For the first time ever, bikes outnumbered cars on a Scottish rush-hour route! 🚲👏 Safer streets, cleaner air — proof change happens when cities choose it. #CleanAirMoms #Bikes www.goodnewsnetwork.org/bikes-outnum...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch and share this excellent news story. Ford LIES that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Remember and share this as Ford tears out Toronto bike-lanes.

OP-ED: “Removing Toronto's bike lanes puts children's health at risk.” Actually, well documented evidence shows that EVERYONE is put at risk. And it costs EVERYONE. “The Ford government decision to tear up bike-lanes is bad for kids, families, cyclists, drivers, taxpayers & the planet.” And more.

Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Oddly not a particularly green outcome supporting car delivery
Last year, my office secured nearly $17 million from DoorDash after they cheated delivery workers out of their hard-earned pay. I'm proud to see @mayor.nyc.gov has secured this major win from DoorDash for underpaid delivery workers in New York City.

Hope they work hard to get voters out voting.
Nate Silver’s Senate forecast just moved sharply toward Democrats: 🔵 56.5% chance of winning Senate control, up from 51.1% at start of week. Texas: Talarico +2 to +5 Ohio: Brown +4 Michigan: El-Sayed +2.9 Dems are running +8 on likely-voter-adjusted generic ballot. Political winds are shifting.

And how many cars have hit his car? Odds are WAY HIGHER they’ve been in more than one accident (statistically). Blaming one rider is a bit of a canard.
What is this "irresponsible cycling community" and who issues the membership cards? Is there a community of irresponsible drivers? No one is disputing that it's annoying and sometimes dangerous for a cyclist to ride on a sidewalk. What people are taking issue with is collective blame.

Cyclists were the primary force behind organized political pressure for better, paved roads before the arrival of cars and drivers. Drivers now think they own the road and oppose safe infrastructure for all other road users. What if tanks started using roads and were crushing cars and people?
