“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

John Forester set back US street design and safe infrastructure by 30 years.
WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.
This is Why Cycling is Dangerous in America

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

My bike commuting origin story is that I didn’t want to spend my hard-earned $ to park my old car while I worked in downtown Denver, so I tried biking.
And here we are.
I guess what I’m saying is… saving $ on car parking is a slippery slope to safe streets advocacy.
Beware! 🚲🚶🏻🚌

Think public transit “doesn’t work” in your city or suburb? If that’s true, it wasn’t a foregone conclusion— it’s because of choices made. Land-use, funding, infrastructure & operational decisions. If u do fundamentals like frequency wrong, it fails.
Make good choices.

Companies marketing overpowered vehicles for racetracks are selling them to drivers unfit for public roads, causing daily death and destruction.
These products have no place on shared infrastructure and should be regulated out of marketplace existence.

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.
