READ THIS: How Amsterdam became the bicycle capital of the world. In the 1960s, Dutch cities saw cars as the transport of the future. It took the intolerable toll of child traffic deaths —and fierce activism— to turn #Amsterdam into the urban biking nirvana of today. It took vision and leadership.

I spend my week crossing london on a bike and increasingly that means cycling alongside Wayve/Waymo robotaxis. it’s uncomfortable. they give you so much space, don’t do a close pass while accelerating as lights go red. So unnerving if you cycle on assumption everyone’s mental and wants to kill you.

When the traffic engineer shows up to see how his painted bike gutter along a stroad is working out.

The difference.

"Once the car became the American way of life, we essentially morphed into a series of car companies with a minor country problem." A fantastic video on how cars took over and what we can do to get American biking again, via @climatetown.bsky.social

There's a bicycle behind those bananas.

If you’re ever lost in the wilderness, just build a cycle path because someone is bound to pull up in their car and park in it.

Bicycle Roller Racing was a thing for a while. This film is from 1945-46. "Records have been set up and smashed, but their biggest record is that no one's moved an inch yet."

Hello friends! We are making a push to get more cycling fans onto Radial (and Bluesky) during the Tour, partially by setting up an Instagram account to reach them where they are. It would be very helpful if you could give us a follow! www.instagram.com/radialprocyc...

You can now check the Tour while doing your groceries

Happy Father's Day, especially to the fathers who bike.

Some people will say this REI ad was AI generated. I choose to believe that they have finally embraced the power of “reach around bars,” and acknowledged the bourgeois redundancy of having two pedals.

Complex man hates bikes when he’s driving, hates cars when he’s biking

I love this & live by it. 💚🚲

Have you ever rode to a store, only to realize there’s nowhere to lock it up? Yeah. We’re fixing that. From suburban plazas, to apartment buildings, every ride deserves a safe place to end. We are the Bike Parking Alliance of Toronto (BPAT), and we’re just getting started.

Just met guy in Hope with a sign on his bike saying "83 years old and cycling across Canada. Ask me why." So I asked him why and he said "No reason." 😁 Lovely.

Now that's what I call service at a tap room at a station (Chester)

The Dutch mobility system isn't just built around cycling. It's built around bike-train intermodality: cycling solves the train's convenience problem and the train solves cycling's range problem. Together, they offer an attractive alternative to driving on a mass scale. WATCH: youtu.be/jq93DgLvmFc

Being against bike lanes is the number one red flag there’s deeper, darker views a person holds that we just don’t know about

Some heroes don't wear capes

Happy World Bicycle Day.

This is worth reading, for excellent communication & story-telling. “I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more. Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off...” #UrbanTruth From @irishtimes.com

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

The study found clear benefits from cycling: 100% of studies measuring social wellbeing reported positive effects, while 67% showed improvements in psychological wellbeing.

If you want the sweet juice of bike racing, Radial is now live on the iOS App Store! Download it here, and please be in touch to let us know how to make it better. We have a lot more planned 😎. This is really just the beginning apps.apple.com/us/app/radia...

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.
