Bicycle parking is not a problem. Actually, it is an essential part of the solution!

Thanks so much to @EricsRambles for finding this great graphic I put together 2 years ago. Haven't been able to locate it for quite some time to fulfill requests.
Downloaded it. Sent it to 3 people who asked for it. Anyone else feel free to use it! A good one! @StreetsblogNYC

Helmets can have a part to play, but bicycle safety is largely dependent on having a proper safety system and safe infrastructure.

Make it easy for tons of people to ride bikes, and tons of people will choose to ride bikes.
e.g. transformation in Paris

âWe could never do THAT in OUR city!â
Leadership doesnât make excuses. Via our Urban Truth Collective. #UrbanTruth
For decades Iâve been talking about what I call âthe 8 most unhelpful words in the English language â we could never do THAT in OUR city!â Itâs critically important for us to call out the difference between energy and excuse. The Urban Truth Collective will be doing an ongoing series showing inspiring city action that we SHOULDNâT BE MAKING ANY EXCUSES ABOUT. urbantruthcollective.com/conâŚ

Copenhagen puts all UK cities to shame.
A Copenaghen il 62% dei residenti usa la bici per gli spostamenti quotidiani. La percentuale è cosÏ alta perchÊ la citta ha 400 km di piste ciclabili separate, ben mantenute e spesso con priorità per i ciclisti.

We need to stop building communities as if everyone was 30 years old and athletic.
We must create AAA cities: for All Ages & Abilities.
E-tricycles are a great mobility option for many who don't feel safe on a bicycle.
Enjoyed seeing these when working in PEI. Olders having fun.

It's the neighbourhood, stupid! Thatâs where community happens. What if we applied Irelandâs policy stack to a single street?
Youâd get less space for cars and more for people. Safer walking. Better public transport. Greenery woven in. More reasons to stop, chat, belong. Policy only matters if it shows up on your street.

âGas prices? What gas prices?â
Even without illegal wars, the thing about car dependency is that once youâre dependent, they can do whatever they want with the prices.
Real freedom is choices. Better cities create choices. Graphic via Urban Truth Collective: urbantruthcollective.com/

Imagine if we invested even just 1% as much in bike infrastructure as we do in cars.

âA cityâs creativity doesnât depend on cars. Thatâs the 20th century. Weâre in the 21st.ââ Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
No matter what happens in the Paris election, the worldâs cities owe Mayor Hidalgo a huge debt of gratitude.
The boldest, most inspiring mayor Iâve seen.

Outgoing Mayor Anne Hidalgo championed a car-free agenda, leaving Paris greener, cleaner and better for walking and biking. Take a journey through the city to see how it's changed. Read more: bloom.bg/4slsxRs

A reminder that Mayor Anne Hidalgo will go down as one of the most consequential mayors of the modern time: a mayor who literally built 600 miles of bike lanes and made hundreds of streets car free in her 12 years as Paris mayor. Bravo.
