People of Mastodon!

I'm researching the growth of ebikes ...

... in cities around the US

I've talked to many people who love them!

But also want to include the perspective of folks who have concerns ...

... i.e. about the speed and weight of ebikes in accidents with pedestrians or other cyclists, and the like

If anyone has thoughts they wanna share, ping me! I'm all ears: clive@clivethompson.net

Pass this along if you know anyone else with perspective they want to share

@clive If you are writing about ebikes I'm sure you know that outsell non-ebikes in The Netherlands. In 2022, 486,000 of 855,000 new bikes sold were electric: hundreds of thousands of cargo delivery bikes, family bikes, and everyday get-around-the-city bikes.

If ebikes make sense to people using flat, safe roads, surely they make even more sense to use on the hilly, car-clogged streets in the rest of the world.

Great Big Bollards: A Manifesto

A modest proposal for keeping people outside of alive by Dan Marshall @streetsmn

"I’d start with installing Great Big at all bus shelters. The fact that we don’t protect shelters tells us everything we need to know about modern American morality... Streetlights, signs and stoplights are all built w breakaway bolts to protect drivers and minimize vehicle damage when hit"

I've been biking them for 2 years and just learned a new word -- and a new program. H/T @modacitylife

Doorfietsroutes, thru bike paths, are smoothly aligned regional connectors between cities. Fun for tourists. Essential for adaptation.

Regional requires incredibly hard political and engineering cooperation.

Province already has 150km (93m) of a planned 1500km system. built 146km just in 2023.

What kinds of roads we choose to build (and for whom we build them) is relevant to creating a future we can thrive in.

Back in the , Metro planner Robert Spurlock calculated a complete linked 1,000 MILE network of low-impact regional walk/bike trails would cost $500M. That's half the cost of expanding a mile of I-5 freeway. Admittedly that's just for 3-meter ribbons of asphalt, not beautiful Dutch fietspad with complex crossings and community input.

But we have to make choices now.

Most people in the learn to as small children.

But more than 6,000 older learn to bike here every year.

This beautiful video shows how.

De meeste mensen in Nederland leren fietsen als kleine kinderen.

Maar ook jaarlijks leren ruim 6.000 oudere allochtone vrouwen fietsen.

Deze prachtige video laat zien hoe.
