“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.
One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Een straat in Amsterdam, met #karrenspoor.🌱 Stel je voor als alle kleine woonstraten er zo uitzien.🤩

Bereikbaar, autoluw. Af en toe een passeerstrook erin. Goed begaanbaar voor voetgangers en fietsers. Perfect voor een fijne, trage en mooie straat!

“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 and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Vienna’s “Car Bet”: From May to July, households gave up their private cars in exchange for a monthly €500 mobility budget. Result: 2/3 realized they don’t need a car many sold theirs, choosing public transport, carsharing & more. More space, less traffic, better life.

Zürich eröffnet heute am Hbf. ein wahres Prestigeprojekt! Ein fürs Auto geplanter Tunnel wurde in einen 440m langen Fahrradtunnel umgebaut. Auch ein Parkhaus mit 1240 Stellplätzen gibt es & ist 48h kostenfrei. 40 Mio.€ hat der Umbau gekostet - ein Signal welche Priorität das Velo in Zürich genießt❤️

I stand with Ukraine

Proud to live in a country (the Netherlands) that unconditionally supports Ukraine.

Europe needs to re-arm, to support Ukraine and defend itself and democracy.

Ukraine is the one defending Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine should be part of the EU.
