Once there is a will, it’s remarkable how easy the “way” becomes. This project will add 2.5 miles of protected bike lanes and will take a single week to construct. The hard part of building safer streets is not the engineering.

It's crazy that Ted's Bulletin is opening in a brand new apartment building in NoMa where instead of street parking there's a years-old two-way cycletrack directly in front of their entrance. Don't they know bike lanes kill business????? I give it 6 months before it goes under 🚳

A better headline might have been "Bike Lanes Can Make Roads Safer For All Road Users"

A weekly dose of #BikeBus medicine is good for the soul. Start a bike bus where you are, show the demand, build community, campaign for safer streets for kids and enjoy the ride! #bicibus #PowerOfTheBike

Making arguments that biking is not green and cars are more environmentally friendly. Lol

Traffic reducing interventions DO actually reduce traffic. Great debunking by @mragilligan calling out false claims and bad journalism. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2022/nov/24/ignore-false-claims-and-bad-journalism-most-ltns-do-reduce-traffic?CMP=share_btn_tw

Better cycling infrastructure does not only improve conditions for cyclists, but raises the quality of life of ALL residents. New case study from #Frankfurt. HT @aitorehm https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213624X22002000

Removing street parking not only makes cities more liveable but it also increases revenue for local businesses, thereby making the city more financially solvent in the process. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07293681003767785

The impact of new bike lanes (in Frankfurt):

"Better cycling infrastructure does not only improve conditions for cyclists, but also contributes to a higher quality of urban life for residents."
