It’s the people who are saying the most hateful things that happen to have the shiniest crosses around their neck.

The city before the automobile. Trams, bicycles, pedestrians, horses. Quieter, more relaxed, and people still got where they needed to go (And got a little bit of exercise, too.) A dreamy view of #Barcelona, from a tram running down Carrer Gran de Gràcia, 1909.

In cars, children are spectators to the world. On a bicycle, they are players within it.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Imagine what could be done in Chicago if they enacted congestion pricing and applied that revenue towards active mobility infrastructure.

There are so many things in this world that we can't control, which is why it's even more important that we give attention to the things we can. How you move throughout your day is determined by many factors, but if you can, when you can, choose a movement that gives back to you, even a little bit.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want walkable streets.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Feeling adrift today? We see you. Everyone can live by example. It doesn't mean you need to be perfect, just intentional. In a world tilted towards dystopia, sometimes just riding a bike is a radical act of resistance.

When NYC started congestion pricing last week, we knew the local mainstream press would be out talking to drivers who were against the toll. So we went out and heard from some people who weren’t driving, including advocates who fought for this historic program. thewaroncars.org/2025/01/14/1...

Hey @oakparkil.bsky.social are you planning to plow the bike lanes or jst let us fend for ourselves? As the Transportation Commission is about to release their BikePlan - it’s painfully evident that we are still on our own. #BikeVOP

Rly hope Chicago’s Mayor and Chicago Dept. of Transportation are watching and imagining a better City for the people. (and revenue stream). @chicagodpd.bsky.social

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

I'm not sure why we let state DOTs -- run by people trained to build big, fast highways -- decide whether big, fast highways are sometimes a bad idea. www.startribune.com/mndot-scrap-...
