New research shows that e-bikes reduce car usage by 19%, significantly reduce car trips of less than three miles and enhance autonomy for seniors and the elderly.
Cities need to be doing more to help people shift trips from cars to (e-)bikes, including e-bike incentive programs.

Highlights
• E-bikes can lead up to a 19% reduction in car mode share in dual-mode households.
• Increased car choice begins at 5 and 1.5 km for dual-vehicle and car-only owners.
• E-bikes encourage a greater variety of non-commuting activities for car-owners.
• E-bikes facilitate commuting, while also enhancing travel autonomy for the elderly.
By normalizing the status quo, the press impedes the transport transformation we require. In a new article, @cglachant and @FraukeBehrendt show how media coverage of micromobility tends to frame the mobility status quo as normal, thereby marginalizing newer micromobility modes.
Two recent studies from @TUeindhoven and @VerDuS_NL looked at the importance of mobility data and smart technologies and the importance of using this data for more cycling and walking in urban planning! 🚴♀️ 🚶♀️

"Tire pollution is such a nascent research field that we are only starting to understand its impact on wildlife and human health. Worryingly, such dangers could rise if consumers shift toward heavier, overpowered electric vehicles"

Hoe de nu zo geliefde ov-fiets – met veel moeite – het daglicht zag: ‘De NS wilde die hele fiets niet’ volkskrant.nl/ts-bfe880963 via @volkskrant Dankzij mijn promotie onderzoek en artikel daarover met Ruth @Oldenziel. Zaterdag ook in bijlage.

Paris now has 180 gorgeous ‘school streets.’ They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. No brainer, really.
