The passing of a policy legend and a true inspiration. Donald Shoup showed how one person with dogged determination can kickstart a movement that radically shifts perspectives on the world around us and the policy that creates it. RIP
I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

The Dutch language differentiates between sport and transport cycling: “running with wheels” versus walking with them.
The vast majority of cyclists are "fietsers"; riding upright in normal clothes, at a moderate pace, without safety gear—representing a more accessible, casual, and inclusive style.

So much of how we design our roads isn't about traffic engineers hating people outside cars; it's about how engineers operate within a system of obscure government rules and terminology that incentivize them to build for drivers' safety first. Quick🧵...
