There are many versions of this image out there. The good ones illustrate why “better cars” will never be more than part of the answer, and actually help “lock in” the #CarDependency that’s the real problem. They also show why status-quo interests want to focus on the vehicles.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Remember: your aim in business is to achieve some semblance of "monopoly."
Monopoly is the ability to set prices. This happens when you've created unique value.
"Monopoly" sounds like a bad word. But Peter Thiel explains why it's not what you think:

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally AGAINST downtown bike-lanes, later became one of their most vigourous supporters, because of EVIDENCE that bike-lanes are better for downtown business than any street parking they replace.

“Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity." - Lewis Mumford way back in 1955. Arguably the most important quote in city-building. READ my past @planetizen post.

The bank of the Seine in Paris. This used to be surrendered space for cars. For several years now it’s been a special place for people. All it took was leadership. Including fighting and winning a court battle when that leadership was challenged. HT @EmmanuelSPV for the great pic

Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. This is very recent. It wasn’t magic. It just took leadership. Your city could choose leadership too.

Reflecting on a fantastic few days in New York last week for St Patrick’s Week! ☘
It started off with a Cyber-RegTech roundtable facilitated by @Entirl. The week rounded out with the @IrishFunds Seminar which was a great overview of topics dominating funds internationally🤝

The Dutch ride bikes for transportation around cities so much, the resulting air pollution & CO2 emissions savings are the equivalent of planting 54 million trees a year. Air pollution is estimated to cause 3.7 million premature deaths each year. Via @WEF.
