The Dutch cycle more than nearly every other country in the world.
But interestingly, the level of car ownership in the Netherlands is on par with that of Canada.
Good cycling isn’t about being anti-car. It’s about giving drivers and all others good, safe options getting around.

Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint
If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

At several locations across the city where bike bus routes cross busy intersections, the Portland Bureau of Transportation has programmed traffic signals with a custom, bike bus-friendly timing plan that is activated by a longer push of the beg button.

"Separated bike lanes reduce collisions and save lives."
It's really that simple. The research is ample. But our leaders and, sadly, our neighbors have chosen to ignore all that to coddle drivers and protect parking. Deaths like those of John Corcoran and Minh-Thi Nguyen are policy choices.

Our loved ones died biking in Cambridge last year. Boston-area candidates need to follow the facts on bike lanes. - The Boston Globe
Some candidates are displaying a staggering lack of regard for people who cycle, victims of traffic violence, and everyone who cares about safer roads.

From a space for cars to a place for people — one of my favourite past client cities, Groningen Netherlands. Another powerful before-&-after transformation 1960s vs 2021.
In recent years one of the city’s biggest challenges has been where to park all the bikes.
Seriously.
A good problem to have.

A great thing about ebikes is that they turn non-cyclists into cyclists.
I think people have yet to wake up to just how amazing e-bikes are. I commute about 20 miles a day, using about 10 cents of electricity. (Mostly on safe trails.)
Every time I ride my brain is ecstatic. I get a workout, but don’t need to shower when I get to work.

According to some experts, ebike libraries serve two purposes: to expose potential buyers to the advantages of ebikes through a real-world test ride & to provide access to free transportation in or near lower-income communities.

Can’t Afford an Ebike? Borrow One for Free From a Lending Library
Programs that let people borrow an ebike for a few days at a time are blooming around the US. They’re convenient for all, but they also provide free transport for those priced out of bike ownership.
