The longest Citi Bike ride in each month of 2025!
One of these rides cost nearly $100. New York City should be incentivizing bike share — not making it more expensive than than any other way of getting around.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

also noise pollution in the U.S. is almost entirely from cars and it’s literally giving people heart attacks

Now that the streets are in better shape and the melt has revealed #freshKermit I’m certainly preferring the snow-protected #bikenyc lanes over the parking protected!
For one: it keeps the idiots & cranks from parking in them! 😀

Take a tour of the new cycle parking below Berlin's Potsdamer Platz.
Designed for utility, sport, electric and cargo bikes, it enables a smooth transition to public transport, while taking a disused and uncomfortable private retail corridor and reimagining it as a safe and inviting community space.
After explaining how teen driving is dangerous and expensive, the solution presented is not for the parents to advocate for making car-free transportation alternatives more available but to push the young people to drive by making them overcome their fears.
Just published a short to draw attention to last week's long video about cycling rules in the Netherlands.

Very excited to say that the stars have aligned and NYU Marron/Transit Costs Project have landed a grant that will fund a second edition of Momentum, which will apply the high-throughput framework to major regional rail networks beyond the NY area.

A 10 mph speed limit for e-bikes in Florida? It feels like a competition for which state can pass the stupidest e-bike laws. (New Jersey is winning that competition right now of course.) A total 'satanic panic'-style mass hysteria against e-bikes.

I never use food delivery apps because I know how they’re ripping off and undermining the life of the restaurants I love that are creating the real value to our cities, communities and streets. @lastweektonight.com covered it.
In 1915 experts in law and in municipal engineering agreed with the Chicago Surface Lines:
Streets are a public resource regulated in the public interest – the greatest good to the greatest number.
By this standard, everyone else took precedence over motorists driving personal automobiles. ...
You rarely see a bike ride interview done like this.

The insistence of 2 bridges seems to follow trend of any new major bridge built in the NYC metro area in recent times being 2 separate bridges: Goethals, Kosciuszko, Tappan Zee (Cuomo).
