  1. WATCH: Whether you love cars or hate cars, you should watch this new video and better understand the truth about the real costs & consequences of too many cars in our cities, and the car dependency many of us live in. You might find it hard to watch, but watch it to the end anyway. Via #NotJustBikes

    Every Reason to Hate Cars

  2. Kleiner Reminder an das "Geometrieproblem" von Autos:
    Die Karren nehmen einfach zu viel Platz weg. Egal ob stehend oder in Bewegung.

    Wenn wir bessere Städte wollen, müssen wir das Autovirus bekämpfen.

  3. Gute Laune gefällig?

    Schaut dieses verdammt gute und kurzweilige Video, ladet Euch das Dokument runter und investiert ein paar Minuten, da mal drüber zu schauen und dann fragt Euch: Warum ist meine Stadt immer noch so Scheiße? Und warum sollte das so bleiben?

  4. Everyone acknowledges that roads only work as a network.

    The same can, and should be said, about public transit, about bike infrastructure, about sidewalks.

  5. My bike trailer met a colleague at the grocery store.

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

  6. Einordnung:

    "Leute fahren in die Stadt, weil sie das Gefühl haben, das sei das, was sie tun müssten."

    "Der überwiegende Teil des Autoverkehrs am Wochenende kommt von Leuten, die shoppen wollen. Was ihnen das ermöglicht, ist dieses Parkhaus für 400 Autos. Dies ist ein Lehrbuchbeispiel für eine Parkmöglichkeit, die Autoverkehr überhaupt erst erzeugt."

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    We love our bike trailer. I especially love when I can bike my gear to summer patio music gigs! Few things feel as good as pedaling to a local patio, playing music for a few house 100% battery powered, and then pedaling home!

    I wish someone like you would do a deep dive on the HipStar hiking trailer thing, especially when attached to a bike

    Cheers, from #WindsorON #YQG

  10. Ya know... That fella who was killed recently on Sandwich Street, who was hit so hard by one car that he was flung into the oncoming lane and hit again by a second car...

    This city, that ward, that BIA had a chance to make huge improvements to that street, when The Gordie Howe Bridge Company redid the road, from Ojibway Parkway to the "gateway".

    There could have been seperated bike lanes, there could have been pedestrian crossings, there could have been speed tables, there could have been a lot of things that would have helped make that street less of a stroad and more friendly to people instead of over sized, over fast, over loud, over polluting cars.

    The BIA, run mostly by barowners, fought those improvements, (Hell, they tried to fight the construction happening at all) and so City Council decided, overtly, not to spend the paltry $500k, decided to forego Vision Zero strategies.

    Remember that when you spend your money on dinner or on pints, when you book your gigs, when you plan your events and meetups, but especially remember this when you vote the next time you get a chance.

  11. #RTO needs to be opposed at every turn.

    But yes, we need employers, municipalities, governments, to do more to enable people to get out of their ugly, polluting, deadly, cars, and into public transit or onto bikes!
