Trump is trying to force the EU to legalize US car bloat, and European safety leaders are furious:

"Europe now risks being flooded with oversized, under-regulated U.S. pick-up trucks and SUVs – vehicles that are...completely out of step with Europe’s vision for safer, more sustainable mobility."
ETSC: Mutual Recognition Deal with U.S. Will Cost Lives on Europe’s Roads
By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…

Voor de herinrichting van het einde van de #A12 tot stadsboulevard heeft #Brussel #Mobiliteit op 12 en 13 augustus een voetgangers- en fietsersbrug geplaatst aan de Dikke Linde-rotonde. Deze brug is een belangrijke schakel voor de inrichting van een snelle en veilige fietsroute.

Toen ik dagelijks 14km x 2 naar Antwerpen fietstpendelde had ik één, opeens kuiten, en twee, was ik vijf kilo kwijt op enkele maanden. Met een elektrische fiets. No way had ik die 28 gedaan met een analoge fiets. Deze 50er geraakt niet zonder grote frustratie de viaducten over.

At a big active travel conference in York, Chris Whitty is explaining how amazing physical activity is for health, and how it needs to be built into everyday life. Those who benefit most are those who currently do nothing, followed by those who do little, he says.

Interesting-looking new study finding increased electoral support for the party that introduced Superblocks in areas where they were implemented + no electoral backlash in areas with school streets and bike lane expansions doi.org/10.1016/j.ci...

🚲 A PNAS study of 11,500+ cities shows density & bike lanes boost walking & cycling, offering huge climate & health benefits. While European cities lead, Osaka's 'slow streets' model offers another path to success:

Cycling isn’t just good for your health – It’s good for the planet, our cities, and the economy.

✔️ Over 92,000 km of EuroVelo cycling routes across Europe
✔️ Nearly 10 million bicycles produced yearly in the EU
✔️ 1.35 million jobs supported by the EU cycling sector
Stylised map of Europe formed by colorful interconnected cycling routes, representing all the EuroVelo routes across Europe. Three bicycle icons are placed across the map. The text reads: 'Two wheels. One Europe. Endless possibilities.' A logo of the European Commission is shown in the bottom right corner.

The logo of the World Bicycle Day show 5 cartoon like cyclists, adults and children cycling on top of a world globe. The globe has spokes and resembles a bicycle wheel. An elegant female figurine made only of PASTA strings riding a bicycle in a city street lined with trees. Her hair and dress are made of longer spaghetti strings .

More seriously, here's the science: "Daily mobility-related life cycle CO2 emissions were 3.2 kgCO2 per person, with car travel contributing 70% and cycling 1%. Cyclists had 84% lower life cycle CO2 emissions than non-cyclists." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable form of personal transport. Yet its net effects on mobility-relate…
