What would a TV ad promoting alternatives to driving look like? What if people who love cycling and progressive transportation reclaimed ideas like freedom, independence and even patriotism? We decided to give it a shot. Check out our new video, "America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike."

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...

The truck used in the New Orleans terrorist attack is a Ford F-150 Lightning, which is perfectly designed for this kind of attack.
It weighs more than 6000 lbs, accelerates to 60 mph in just 4 seconds, and the battering-ram-shaped front is nearly 5 feet tall. Deadly by design.
