So, a collegue of mine spent 90 days cycling through the USA, from East to West. He tells Americans hate cyclists (all Dutch folks/for that matter) because they consider them to be 'left'. They even seem to have a tailpipe soot button to annoy them if they don't have an Americans flag on display somewhere on the bike.
WUT?

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

This actually isn’t surprising at all, but it still needs to said over & over — the biggest barrier to more urban biking in cities is the fear of cars.

“A study confirms that if we are serious about getting people on bikes, they need a safe place to ride.”

Remember this? A simple, creative way to make the really important point about the need for child-safe, all-ages & abilities PROTECTED bike-paths. Paint isn’t safe infrastructure, any more than stuffed animals are — if you wouldn’t let your kids ride in it, it isn’t safe, Period. #Berlin via @umwerfer.

There's bike infrastructure, and then there’s Dutch bike infrastructure.

Kia ora toot friends. (Hello in Māori language)
Tonight I am bringing some #transport, #bikes, #cycling, #urbanism and #antiCar #memes.
I hope you enjoy them and are radicalised like I am. Once you start seeing how we've been trapped by #carDependency you cannot unsee it again.
Let's fight for space for people, cities that are walkable, accesible, clean, green and safe.
Of course, please contribute your own memes to the thread and also radicalise your family, workmates and friends!
