Sold the family car today. Our bicycles, a cargo trailer and public transport are now our main modes of getting around. Feels good! 🚲

When you tell someone who lives in the that you are it can really shock them. They simply can’t fathom how you do basic things like grocery shopping or deal with rain.

When you tell them you’ve paid no money in payments, or and ask them what it would mean if they received a check for all the money they spend on car related expenses something happens in their brain. Some begin to question things for the first time.

Modo is celebrating its 1,000th car-sharing vehicle (a new Hyundai Ionic EV) and 30,000th member.

I've been a member of Modo since 2006 and it's the reason I've never owned a personal car.

I've used Modo vehicles to haul furniture, access campgrounds around BC, and take road trips across Canada.

Hub Cycling is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The progress they've championed is really amazing.

Just compare the 1999 Vancouver cycling map with today. It now covers most of the city and also includes separated AAA routes.

A huge thanks to HUB's staff, volunteers, and 100,000 members for 25 years of progress.

And not just for infrastructure improvements, but also for education and advocacy.

Driver, who was going 45/50mph, almost hit the cyclist in front of me at Kezar Dr and GGP's entrance. The driver had no plans on stopping. I told them to slow down after the fact.

Fun times.

I should have it on my vid cam. Will post later.

Weniger Fahrspuren, mehr Radwege und Bäume. So geht städtische Verkehrsplanung im 21. Jahrhundert.

Looking for aspiration before and after photos, anyone got any faves? Or just your fave towns and cities that’ve made the switch.

It’s for a 5 minute photo-heavy Ignite talk I’m giving in a few weeks. Thanks for your help!

I'm interested in the levels of car ownership in the urbanist circles around here

How many cars does your household own?

Household here defined as the people you live with or in close proximity to that you'd be willing to share a car with.

If you're car free I'd love to hear about what makes it work for you!

This article really captures my experience traveling without a car in my city. We're not car free, but we have gone down to one car and I usually try to avoid using it when making trips by myself like commuting or meeting friends/coworkers somewhere.

This is part two of a 3 part series on a family going car free and their experience (good and bad)

💨 When you sell a car (even for an EV), your gas car gets re-sold and keeps on polluting and emitting.

🛞 Tires are the worst form of car pollution. They shed microplastics and toxins every day — which kill everything.

The only way to end the problems of cars, is to end cars.

Boost on Twitter too, so people know:

What if... street weren't just for cars? Transition Liverpool is showing what more space for community, greenery and art could do for their city after unveiling their first city centre parklet.

With high rates of air pollution and pedestrian accidents in their city, they worked with local designers and materials to make the modular pop-up structure that can be adapted to many spaces and uses.

It includes seating, planters for pollinator-loving plants and space for events, art or workshops, all in the size of a parking space.

In other cities, parklets have boosted local businesses, air quality and sense of community, and the sPark It project hopes this will be the first of many, with businesses, the council, charities and communities getting involved, and sparking conversation about how street space could be used.

Local architect Ross Neal, who volunteered as a designer on the project, said: “sPark It is all about community. The Transition team wanted to find creative ways to combat climate change, and in Liverpool that means tackling air pollution, making our streets safer for walking, wheeling and cycling, supporting small businesses and finding ways to bring nature and community back into the city.”

Big congrats to the team at Transition Liverpool who’ve been working towards this for years, with funding from the public and a Transition Together seed funding grant.

Was treated to lunch at Pike Place Market today by my boss, and I noticed that the car-free half block now has seating with umbrellas; every table with an umbrella had attracted people to this space! Let’s get more tables, chairs, & umbrellas in here @seattledot @waterfrontsea
