This mornings bike ride in cold snowy Denver was really enjoyable. 80% of the 4.5 miles was on protected lanes and that is such a game changer! Especially on cold snowy days.

I wish all cars were still this cool. The hood of the average sized truck parked behind this was well above the roof of this Volvo.

A bit ago I did a photography series of folks biking around Denver for transportation. There are many aspects of this project I love, I might repost a few www.andrewalger.com/denver-bicyc...

Paris has focused on alternative transportation and it is paying off! Bikes, transit, walking! Hey Denver, want to remove the brown cloud?
Es alucinante cómo ha bajado la contaminación en París en 15 años. Anne Hidalgo lo ha llenado todo de carriles bici y no sólo ha reducido la contaminación en un 40%, sino que ha sido reelegida.

Apple just updated their fitness app and now I realize I am 85 miles short of 1,000 active transportation bike miles for the year. Time to schedule some longer errands and see if I can get there!

“Switzerland banned all motor racing, period, a restriction that endured until 2018.” Wow!
Racing’s Deadliest Day. After the 1955 Le Mans disaster, “it would be another 40 years before Mercedes got back into racing”. (In the meantime, they pioneered “anti-lock brakes, anti-collision radar systems, and other consumer safety technologies”.) [essesmag.com]

Here's how many Swiss trains (excluding the 18 local tram lines) serve a metro population the size of Providence's in three hours midday:

There are 40 metro areas in the USA bigger than Zürich's.

Dispatch from the E Line this morning:

- the advertising on the window won’t let me show you how satisfying it is to fly by traffic on I-25.

- a man just gave up his seat for a lady and she handed him a friendship bracelet.

Sometimes public transit rocks.
