Who cycles to IKEA? Lots of people - when there’s high-quality cycling infrastructure to get there and plenty of bike parking and E-bike charging points waiting for them!

The Upper West Side of Manhattan has about 10K parking spots, most of them free. That’s ~40 miles of parked cars in an area of just 2 sq mi. It’s a complete degradation of nearly all public space in the neighborhood. Just ask the kids who go to school on the street in this picture.

This is really important — For 60+ years, car advertising has programmed us to think driving is freedom, a symbol of status & power.
