After visiting the Netherlands recently I noticed an interesting phenomenon. It seems the Dutch don't wear bike helmets. I learned that under 1% of cyclists use helmets. I also learned that overall injuries to cyclists are way less than any place in the world, so what gives? From what I gathered, cyclists and drivers are more experienced and courteous and the roads are engineered to keep all road users. This includes bike infrastructure throughout the country.

New Bosch ebikes have more tech than your car

Our cities were designed for community, not just commuting. While cars have revolutionized travel, we may have over-deployed them, creating urban landscapes where the streets are more like highways and the air a bit less fresh. 🚲🚶‍♀️ It's not about ditching cars entirely; it's about finding balance. Rediscovering the joy of walking, biking, and connecting with our surroundings can lead to healthier, more vibrant communities. Let's rekindle the spirit of exploration and make room for all modes of transport to share the road harmoniously.

We're drowning in cars

Ever heard of the Idaho Stop? 🤔 It's a game-changer for cyclists, allowing us to roll through stop signs when it's safe. It's all about keeping the flow while staying aware of our surroundings. 🛑➡️🚲 The Idaho Stop reminds us that rules can evolve to fit the unique needs of cyclists. It's not about disregarding safety, but about finding that sweet spot between caution and momentum.

NEW Tern HSD Gen 2 eBike Review | The Swiss Army Knife of Bikes

Break the silence and question the norm. Why is it that in some corners of the world, we've come to accept the harsh reality that cars claim far too many lives and cause countless injuries? It's time for a change. 🌎✊🚦🚸 Let's take a lesson from places that have shown us a different path – a path paved with innovative infrastructure and policies like Vision Zero. In these places, they've demonstrated that it's possible to drastically reduce needless tragedies. We can't just sit back and let preventable accidents become statistics. We should be demanding safer streets for everyone. Let's champion pedestrian-friendly spaces, dedicated bike lanes, and intelligent urban planning. Let's push for a world where no life is considered expendable in the name of convenience.

Embrace Car-Free Urbanism

In America, our city streets oftentimes fall short when it comes to design, making crossing guards vital in safeguarding pedestrians from oncoming cars. But imagine a future where improved infrastructure eliminates this necessity. We can put our funds into building better streets and systems that are all around better for everyone. What are your thoughts on this?
