Car dependency is destroying our health and our planet. If you use a bike for transportation, you believe in a better world!

I get really annoyed when people argue that recreation/bike tourism is not a legitimate reason for infrastructure. How many roads do we have in this country that are just for access to beaches, ski resorts, or theme parks?
If drivers aren't given not just access, but redundant and convenient access to every sq inch of the country they flip out
Meanwhile for pedestrians and cyclists it's like "do they really need to cross this body of water? do they really need the freedom to go there? they might do it for recreation!

When people talk about creating generational wealth, what they are talking about is UBI for those in the lucky birth club. You know, the people that were born into that special class that never have to worry about money.
I have strong feelings that these lucky few should not exist.

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world.

Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom.
Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?”
Choices.
Choices are more free than car dependency.
It’s not a hard concept.
I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport.
I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

There is a better way to travel between major US cities. It's not that we can't build high speed rail here... It's been a deliberate choice of political will, car industry lobbying and regulatory hurdles designed to make it seem impossible... But it is indeed a choice.

What if the United States had high-speed rail?
High-speed rail is a proven alternative to gridlocked highways and overcrowded airports. CNN has reimagined a faster, more connected future for US commuters.
