New road safety study: Motor vehicle drivers break road rules at much higher rates than cyclists. Safe bike infrastructure and policies encourage yield improved rule-following for all road users. #safestreets
“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

‘It’s the best feeling’: how Copenhagen gave cyclists a green wave. “Traffic lights are synchronised so a rush-hour cyclist at 20km/h can catch green lights all the way.” If you want people to choose not to drive, make the non-driving trip better & easier for them. It’s as simple as that, really.
NO TO THE NINE. #vote 🇨🇦
Alberta, please get in line to vote and stay in line to vote until every possible vote to keep Alberta and Canada strong are cast. Vote like the success of the country and the province depend on it, because they do. Vote to prevent our own Brexit or Trump, because that’s what it would be. VOTE.

Steven Rattner illustrates the mess we're in: US healthcare is broken. Yale data shows universal care saves $1T and 114K lives annually by cutting corporate waste. 1 in 4 US adults carry medical debt while this admin uses tax dollars to bankroll golf courses and personal enrichment. m.yale.edu/dmfs

I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

I want my leaders to be happy warriors.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor Anne Hidalgo, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’” #Paris

I spoke to NBC about how media coverage of the Cornell case has impacted survivors. The big takeaway? This could be a moment that hurts a lot of people or heals a lot of people, depending on whether these stories result in systemic change.
