“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife in #CurbingTraffic

Remember this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, is linked to better creative & intellectual performance. Among MANY other benefits to you and to society.
Design #walkablecities.

Incredible snapshot of upper-middle-class college anxiety.
Elite colleges have affirmative action for the very, very rich. Lower income students, who are less likely to apply, have a small advantage.
This cashes out as a clear bias against upper-middle class applicants.

How are YOU getting to school tomorrow? It's National Bike to School Day! So grab your wheels and bike, roll, or walk to school. We'll keep the celebration going all month long: watch out for new bikes, helmet fittings, crosswalk murals, special events! #bikerolltoschoolday2023

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 16-7. They have won seven consecutive games with a run differential of 45-15.
Yes, those games were against Colorado and Cincinnati. They are still victories. And while this may not be sustainable, they have the third-best record in baseball right now.

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.

Randy Arozarena celebrating a home run with a stroopwafel is the best thing I’ve seen today.
(Second-best is Jeffrey Springs. He’s thrown five shutout innings with 10 strikeouts and the only blemish on his line so far is a walk. He’s going to have a very, very big year.)

The Florida Legislature's permitless carry bill is deeply unpopular with Floridians, according to a poll released today by the University of North Florida. 67% strongly oppose permitless carry.

BREAKING: Michael Moore just called for a nationwide Walgreens boycott and Gavin Newsom just said that California will no longer do business with Walgreens after they decided to stop selling the abortion pill in GOP states. If all Democrats in America decided to instead shop at CVS, Walmart, Target, and Costco, Walgreens might just change their mind.
And I don't want to hear any Republicans attacking me for "cancel culture." Walgreens literally just cancelled women's rights.

We urge @CityofTampa Mayor @JaneCastor to dedicate its impressive (& needed) new #SS4A funds to REAL systems-change in how the city's roads are designed & used. It's time for transformation: visionzeronetwork.org/praise…

In 2019, there were 18,142 flights and 2,836,474 passengers that flew between Atlanta and Orlando (400 miles). If a French TGV train connected both cities, it would take about 3 hours. If the train ran hourly, it would have the capacity to move 8.5 million ppl a year (300% more).
