In the 1660s, this French philosopher came up with an invention that solved the problem of urban transport forever. It had nothing to do with Robo-taxis, flying cars, or Tesla Tunnels. 🧵

The best bike plan starts with a good car plan. Instead of grafting cycle lanes onto their streets in a patchwork approach, Dutch planners practice “ontvlechten”—structural disentangling of the bike and car networks by reducing automobile speed, volume, and access. Haarlemmermeerstraat, Amsterdam.

Road rage is real, and it's experienced not only by drivers, but also by cyclists and pedestrians. 🤬🚗🚴🏽🧑🏽‍🦯 But the main reason is traffic, and it comes only from one group -the deadly one. More cycle lanes ease traffic and make more people willing to leave their cars. youtu.be/wmUP8OH50E0?...

Es alucinante cómo ha bajado la contaminación en París en 15 años. Anne Hidalgo lo ha llenado todo de carriles bici y no sólo ha reducido la contaminación en un 40%, sino que ha sido reelegida.

I will never get (probably future generations will think like me) why we keep growing and cutting Christmas trees 🎄 in the cusp of a climate emergency. We could do differently and instead of seeing a dead tree decaying in a living room we could be sponsoring a living one out there 🌲🌲🌲🌲

Trump threatens Mexican sovereignty by proposing to label cartels as terrorists, yet the deadly opioid crisis was sparked by consulting firms and Big Pharma. The real terrorists? Domestic corporations entrenched in the neoliberal status quo.

Emergency vehicles using bike lanes has become a common sight in Paris (see video). Moreover, recently, response times have become significantly shorter, which may be linked to this practice (although it's hard to prove it scientifically)

There is an elected leftist majority. What if macronist neolib centrists lean in that direction? What if.

This is who Elon Musk has always been. I am really worried about the infrastructure investments we are finally making that Musk now decides are “waste” because they contradict his personal financial interests.

"the effect works in reverse, too. Whenever some city proposes taking lanes away from a road, residents scream that they’re going to create a huge traffic snarl. But the data shows that nothing truly terrible happens."

In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically. rdcu.be/dbFbB

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. @StreetsblogUSA.bsky.social usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/p...

Only 3% of flights are responsible for the bulk of contrail warming. More than half of this warming comes from flights over North America, Europe and the North Atlantic, meaning small tweaks to this group of flights can have a big impact. Read the report ➡️ https://bit.ly/3O31lEy

This is mind-blowingly bad. Most up-to-date study on Atlantic Ocean currents system shows signals of collapse.This could happen in 2025-2095 with 95% probability. Land to grow wheat may drop by half. Winter temperatures in North Europe could drop between 10 and 30 °C. 1/

Wow. Carmakers are going to hate this, but I think it's great: A new California bill would require all new cars to contain speed governors that prevent them from going 10 mph+ over the speed limit. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
