We were interviewed by Lillian Karabaic @anomalily.net of @opb.org about our new book, Life After Cars, in advance of our live event at @powells.bsky.social on November 13th.
Is there life after cars? These authors rethink America’s car culture in new book
"Life After Cars" tackles our dependence on cars. The authors say America's car culture is not only unsustainable, it's also destroying our society and connections to one another.

“Bike My Kid to School Day”
Each city councilor (or mayor, transportation director, etc.) must bike a real 5-year-old to school, with the child’s parent trailing behind. No fanfare, no escorts, no street closures—just an authentic experience of what families face every morning.

My son Seamus died 15 years ago today. He was killed by a careless driver in a crosswalk.
He walked at 9 months, almost as if he knew he wouldn’t have much time. His favorite thing to do was throw rocks into water. He loved the moon. He called butterflies “buddy buddies.” I miss him every day.

This dynamic duo is on a national media tour talking up their excellent new book that diagnoses, dissects, and debates how car-dominated places have negatively influenced our lives — and what we'd gain by living life without (or a lot fewer of) them.

@nondriver.bsky.social‘s Bike Bus is the only one I’ve heard of that applied & received a grant to give children bikes so they could ride in the Bike Bus. Unfortunately, that grant ended, leaving those same children without bikes to ride. 🧵
I still think bike buses do more harm than good because of how they reinforce stereotypes about biking being an elite activity. In communities like the Seattle neighborhood I live in with big wealth and racial disparities it's only kids...

In Milwaukee, police will now be able to impound any vehicle driven recklessly.
City Alderman: “It’s a two-ton weapon. We should look at this the same way we look at firearms. Let’s get as many of them off the street as possible.”

This morning’s commute was anything but ordinary, Penelope and I joined the neighborhood bike bus to school! 🚲 Big thank you to our neighbor Alan for leading the way and keeping the wheels (and the good vibes) rolling.

If your school zone infrastructure doesn't look like this, maybe it's time to start asking why not.
