Beautiful data viz of #cars #bikes #transit #cities Here are the cities I care most about in North America and in The Netherlands. #Portland #Seattle #Utrecht Americans and the #Dutch have vastly different blends of transit, bike, and car.

Excellent recap by @ianwalker on #MotonormativityWe have a giant blind spot for cars, fear change, and exist in a perfect combo of factors -- economic, political, and cultural that has let #cars dominate not just our public space but most aspects of our lives.w @PatrickRerat #OUVEMAslide: https://ippr-org.files.svdcdn.com/production/Downloads/Attitudes_to_transport_April24.pdf @ippr

Great Big Bollards: A ManifestoA modest proposal for keeping people outside of #cars alive by Dan Marshall @streetsmn "I’d start with installing Great Big #Bollards at all bus shelters. The fact that we don’t protect #transit shelters tells us everything we need to know about modern American morality... Streetlights, signs and stoplights are all built w breakaway bolts to protect drivers and minimize vehicle damage when hit"#urbanism #BikeTooter #visionzero #walkinghttps://streets.mn/2024/05/03/great-big-bollards-a-manifesto/

I've been biking them for 2 years and just learned a new word -- and a new program. H/T @modacitylifeDoorfietsroutes, thru bike paths, are smoothly aligned regional connectors between cities. Fun for tourists. Essential for #climate adaptation.Regional #infrastructure requires incredibly hard political and engineering cooperation.#Utrecht Province already has 150km (93m) of a planned 1500km #doorfietsroutes system. #Netherlands built 146km just in 2023.https://www.provincie-utrecht.nl/onderwerpen/mobiliteit/fiets/doorfietsroutes#Hoe-worden-omwonenden-en-belanghebbenden-betrokken-en-geinformeerd #BikeTooter

What kinds of roads we choose to build (and for whom we build them) is relevant to creating a future we can thrive in.Back in the #USA, #Oregon Metro planner Robert Spurlock calculated a complete linked 1,000 MILE network of low-impact regional walk/bike trails would cost $500M. That's half the cost of expanding a mile of I-5 freeway. Admittedly that's just for 3-meter ribbons of asphalt, not beautiful Dutch fietspad with complex crossings and community input.But we have to make choices now.

In #Utrecht I live in a dense neighborhood in an apartment building, surrounded by other apartment buildings. It is always quiet because most everyone travels by #bikeBeing outside, hearing #birds, kids, people, seeing my neighbors while walking and biking makes me calmer and happier. My blood pressure is getting lower. I ❤️ #Netherlands#urbanism #BikeTooter @malwaretech Meanwhile in the #US:

Cargo bikes – the companies & people who operate them – have very different needs for moving, charging, parking, and loading than delivery trucks. Cargo bikes work well in active cities with leaders who support low emission zones and an improved quality of life.To optimize #cargobikes in resilient cities, logistics planning is key. This #ARUP guide asks crucial questions about routes, road conditions, charging, parking, loading, and employee well-being.#BikeTooter https://fietsberaad.nl/getmedia/9effb085-8f32-4c57-9681-e5fa27ce642b/2024_Handreiking-Ruimte-voor-Cargobikes.pdf.aspx?ext=.pdf

@clive If you are writing about ebikes I'm sure you know that #ebikes outsell non-ebikes in The Netherlands. In 2022, 486,000 of 855,000 new bikes sold were electric: hundreds of thousands of cargo delivery bikes, family bikes, and everyday get-around-the-city bikes.If ebikes make sense to people using flat, safe #Netherlands roads, surely they make even more sense to use on the hilly, car-clogged streets in the rest of the world.

Some slides from a recent talk I gave to the #Portland Bureau of Transportation about how #women experience riding a #bike.I focused on how DOTs can better tailor their approach to providing good infrastructure for people who bike -- or want to bike more.

The Dutch recommend bike paths be smooth, clear of obstructions, and a minimum of 230cm (7.5') for 1-way & 400cm (13') for 2-way paths.Because conflicts inevitably happen on narrower paths.And because we love to travel together with other people. 🚲❤️Jaarbeursplein, #Utrecht#BikeTooter #netherlands

I biked past an Audi convertible in Utrecht yesterday and did a double-take.The car was filled with potting soil and plants. And it was sponsored by the City of #Utrecht and the car-share company MyWheels. They are using the car to post a survey to ask local residents:What does your street of the future look like?Green & trees?Pleasant places to sit?Space for bikes?Hoe ziet jouw straat van de toekomst eruit?Meer groen & bomen?Meer gezeilige zitplekken?Meer ruimte voor fietsers?
