Afterwards we will lead a bike ride to install and tend to other memorials around Jersey City; all are welcome to join us.

Join our friends at Bike JC @safestreetsjerseycity.org for a memorial to all road traffic victims bikejc.org/wdor #WDoR

The city of Jersey City is asking for feedback from residents regarding their transportation needs and challenges, and it is seeking this input through an online survey. jcitytimes.com/city-seeks-r...

Check out the video about Italy's first shared cycle parking pilot, featuring bike boxes from fietshangar.nl!

Speeding kills nearly 12,000 people every year. Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) tech can stop speeding before it kills. Read @familiesforsafestreets.org new white paper which outlines a policy framework for states to require ISA for high risk drivers: static1.squarespace.com/static/669fe...

Scandicci is piloting ten Fietshangar units in collaboration with Fondazione CR Firenze, LegaCoop, and Biclò, bringing Dutch cycling infrastructure to Italy with its first shared, neighbourhood bike parking with space for 6 bikes and accessible via the Biclò app. Find out more at: buff.ly/RiI60ci

One advantage of biking for transportation as a family - and having 4 bikes with solid stands and cafe locks - is we don’t need a bike rack.

Greenery alongside cycle tracks cuts the risk of flooding by managing stormwater locally, the hedge also makes a nice barrier between bikes and motor vehicles, reducing spray from motor vehicles during rain, as well as improving the look of the street.

Recognizing bicycle parking as a critical component of any infrastructure network, The Hague’s Amare concert hall has opened 1,000 guarded and sheltered spaces—intended not just for ticket holders visiting the largest cultural building in the Netherlands, but anyone visiting the city’s busy centre.🧵

Ferdinand Bolstraat, Amsterdam in 1979 and today. Not only has car parking been removed but all cars have too, this busy shopping street is now for bikes, pedestrians and trams only

Someone: "You can't haul that on your bike" Cargo bike people:

Low Profile Delineators, aka Zebra’s, keeping Delivery trucks from parking in the bike lanes. @mass.streetsblog.org @streets.boston.gov

I don't have any words either @safestreetsjerseycity.org www.reddit.com/r/jerseycity...

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

There are few stop signs 🛑 in London. Why? Intersections are designed better which is great for continuous bicycling as you only need to "give way" at intersections to priority users. This is the end segment of my latest Streetfilm on Low Traffic Neighborhoods. FULL FILM: youtu.be/iaRcd5hEY1Y?...

Thanks to the Illinois’ massive investment in transit, Chicago has a bright transit future, with the dawn coming next year: —50% increase in every-10-min bus routes to 30 citywide —8-minute midday headways on rail lines —24-hour Orange Line service (Red & Blue already have it)

(explaining an american car to a european) yeah so imagine if you were sitting in the back seat while driving,

Here's a public transit model a lot more cities need to know about. It's the #Karlsruhe Stadtbahn. It runs tram-trains, in this metro region in #Germany of 310,000. Outside town, they run as standard commuter trains. Inside town, they operate as trams (streetcars)—no need to change mode. 🧵

If the US + Canada would only get out of the car-freeways rut, we'd find there's a world of solutions out there to gridlock, congestion, and commuting frustration. Some are contained in North America's past—like the Interurbans that linked cities to suburbs, countryside, and other communities.

It's all about democracy and receiving a sticker.

There’s many things going wrong with the world, but the bikeification of Antwerp (and Paris, and to a lesser extent Brussels) since Covid has been a wonder to behold

🚨Baltimore has done it! The second-largest US city, after Denver, to pass a complete repeal of parking mandates in 2025. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

What will you do with your one wild and precious life? If you’re an American, prob sit in car traffic for *many* hours! “The average U.S. car commuter is spending a record 63 hours annually stuck in traffic amid changes in when and why we drive, a new report finds.” www.axios.com/2025/10/28/t...

✅ Election Day! Polls are open till 8:00 pm tonight in Jersey City, as we choose a governor, state Assembly members, county sheriff, mayor, city council, and school board members. When cyclists vote, cyclists win! #IBikeIVote

"In 2024, the city recorded 251 fatalities and 51,555 injuries." The city needs drastic change now. -Sigh-

In the dark days of winter, moods are low and it’s important to do something, anything, to shake off the cobwebs. momentummag.com/cycling-and-...

Never forget: the human cost of inaction to make our road safer is incalculable.

Today is Election Day! Polls are open until 8 p.m. in New Jersey. If you want to learn more about the candidates, aren't sure where to vote, or want to follow along for live results, check out our elections page @njspotlightnews.org

Right now, when states/cities have repeat reckless drivers -- street racers, driving over 100 mph -- they're suspending their licenses. BUT that DOESN'T WORK. 75% continue to drive. Speed limiters offer a better alternative. #StopSuperSpeeders static1.squarespace.com/static/669fe...

If you feel strongly about avoiding punitive enforcement, speed limiters (ISA) - which are already standard in the EU and on bike/scooter share everywhere - are the way.

Tacoma, Seattle, Denver have all dropped speed limits on residential streets to a 20 mph default without encountering this issue.

A self-described wellness advocate and substance abuse counselor who drunkenly crashed his pickup truck into a Fourth of July barbecue in Manhattan last year, killing four people, was convicted of murder Monday.

An essential function of government should not be to make cars more affordable, but instead our governments should focus on making a good life possible without a car.

ILLINOIS ELIMINATES PARKING MANDATES AROUND TRANSIT Early Friday morning, the Illinois house and senate passed the People Over Parking Act, which will eliminate parking mandates for property around transit hubs and corridors. Explore areas that may be impacted misterclean.github.io/illinois-peo...

This interview correctly focuses on too many cars being the cause of congestion, and there is plenty of discussion about expanding and improving public transit. Yet nowhere in these 7 minutes are bikes ever discussed as a transit option.

"This is another example of the upside-down priorities of Mayor Adams’s bizarre war on biking, giving criminal summonses to dozens of people on bikes every day, while bicyclists and pedestrians are constantly put at risk by dangerous drivers and hazardous streets" - @bfurnas.bsky.social

My all time favourite is Paris, Ile-de-France. Very clear signage, branding compliments the metro system.

All the evidence on Alzheimer’s is converging on: live in a walkable city and have friends that you talk to and do activities with.

We need to separate facts from fiction when it comes to what is — and isn't — an electric bicycle.

I've been following this issue for decades: Research over the years continues to show a link between air pollution -- primarily from automobile traffic -- and dementia. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/h...

“In May 2025, Scotland’s largest city [Glasgow] reached a milestone that would make any transportation planner in Portland or Montreal do a double take: during the morning rush hour, there were more bicycles than cars traveling along Victoria Road, a major artery…” Via @momentummag.bsky.social
