Good example that if you build better cycling infra, then people will use it
Another year of record-setting cycling ridership over NYC DOT's East River bridges, a major metric for city cycling levels. NYC DOT published new ridership data this morning here: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/htm...

California should redirect some funds from the state’s highway spending and instead put that towards better transit, and wouldn’t need to rely on the federal government for this. “One more lane” isn’t fixing our transportation challenges, we could make more productive use of our funds.
Elon Musk has long hated public transit, which he thinks carries a bunch of “serial killers.” He instead wants everyone to drive a car (preferably a Tesla).
Now he has actual government power & is trying to kill off California’s high speed rail project. It’s called killing off the competition. 🧵

Rail trails make some fantastic bike corridors, I grew up riding these and they got me into biking.
Rails-to-trails paths can transform cities, turning former train corridors into utilitarian bike highways. If you're fortunate to have one cutting through your city, it becomes a peaceful, efficient route for errands, shielding you from the chaos cars bring to urban life.
