I picked up my 1st ever ebike the Sunday before Thanksgiving & immediately rode it 13 miles home (in protected bike lanes most of the way!) & up hills middle-aged, out-of-shape me could never get up on a regular bike. This ebike has been life changing.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath
Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Urbanized
The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.

Hadn’t seen this one before. The good news is that we have many smart solutions to address the surrendering of cities to cars that don’t involve tire spikes. But they DO involve actual political will, strengthened by public understanding of the serious need to act. Via @xkcd.com

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

As I discussed in the interview, these are the 5 STEPS TO MAKING BETTER CITIES I’ve been using for many years, and eventually wrote about in @fastcompany.com. Too many cities are stuck in Step 2 (doing the wrong things better), and have to really be careful in Step 4 (doing the right things badly).

Extra post: today marks exactly ten years since Utrecht reopened its canal, replacing a road that had once taken its place. I made a video to mark the anniversary.
Extra Post: Ten Years of Utrecht’s Returned Canal
On this day, 18 December 2015, the alderman responsible for the reconstruction of Utrecht’s Station Area invited two young girls to press a button. They started a fountain in the newly restored canal, which had been completed and filled with water just two days earlier. I have written extensively about this Canal–Road–Canal project in the past, but to mark its tenth anniversary I decided to make an additional video — one that largely speaks for itself.
