Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Wales’ 20mph speed limit is delivering incredible results:

✅ 100 fewer deaths/serious injuries on 20 & 30mph roads
✅ 35% drop in road casualties (Jul–Sep 2024 vs. same period in 2023)
✅ Lowest casualty rate for this period since 1979

The data is clear: slower speeds save lives.

On This Day in 1978:

I married my dental hygienist, Marilou York.

She cleaned my teeth & the rest... is history.

#HappyAnniversary2TheLoveOfMyLife. ❤️ 🎆 🙏
I’m starting to think there’s a Venn diagram somewhere where ‘hates cyclists’, ‘loves football’, and ‘drives a taxi’ is just one big circle. Can Bluesky and Facebook add a filter for this? I’d like my timeline free of ‘road tax’ rants and questionable opinions on cycling safety, thanks.
It was just the dramatic change from the last time I was there just a year ago… and it wasn’t good then.
3. Encourage or organise a car-free day in your community. Work with local businesses and councils to temporarily pedestrianise streets, showing how much better urban spaces can be without cars. A powerful way to inspire change! #CarFreeDay #ReclaimTheStreets
2. Join or start a local cycling group to campaign for better bike infrastructure. Strength in numbers shows councils there’s real demand for safe, accessible cycle lanes. Push for change and build a community at the same time! #ActiveTravel #UrbanSolutions
How to reduce car chaos - a short thread: Advocate for school streets - temporary car-free zones around schools during drop-off and pick-up times. Reduce congestion, improve air quality, make it safer for kids to walk or cycle. Push your local council to act. #SustainableTransport #UrbanSolutions

One way of looking at the bike lane “debate” and the anti factual policy by the ON gov.

How many times have I almost been killed by a driver on Ontario streets walking or cycling? Many

How many times have I almost been killed by a cyclist or pedestrian as a driver? Zero

I’ve finally started getting into e-bikes and if I may, let’s destroy all cars, built an elaborate network of bike paths, and connect every town and city by high speed rail.
What can towns/cities do urgently to tackle car chaos? Cycle lanes, public transport, car-free zones, incentives for walking or cycling? We need urgent, practical action to reclaim the streets for people and reduce car dependence. What are your ideas? #Leeds #SustainableTransport #UrbanSolutions
After a year away, I’m shocked by how Leeds has been overrun by cars. Roads gridlocked, pavements blocked, and congestion everywhere you look. The sheer volume of vehicles is strangling the city and its surroundings. How did we let it get this bad? #Leeds #TooManyCars #UrbanChaos
