It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion.
Car dependency, dumb land-use sprawl, too many (& bigger) cars being driven too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion.
Think about it. THAT’S common sense.

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world.
The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

In calling out Cuomo for only visiting a mosque AFTER he lost to a Muslim candidate, Mamdani perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with Centrist Dems. They are:

•Out of touch

A better world is possible
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Just the start.

Actual experts who know what they’re talking about know that smart bike-lanes for people on e-bikes or any other bikes aren’t “subsidized.” They have excellent returns-on-investment, support economic development, save public money, etc.

Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it.
Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.
