Whoa! Look at us.
These things are always hard to measure, but the Copenhagenize Index ranks Montreal as the 15th most bike-friendly city in the world.
Top 5 in North America:
1. Montreal
2. Quebec City
3. Vancouver
4. Portland
5. Minneapolis
I worry we’ll fall in the next few years though!

Later generations were taught that streetcar service declined because passengers preferred to drive. Transportation experts have patiently explained this cause to me.
But primary sources reveal that a small minority of motorists degraded the transit modes that the vast majority relied upon.

Just as in the US, conservative media is whipping up a ‘crisis of men’ as an excuse to blame the left for the entirely foreseeable consequences of right-wing policy. You think Tories are gonna do shit about underfunded education and falling wages?
