I cycle 99% of the time because it’s fun, efficient and doesn’t turn me into a rage monster.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

People would be much healthier if they spent at least an hour walking per day.
Neighborhoods should be designed to accommodate that.

10 watermelon, 8kg of bananas, 6 broccoli, half a cabbage and 3 trays of eggs all on sale at local vege stores and easily fit on my cargo bike.
I’ll admit, keeping the watermelon and eggs separate was tricky but I kept them all intact.

I think everyone should have the opportunity to grocery shop on a bike.
I swung by 3 shops, smiled at a few people, rode through a park and under some trees and parking was really easy.
Biking for everyday errands feels more like an adventure than a chore.

‘But I need a car because it’s school holidays and I have shopping to do’.
What we need are walkable communities.
The only difficulty about my outing today was navigating the lack of bike lanes that go to places you actually need to go to.

So much is possible whilst taking up so little space.
Found a great deal on bananas too good to pass by.
These bikes make quick, spontaneous shopping so easy.
