Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane
Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

Fantastic turnout for today's Kidical Mass ride! Over 100 riders took to the streets of Norwich to a) have fun and b) demand safe cycle routes for kids. One young lad summed it up very well: "I wish we could do this every day!"

This is the best cycling advert ever, especially because I’m in it. It beautifully shows that cycling is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. Bikes bring people together and remind us that cycling is one of the best ways to improve our health and wellbeing.

This past November, Maastricht quietly introduced the Netherlands' first “fietszone” or bicycle-priority zone, which takes the concept of “fietsstraten”—streets where cars are treated as guests—and applies it across the entire city centre (within the ring roads) rather than along a single corridor.🧵
