Martin Luther: „Even if I knew the world was going to end tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today.“ So, I think it's about time. I'm planting eight cherry trees today.

Words matter. When discussing infrastructure projects and someone says “this will take space away from drivers”, push back. Say: “No. This is about returning space to other modes of transport that were pushed out. Drivers took that space and claimed a monopoly on it.” #ActiveTravel #UrbanPlanning

In den USA werden unliebsame, kritische demokratische Politiker jetzt in Serie und ohne jede juristische Basis festgenommen. Es geht darum, Angst zu verbreiten; niemand soll sich sicher fühlen. Es ist das Playbook des Faschismus.

Planners call it “the popsicle test.” Can a child in your neighbourhood safely walk to a store, buy a popsicle and walk home before it melts? Zoning often prohibits small shops in residential areas. We’re proposing to change that. Tell us what u think! Info sessions June 18 & 19 tinyurl.com/4mpv7mhk

The first few seconds show something amazing. We see the shop windows on the right and the parked cars on the left. "Schaufenster" means shop window in 🇩🇪, which combines the 2 words "Schauen" (👀) and "Fenster" (🪟). You can't look at these windows if there's a 🚗 or even a 🚐 parked in front of them.

GoPro clip from Haarlem this morning shows typical Dutch cycling infrastructure: starts on a Fietsstraat, then protected lanes at the bus station (the entrance to a huge bike garage underneath it is visible at 00:45), ending on a cycle/pedestrian-only street (filmed during the 3-hour loading window)

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

For half a century, Aldi has relied on 📐, ground-level stores with 100 🅿️. It has thus been a key roll of urban 🏗️ in 🇩🇪 with cars in focus. Now Aldi has opened a store in 🇫🇷 that not only does without 🅿️ but also sells on 2 levels. A taboo-breaking move for the entire industry. Changes are coming.

Nothing beats starting the day with an early ride through Vienna: quiet streets, stunning views, and that peaceful morning vibe. The city’s beauty hits different before the rush.

A brand new Fahrradstraße (bike street) near Alterlaa in Vienna just opened, finally closing a gap in the cycling network on my commute. Safe, smooth, and well-marked. This is exactly the kind of infrastructure we need to make cycling the obvious choice. 🚲👏

Solving trip-chains is the holy grail of bicycle transportation. The cover transforms the box into a trunk. Not safe enough for the Mona Lisa, but safe enough for freshly ironed shirts. TBH: Most of the trips, including those by car, are about shirts and pasta, not about moving art for the Louvre.
