Last night a car hit and killed @natenom , a German bicycle activist who was a passionate advocate for road safety. https://www.tellerreport.com/life/2024-01-31-baden-w%C3%BCrttemberg--cycling-activist-apparently-dies-in-a-traffic-accident.ry_GQH1_qp.html
The German (speaking) cycling community has been mourning #Natenom since we received the dreadful news this morning. This site shows the locations of some of us who logged into the app "Critical Map" tonight in honour and memory of Natenom.🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

My friend Jiggy Fetil just posted this on facebook.
It was so good I thought I should share. (Original from 'Movement': https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9781911344971) #transport #cycling #traffic #urbanism
Movement
Our dependence on cars is damaging our health - and the planet's. Movement asks radical questions about how we approach the biggest urban problem, reflecting onblackwells.co.uk
"I asked a group of Helsinki officials what role information technology has played in their success reducing crashes in recent years. 'Zero,' replied Palomaki. 'We simply slowed down the cars.'"
Finland also investigates fatal car crashes similarly to how we investigate plane crashes.

How Finland Put Traffic Crashes on Ice
The Nordic nation’s rate of vehicle fatalities is a fraction of the toll in the US, despite a harsh climate and ice-covered streets. Here’s how the Finns do traffic safety.David Zipper (Bloomberg)
Cyclists represent 40% of traffic during peak hours and 27% of traffic throughout the day.
Since 1999, the number of motorists has dropped 64% and the number of cyclists has increased 386%.

Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists In City Of London
At peak times, people cycling represent 40% of road traffic in the City and 27% throughout the day.Carlton Reid (Forbes)
The result? A cycle #tourism industry worth €2.4 billion annually to the national economy.

Why might you want to do this? With your own up-to-date, highly detailed point clouds and imagery you could:
- quantify and communicate inefficient road space allocation
- record necessary infrastructure repairs
- take measurements such as lane and cycleway widths
- measure footpath obstructions in 3D and rate pedestrian amenity
- map kerb features on OpenStreetMap
- survey street parking using the new OSM spec: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Street_parking
- 3D print a model of your home street!

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!

Am always interested in what cycling service infrastructure is available elsewhere, so if you have something: share it here!
