The cycleway in the Netherlands goes behind a petrol station to avoid any conflict with vars coming in or out of the petrol station. Such a small detail, but it makes cycling safer and more seamless, just smart, stress-free design. This is how you do infrastructure right.

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting. Go Denmark, Go Greenland!

Finally, @theglobeandmail.com publishes someone who knows a lot of history, in sharp contrast to most of their sophomoric fulltime pundits.

One of the greatest wins corporate PR pulled off in the U.S. is convincing the vast majority of journalists that an activist is biased and agenda-driven and thus an unreliable source, but a CEO must be quoted in every story in order to lend it credibility and "balance."

Hey friends. This is just between 1200 of you and me. If you think my back alley bakery is a worthwhile business that should exist into the future, would you be so kind as to place an order online? If not, that's cool too. www.sugaredandspiced.ca

Today marks the 100th anniversary of a L.A. traffic ordinance that reshaped public space in the city and across the U.S. I spoke with historian Peter Norton (@norton.bsky.social) about how the auto industry helped limit pedestrian access to streets, paving the fast, deadly roads we navigate today.

i don't have a joke here, i just think it's rad as hell that this guy is making tiny tiny homes that are attached to bikes for people experiencing homelessness in toronto

We used to know how to build a good SUV

How we move through urban environments shapes how we experience life. One path fosters connection and awareness, the other disconnects, isolates, and distracts.

“In a typical week, relying on a car more than 50% of the time for out-of-home activities is associated with a decrease in life satisfaction. This implies that at high levels of car dependence, there are negative implications that outweigh the benefits of car-based travel.” ssti.us/2024/12/09/t...

Cherish and nurture your inner child as you age. This vital part of you—the one that finds magic in small things, laughs with abandon, and greets each day with curiosity and wonder—is essential for maintaining joy throughout life.

IMPORTANT: “Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says. Studies from around the world show bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions and are a boon to businesses.” And removing them would cost a LOT & make traffic worse. #Toronto www.cbc.ca/news/science...

"I need this truck because I might haul a new tv home from Best Buy in the next 3-5 years"

Might be a good time to remind everyone that the Dutch got real movement on their infrastructure transition not through calm dialogue. Shit hit the fan pretty hard and they quite literally raised absolute hell and fought for it.

Elevated transit can create shaded people-spaces underneath like these sports facilities in Vienna.

@swats24.bsky.social We got almost a corgi’s worth of snow today! ❄️🦊❄️ #yeg #yegwinter #wintercityyeg

There’s a beautiful, massive Scotch Pine between our house and the neighbour’s. It’s full of life year-round, and is part of the local squirrel population’s superhighway (which also includes my roof). Here’s my view of this magnificent life form this morning, from the yoga mat.

One of the joys of using a bike to get around is the ability to just stop and smell the roses or admire the frazzle pans. The North Saskatchewan River this morning while heading to Second Breakfast after the @coffeeoutside.bsky.social 10th anniversary celebration. #yeg #yegbike
