How do your kids get to school? There are no school buses in Joensuu, Finland 🇫🇮 #WCCJoensuu2020


Cool. Winnipeg's current AT budget is $1.6m. $1.4m came from Federal Gas Tax. Our city put in only $250,000. Not even one big project slated in budget. Pretty deceiving graphics in our past multi-year budget touting sustainable transpo. New council this year. 🤞 #wpgpoli

The Sherbrook/Maryland "bike lane". Professional Engineers thought this was a good idea, the city approved it and we spent money to make it like this. When a cyclist is seriously injured here, it won't be an accident, but an inevitable result of the design.

Normally, we all ride together on Friday. After a pandemic, we also celebrate on Saturday. But not this year. Not without Ukraine. Soon we'll all ride together. Meanwhile, support #BikesForUkraine. Read how and why: WinterBiketoWorkDay.org

Thinking to yourself, "Surely that thing is illegal b/c it's so dangerous for pedestriansl"? Fun fact: That's impossible in the USA! The feds have created zero -- zero -- vehicle design rules related to pedestrian safety. Why is that? Great question for @NHTSAgov


Now, everywhere. Point A to B for everyone.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was there last. Just a few years ago, all of #Paris was choking in car traffic. This is new. This is leadership. Cities are a result of choices. Video @Khayat_Fouad

Now that we finally have snow, be prepared for the flood of winter maintenance videos 😅🤗 Here's part of our main route #3, in the suburbs, being plowed for the 4th time today. Several observations worth noticing. 🧵 1/1.

Estonia to start subsidizing cargo bikes - probably a more efficient form of government spending than subsidies for electric cars. @UT_moblab news.err.ee/1608799822/sta…
