Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.
The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

When people moan about traffic calming measures in central Brussels they’re essentially saying they have a right to drive their cars into neighbourhoods where most people don’t have them. Which is pretty arrogant when you think about it.
Updated map of #BXL car ownership:
2/3 of households in central Brussels don't own a🚘
Yet 3/4 of #publicspace privatised for 🚘-owning minority
May it serve as a reminder
for @RudiVervoort
& socialists🌹 @PSbruxellois

Every winter, fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets & roads for cars, making them faster & more dangerous, & how much space we could reclaim for people & public life. We call them #sneckdowns. GIF via @fietsprofessor #sneckdown

2022 and sections of the UK media still think it’s ok to print this misogynist, classist nonsense. It’s beyond embarrassing that editors signed this off, and it only makes some Tory MPs look like sniggering school boys who can’t handle being challenged by a woman
So I misread the ad for Marvel's latest film as "Cardigans of the Multiverse" and had a very different image in my head for a short while.
