Zeven op de tien respondenten vinden dat er meer aandacht moet gaan naar voetgangers en fietsers in het verkeer. www.gva.be/regio/antwer...

Ever ask yourself why so many climate scientists are also cyclists?

New study of transport attitudes finds that ‘Most people supported non-car travel but thought they were in the minority.’ Does the majority assume their own view is odd and so go quiet in debate, thus enabling loud minorities? By @ianwalker.bsky.social & Marco te Broemmelstroet

Time flies when you're having fun (and doing great science).

Barcelona’s Green Corridors Plan shows how greening cities can reduce premature deaths, urban heat, and thermal stress. It could reduce mortality by 13 deaths per 100,000 people per year. 🟠 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412025000649?via%3Dihub #UrbanHealth #GreenSpaces

Dat is niet de manier om transport en mobiliteit klimaat vriendelijk te maken i.m.o Nog een (veel) duurder ticket voor bussen die bv. gisteren met de sneeuw gewoon niet bleken te rijden op het moment dat mensen die het meest nodig hebben?

What a ride it was. What a ride it has been :-)

"Swapping just 5-7% of car journeys for e-biking, cycling or walking could add 1.1 million years of healthy life. Benefits come from getting people more active, especially in areas where walking and cycling are less common." New OA papers: 1. doi.org/10.1016/j.en... 2. doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

Today is #TransitEquityDay and Rosa Parks' birthday. Especially this year, as federal racial equity work (and the people who do it) are being targeted by the administration, let's all commit ourselves to supporting a cleaner, safer, and lower-carbon transportation system that works for everyone.

New research on 5,000 adolescents from the Netherlands and Spain shows how exposure to climate-related temperatures affects psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression. 🟠

Shared paths where cyclists and pedestrians mix are on the far upper left of this plot: highly preferred by users, but only about as safe as a major street with no bike lane. Separate the modes, friends! Very nice study: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

"Two wheelers like e-bikes and electric mopeds] are actually displacing four times as much demand for oil as all the world’s electric cars at present, due to their staggering uptake in China and other nations where mopeds are a common form of transport" theconversation.com/the-worlds-2...

Transport accounted for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2023, more than any other sector other than power. Even road transport alone (11%) would be in second place unep.org/resources/em...
