I’d like to share a recommendation on a very simple lighting upgrade to your bike. Especially those with Cargo Bikes the large frames!
These lights rule. The upgraded version of what’s on my bike.

Christmas Tree by bakfiets 🎄🚲 First weekend of our advent calendar always includes getting a tree from the nearby Scout lot. This was our first year doing it by bike. I hope the xc skiers enjoyed watching us ride along while A held a 6ft Christmas tree in the box. #yycbike

Copenhagen's train station is as enchanting outside as in. This open courtyard lets you see how tracks disappearing below the station, which is set above through-running tracks. You can see trains coming and going, and how they travel under the two roads flanking the courtyard.

I came across *the* example I have been hammering with these food delivery robots.
A man with a mobility aid is forced to step aside because there is not room for him because the robot will not make room for a person (esp. those with a mobility aid who need addditional room)

If you want to know who your city is actually built for, wait for it to snow. The machines get a heated red carpet. The humans get a frozen obstacle course.
This was a choice, not by the person walking but by the decision makers who refuse to prioritize them.
