🚨 New research by us! 📣 Most British drivers don't know how dangerous SUVs are to other road users, but adding information to SUV marketing materials seems to do almost nothing to change people's plans to buy SUVs Here's a 🧵 on why harder action is going to be needed 1/10

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch & share this news story. It’s pretty much perfect. Ford claims wrongly that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/1...

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

This is HUGE news! "A tort is a legal term for a civil claim that allows a person to ask for damages because someone else caused them harm. The new tort [...] seeks to compensate the qualitatively different wrong of coercive control, and the qualitatively different harm of loss of autonomy"

Under mayor Anne Hidalgo, Paris was “the most influential city in the world”, says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Parisian car traffic fell by more than half between 2002 and 2023, while cycle lanes expanded sixfold. Bikes now make more than twice as many journeys as cars.

Why the ‘Trick-or-Treat Test’ still matters for better neighbourhoods. My past @opinion.bloomberg.com article. Every year, #Halloween trick-or-treating reveals a LOT about good and bad urban design and more walkable neighbourhoods all year long. Think about it as you look/walk around on Halloween.

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

Reminder #BikeHFX - we need many bums on bikes this Friday to show our support for better infrastructure to promote active mobility! Details below 👇

Critical Mass is back! FRIDAY JULY 25. Meet at Grand Parade (City Hall) 6:00pm, rolling out at 6:30

Councillor Kathryn Morse denounces Mayor Fillmore's "anti-active transportation motion" 🚲 #BikeHfx

I wasn't expecting to drop everything to write this update today. Mayor Fillmore is putting forward a motion that could kill or drastically reduce the Regional Centre Bike Network. It's problematic, reckless, and lacking in evidence. My take here samaustin.ca/the-bike-net...

“A review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car. The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”

Hi #bikehfx 😃 wondering if anyone has advice on how they’ve been handling this on Upper Water Street? There was no traffic when I went through today but it’s usually bumper-to-bumper.

my god, nova scotia what is there left to say www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/news/2025...
