BikeLoud is a nonprofit full of people trying to help Portland be a city where one quarter of all our trips are done on bicycles. Bikes are an equitable affordable solution for our climate emergency. When we ride bikes, we feel better! bikeloudpdx.org

PDX is now almost as cool as Amsterdam!

Portland Art Museum just unveiled its bike-thru tunnel.
Thank you bike advocates for your work, @bikeportland.org for keeping the idea front & center, and Barbara Bours Brady for the new bike parking!

Can't wait to visit @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social!
It's open, and it's an absolute triumph.

I never thought we'd get our own little version of Amsterdam's famous Rijksmuseum tunnel! I had to see it to believe it.

Want to end most traffic violence? It's not just putting up signs that say "20MPH" in streets where people live.

It means narrowing drive lanes, installing speed cameras, requiring license plates on cars, adding car speed controls to #StopSuperSpeeders

Is it all worth it to save lives? Absolutely!
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

Compare and contrast the Government language.

£3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’.

Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’.

And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

What kinds of roads we choose to build (and for whom we build them) is relevant.

#Oregon Metro Robert Spurlock calculated a complete linked 1,000 MILE network of low-impact regional walk/bike trails will cost $500M. That's half the cost of expanding a mile of I-5 freeway

The Netherlands is investing €1 billion in cycling infrastructure to connect hundreds of thousands of new homes nationwide. These funds will build bike highways and improve bike-train intermodality, enabling residents to access jobs, healthcare and education without being locked into car dependency.
