China’s cycling resurgence can best be admired at street level, where cities like Kunshan are building infrastructure of incredibly high quantity and quality. Cohesive networks that offer both practical connectivity and inviting usability; with abundant width, shade, protection, and natural beauty.

Trigger warning. “In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.” Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

"They said the driver, who dropped off her child at the school, did not see the boy and drove nearly the length of the block with him pinned underneath the vehicle. Witnesses told police the car appeared to be moving at a high rate of speed." www.fox32chicago.com/news/boy-9-f...

The next block of the new Hennepin Ave S bikeway (26th → 25th) is open! 🚲✨ Smooth, wide, and separated. Can’t wait for the full stretch to be done. #mplsbike #BikeLife

Start off the autumn with our "Tour de Weehawken"! We'll ride through the 3 wards of Weehawken and down to Pier A in Hoboken, and we'll end our ride conquering the hill of Pershing Boulevard. ridewithgps.com/routes/52626...

What's it like being hit by a car going 40 mph? It exerts similar force as falling off a 54-foot ladder. Kudos to the Virginia DMB for this powerful demonstration in Richmond. "Last year..410 people lost their lives in speed-related crashes across Virginia" www.dmv.virginia.gov/news/youd-ne...

Missed our annual field trip to Manhattan #summerstreets? Watch the highlights and join us next year!

I will only consider mayoral candidates who say they support the JFK BRT.

When designed right, bike infrastructure is actually found to improve the response times of first responders! Don’t let ignorance stop good urbanism!

Just imagine @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, what we could accomplish if we ran frequent service, expanded service to the Ironbound and Newark Penn, fix PATH, improve bus service - then we won’t need to waste billions to demolish a highway & rebuild it just to add ONE lane of traffic.

The DailyHive story was nice also: dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

From now and into 2026 a new Streetfilms series looking at how car-free or car-light streets are a boon for business and good people we talked with Alexander Stahle about Stockholm's pedestrian network of streets. youtu.be/8FfBpvLaLl0

I haven’t seen it illustrated like this before. Very effective messaging. Of course it actually depends a lot on how fast the vehicle’s being driven, how big the vehicle is and how it’s designed, and how small the victims (too often kids) are. Via @yegbike.bsky.social #SpeedKills #CarBloat

However, some of the completed segments are top-notch. Some of the best bike infrastructure I’ve seen.

This Saturday we do our longest ride of the season! We’ll head out from Braddock Park, ride across the GW Bridge, and enjoy the car-less Summer Streets of NYC. ridewithgps.com/routes/52041... #weehawken #northbergen #hudsoncounty #bici #velo #cycling #fortlee #nycsummerstreets #bergencounty

Imagine biking from the Bronx to the Rockaways without a single car in your path. That’s the future the Greater Greenways Plan promises.

It is criminal what the US has done to its children through car culture. They go from supervised activity to car to supervised activity to car ... no wayfinding, no autonomy, no agency, no risk, no sense of adventure or surprise. We're raising helpless, emotionally fragile computer kids.

As someone who was honestly pretty uninformed on the research around fare-free transit, I *highly* recommend this. It's a really nuanced discussion. I also appreciate that they broadened the scope beyond NYC to include smaller and mid-sized cities. Episodes like this are why I'm a Patreon supporter.

Premiering now, this is so good youtu.be/YaSPBdt19qQ?...

"The limits were enforced with 70 new speed cameras and a policing strategy based on the national “Vision Zero” policy, with the goal of achieving zero traffic injuries or deaths."

Where infrastructure meets public health and well-being

They fought for walkable streets. To make their children’s walk to PS 133 safe, the school’s Parents Association made many requests for a traffic light at the corner of 131st Street and Fifth Avenue in East Harlem. ...

Great street transformation

This Sunday, we'll ride through each town in North Hudson, all the way from Braddock Park in North Bergen to 12th Street in Union City. Join us!

Loving this, make it permanently protected you cowards

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. E-bikes support fewer car trips. V @lloydalter.bsky.social

IMPORTANT: If you can watch only ONE video about why more & wider roads won’t solve traffic congestion no matter how many billions you spend, watch THIS one. Then share it with EVERYONE. Jevons Paradox isn’t a rock band. Via Australia’s great show “Utopia” on ABC TV. youtube.com/watch?v=xtO_...

I'm late to this but it's good. Tax heavier vehicles more bcs they do more damage. That's why it's also good that NJ did the same to EVs. www.nj.com/news/2025/06...

We took the @bunchbike.com on a date last night. On the ride home a driver shouted out the window at us: “You’re living the best life! BEST life!” 🚲 ❤️

Good opportunity to extend an invitation to our community bike rides.

The public hearing...how can that process be improved? 👇

🚨 @NJTRANSIT fares are rising! 📆 Starting tomorrow, riders will pay more, with increases planned every year. New Jerseyans deserve better... 📣 Take action: Send a letter, show up July 17, or submit a comment online. tstc.app.sparkinfluence.net/countdown-to...

"Only 33% of American children between the ages of 9 and 11 are allowed to bike or walk to a friend’s house alone, according to the Mott survey... They cannot move through the world without their parents there."

Today I'm proofreading the final version of my book on how to be an effective transit, bike and street safety advocate. There are countless ways to make our transportation system better and I'm excited to see what campaigns for change this helps people kick off islandpress.org/books/if-you...

This afternoon, cut-through Turnpike & Tunnel traffic aggressively rushes through Jersey City. At 6th & Jersey, the site of Eli Bender's recent crash death, a NY TLC driver crowds-in and illegally blocks on-coming traffic. #turnpiketrap

Join us on SUNDAY, June 29th, for Bike Hoboken's third community ride of the season! 🧵for details 👇

The most suburban state in the country just abolished parking minimums unanimously and I’m supposed to pretend big cities in this country should still have them?

Just give us bike lanes and a portable speaker. Love this life for us.

“The idea of paying a $9 toll each day infuriated her. Yet since the policy was implemented she has changed her mind. A journey which used to take an hour or more can now be as quick as 15m. Polls show more New Yorkers now support the toll than oppose it. A few months ago, it saw staunch opposition”

Today's ride has been postponed due to thunderstorms!

Kick off the summer with us on Sunday, June 22! We'll ride through each town in North Hudson. Before the ride we will have a moment of silence for Eli Bender, the 6 year old who was struck and killed while riding his bicycle last week in Jersey City.

the reason these trucks look “silly” is that they have large windshields and a low hood, which increases visibility and reduces risk to pedestrians. trucks like this should look normal and F-150s should be the silly ones

Our obsession with the automobile has taken so much more than road space.

We know that #CongestionPricing is working in Manhattan. Recent research from RPA shows that it's working all across NYC — across all five boroughs, traffic is down and travel times are improving. See all the benefits in RPA's new lab post: rpa.org/news/lab/con...

Strange how any negative framing of auto culture is automatically anti-car & radical yet the billions of dollars spent on reckless car ads and auto first infrastructure isn't framed as anti-pedestrian, anti-bike, anti-transit, anti-person, anti-senior, anti-child or anti-planet.

Join us tomorrow to rally against the @turnpiketrap.org! Learn more and RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/rally...

To all the tired dads out there, I have a city design for you.

A random suburb of Sydney gets a more frequent Sunday morning train service than New Jersey’s two largest cities. PATH needs to do better.

Please join us for a candlelight vigil in remembrance of the child lost on our streets and in support of their family. Remember. Support. Act. We will not forget. Sunday, June 15, 7pm, Hamilton Park Gazebo.
