Add another tally to the "things you can do on public transport."

Amazing what the bus and train drivers will let you bring on board if you wait till off peak and give them a big smile.

PS i know the Germans won't blink an eye, but Australia is so car centred it's hard for people to fathom taking the PT, let alone using it to move furniture.

My bike trailer met a colleague at the grocery store.

It's rare to see signs of active, utilitarian, middle-class mobility in Antananarivo.

It was a complicated day for logistics. Note the motorcycle helmet in the bike bag in the back of the taxi with my folding bike.

Honestly, I don't know how some car-free and low-car people get by without folding bikes.

Crap! A Burley Travoy isn't supposed to fold this way. Any advice on how to repair this?

NB: Replacement parts will be hard to get in Madagascar, but good mechanics are plentiful.

Can you live without a car in the mountains? Yes, with planning and a few different bikes

Did you know that you can purchase an electric vehicle for as little as $1,000?

Not only that, these vehicles also:
- Can skip traffic jams
- Be parked virtually anywhere
- Get over 1,000 mpge
- Emits no harmful air pollution
- Don't require a government permit or expensive insurance
- Can easily be repaired by yourself, and don't require long waits at expensive dealerships
- Include optional exercise equipment, allowing you to choose to get exercise while in transit (if you want) and skip the gym membership
- Can be operated by people of almost any age, so your kids can now transport themselves

What is this vehicle I'm describing? Some sort of newfangled flying car? A quantum teleporter?

No: It is the humble electric bicycle.

Spread the word.

I'm so excited to experience the #ShortNorth as it should be—#CarFree! On Saturday, there's a holiday event happening and they're closing High Street to cars for several blocks. I can't wait! https://shortnorth.org/holidayhop/ #Columbus #Urbanism @heartlandurbanist @heartlandurbanist_channel

I see a lot about #CarFree #BikeFriendly cities, but honestly I think the only way towards drastically reducing car dependency is great public transport. Not bikes.

The focus on cars vs "lighter traffic" as bikers & pedestrians is one thing, but ignored is the bike vs pedestrians.

There are places (especially underpassages) in Oslo I am kinda terrified of walking, due to "high speed bikers"

Bikers are generally way less likely to stop for pedestrians at pedestrian crossing than drivers. Again, in Oslo, I need to mind bikers WAY more than I need to mind cars when I walk.

Care must be taken to not remove one problem for pedestrians by introducing a new one.

And, again, being able to bike, specially a city, is something many people are not able to do. A too narrow focus on a form of transport that excludes disabled is #ableist

We need #accessible dependable public transport.

This, btw, also means accessible, dependable public restrooms in connection with the public transport.
