“But it makes no sense that we should be afraid of places where people can get most of what we need, closer by. Maybe our kids can even walk to the store! No walls, no guards…It’s just a normal, “common sense” place to live — as most cities used to be, before we mandated car dependency.” #UrbanTruth
Always hitting them out of the park Tom 🤣
This is the way.
Ugh. Another local bike shop closed. Buying online or at huge stores does NOT replace the community and wonderful one-on-one conversations about bikes and biking.
The old "Trust me bro" Guarantee!
New video out on the Broadway detour aka Vancouver's busiest shortcut, from our good friend @nicthedoor.bsky.social

Such a beautiful bike parkade! Proof that utility doesn't have to be sterile.
This has been a real pain for folks in Toronto. "Nobody bikes in winter, why should we clear the bike lanes"
My brother, nobody bikes in winter because you don't clear the bike lanes.
Great video by @nicthedoor.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN5m... on lessons we can learn from Nanaimo, Canada (pop 100k). The level crossings for sidewalks and bike lanes across side streets 👨🏻🍳💋!
If you ever get down to Seattle Nic give us a shout and we'll show you around!
One of my favourite Urbanist creators is BACK!

My goodness this is satisfying to watch!
Iowa politicians want to make cycling a lot harder. Threatening jail time for riding on sidewalks and roads with a 25mph+ limit.
Why are they like this...

Beautifully explains the opportunity of a regional bike share system in Metro Vancouver. 🚲🙌

The New GOATED bike lock?
Incredible work they've done. Thanks for documenting the results!
@techconnectify.bsky.social goes OFF.
Been a fan for a long time, Alec has always been based but the political comments at the back end of this video takes the cake 👏👏👏

I don't like a lot of what our premier in BC has been up to but I sure am glad he's called a spade a spade. Soliciting foreign powers to interfere in your politics is treason plain and simple.
London's Low traffic neighborhoods certainly have some ideas worth stealing 👀

Too real Tom...too real
Is there any place in NA that has done better? Maybe Montreal.
Afaik, if you're on a bike headed west, the only conflict would be southbound vehicles on Fir turning right on red to 10th.
While I'm not a big fan of diagonal crossings for cyclists, much welcome improvements coming to one of the busiest bike routes in Vancouver!

The Mayor said "sneckdown"!!!
Absolutely, my first medic job was to cover events. We used quads then but modern e-bikes are much more suitable for the task.
I’ve been working on this video with HUB Cycling since last summer and I’m incredibly excited to share it with you soon! It looks at the growing divide in how cities approach bikeshare and scootershare, and the messy history of how we got to this point.
Do you live in a city that doesn’t get covered that much by urbanist YouTube?
Or at least a city that *I* haven’t covered that much?
I’m trying to create a crowd-sourced footage archive to let urbanist YouTube cover more places!
Interested in: skylines, buses, trains, bikes, housing, etc.
This is how you keep people rolling all year long 👏
