This really is an exceptional video and provides a huge service to the urban biking conversation around the world, and particularly here in North America and places like Australia/New Zealand. The length may scare you a bit, but if you really want to understand, it’s worth it.

I even have a cameo.
WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

I’ve advised Helsinki, Finland a few times in the past, and among the many conversations I’ve had with the Finns, we’ve talked about what it’s like to live right next to an aggressive dictatorship like Russia.

I’m not the first one to say it, but Canada needs to be vigorously learning from Finland.
