Our beloved kids’ school, #ManhattanCountrySchool, which runs Manhattan’s only #BikeBus, needs urgent help!

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference in keeping the school running and ensuring our educators get paid.

Who cycles to IKEA? Lots of people - when there’s high-quality cycling infrastructure to get there and plenty of bike parking and E-bike charging points waiting for them!

The Upper West Side of Manhattan has about 10K parking spots, most of them free. That’s ~40 miles of parked cars in an area of just 2 sq mi. It’s a complete degradation of nearly all public space in the neighborhood. Just ask the kids who go to school on the street in this picture.

Contrary to popular belief it's possible to live somewhere without a driveway, without on-street parking and without direct access to automobiles

"But Amsterdam has always been anti-car!"

This is really important — For 60+ years, car advertising has programmed us to think driving is freedom, a symbol of status & power.

But a car marketing vet (@tomflood.bsky.social, u should follow him) is using his skills to call out car culture. #UrbanistShoutOut

“Every $1,300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”

Bike-lanes are a sound public health investment.
