I think it is time to remove Twitter/X/whatever this is from my phone. I've met some really great people here over the course of 15 years, and I hope to see many of you over on Threads.
Find me there at threads.net/@james_c_thomas

My post yesterday morning on Threads got well over 500 likes and 35 replies so far. Even though I have many more followers here, It's been a very long time since I've seen that type of engagement on Twitter. Hopefully more people from #biketwitter will make the switch.

I would love to see a trend toward "car-lite" development like this here in the U.S.

If you want to upload to #Strava without #GarminConnect, plug your Garmin into a computer w/ the USB cable, & copy the .fit file from the activities folder. Then go to Strava, click the plus in the top right corner, choose upload activity, and click file on the left. #garmindown

Bosch has unveiled a new concept for a futuristic full-suspension on and off-road electric bike. (Rear shock is hidden in the tubing, the release says.)

During our International Cargo Bike Meetup today, we announced the launch of the ICBF 2020 Magazine.
Normally we print these and hand them out at the festival, but that's not possible this year. So we're making it available online.

The bicycle as a "new way of organizing society, away from society as a machine, and towards society as a social entity.." Dr. Marco the Brömmelstroet @fietsprofessor is dropping the mic over and over in his opening talk right now. #DigitalWorldBike
Starts soon with a talk by Marco to Brömmelstroet, @fietsprofessor, about language in mobility. This was planned pre-COVID-10, so it'll be very interesting to hear if/how people tie into current worldwide mobility issues & how to cycling as a transformative multi-angled solution.

Santo: If you plan a city for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic; if you plan a city for people and places, you get people and places.

To end his talk, Santo said that the best way to start is to RIDE A BICYCLE. We certainly agree with that 🚲 | Note: Of course during ECQ please ensure to follow govt regulations re: riding bikes and pls practice social distancing!

"Do I think that cars have a future in inner cities in 2040? No, I don't!" Me neither! Well said @saskiakluit 🙌 this is the vision we need for urban space and we should start to implement it right away! #streetsforpeople #digitalworldbike @DigiWorldBike

How the oil crisis in the 1970s led to an increase in cycling in 🇳🇱 @saskiakluit explains how the current #corona situation could follow this: bicycle industry has better products, civil society created so much more pressure on politicians @DigiWorldBike #digitalworldbike

With a modest reduction in car ownership in a city you end up with a large about of extra spending power by the people who now don’t have car expenses to pay. This might be spent in the local economy. #DigitalWorldBike

Luckily, you won't need to decide or find a way to clone yourself! #DigitalWorldBike will remain accessible #ondemand after the event has ended. So visitors will be able to take their time and watch all keynotes at their own pace over the next 4 weeks! #FutureOfCycling 🚴♀️
Tough decision for the next @DigiWorldBike session. Trying to decide between these two talks.

For the myriad positive effects of cycling, we often ignore the most basic one:
It enables virtually everyone to convey themselves from door to door, without worrying about filling the gas tank, checking the bus schedule, or calling a taxi.
A cycling city is an autonomous city. – at Delft, Nederland
