If you think Amsterdam managed to avoid being overrun by cars, you’re wrong.
They too surrendered their streets to cars for many decades.
But the people fought back. They forced leaders to see their mistake, & fix it. They’re still fixing it.
It was the pragmatic & “common sense” thing to do.

Nobody wants lots of people driving on their street and
Nobody wants people speeding on their street.
Yet we continue to prioritize the quick movement of cars.

A freeway full of single occupancy electric cars is still a freeway full of cars. Reduce car trips. Fund the bus. Ride your bike.
2. the opportunity cost of an e-SUV.
a rivian's lifecycle emissions are 66 tons (manuf, operation).
the life cycle emissions of a cargo bike are 0.3 tons.
1 rivian requires same carbon as 220 e-bikes or cargo bikes.
which is better for the environment?

Transit and bike lanes help make driving easier
Cars are the worst mode at efficiently moving people on streets
If we want to make driving better for people who have to drive, we need to invest in transit and cycling infrastructure

Car crashes are the second leading cause of death of American children. And it's entirely preventable.
Education and behavior change alone won't stop it. A major problem is road design.
I'm so glad the issue is reaching more mainstream conversations. www.sciencefriday.com/segments/kil...

The Lack Of Science In Road Design Is Deadly
Are traffic engineering decisions based on evidence-based research? Not as much as you might think.

A car stalled on the 101 N in corte madera marin county during rush hour and so cars were looking for any route to get home. I feel your pain, e bikes are dirt cheap and are so much better than being trapped like you all were today. You can do it too. I used to only drive also.
