience with having to drive responsibly. Do drivers not realize that this behavior puts undue stress on those outside of vehicles? Give the kids a break, let ‘em ride their bikes.

A participant’s account of the Boylston bus lane preservation protest: carfreeboston.org/the-copley-s...

Protest TOMORROW, 3/18, 6PM, Copley Square Back Bay millionaires want to remove the Boylston St. Bus lane, negatively impacting 20,000 bus riders. Demolition is scheduled to begin Tues at 7pm. Be there to stop it.

A few recent articles in prominent Boston publications needed a proper response. The anti-bike backlash is in full swing and we're not having it. carfreeboston.org/rebutting-bo...

Disturbing trend. This is not caused by adding bike lanes in Boston.

Went down to Mass Av today to see where @mayorwu.boston.gov is having bike lane infrastructure removed and met Fernando who bike commutes year round and relies on the new Mass Av bike lane in Dot to keep him safe You can see how the flexposts are no longer installed behind him 😳

Extremely frustrating. We need more barriers, not fewer, to prevent cars from blocking the bike lane. mass.streetsblog.org/2025/03/05/b...

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

Love to see more cities promoting car-free zones. Public spaces are always better without cars! Do it Seattle. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

So much ratio

Boston has seen controversy to the point where mayoral candidates are promising to stop building them.

Devastating. Michael Burawoy was an incredible spirit, thinker, anti-capitalist, and author of Manufacturing Consent among many other publications. Rest in peace, comrade. www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

Good thing the roads were salted and plowed or else we wouldn't have anywhere else to walk.

NEW: Yesterday, the Department of Transportation issued a memo that says DOT and DOT-supported programs should "give preference to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average." www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

I hasten to remind everyone that one of the consequences of increased car dependency is reduction in the quantity and quality of in-person interactions that are necessary to break the spell of fascism. It's going to take a lot of local effort just to keep things *only as bad* as they are now.

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

30 years ago. We knew. Even Exxon knew.

Seriously need this in Boston too. Who is working on it? www.npr.org/2025/01/05/n...

🚨🚨 Take action now 🚨🚨 Urgent: send an email [email protected] with comments about the North Station drawbridge redesign. They cut the plan for a bike/pedestrian component and hoped nobody would notice. The project was part of the Big Dig as far back as 1993. Some background 👇

🎉We did it. The 3rd circuit has rejected New Jersey’s last minute request, meaning congestion pricing is officially going to begin in exactly 11 hours. 🎉 I wrote an article about how everyone benefits from congestion pricing, feel free to share with any skeptics! open.substack.com/pub/betterci...

Everyone benefits from congestion pricing. We can get this in Boston as well. congestionreliefzone.mta.info
