Reading this piece https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/news/2023/february/commuting-by-example-head-teacher-in-north-wales-replaces-car-with-e-bike/ led me to Sustrans programs like E-Move Wales https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/projects/2021/wales/e-move-piloting-e-bike-and-e-cargo-bike-loans-in-wales/ and Cargo Bike Scotland https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/projects/2022/scotland/cargo-bike-scotland-project/. The power of trying out an e-assist bike is phenomenal!
"E-Move's collection of e-bikes have panniers, stowage trays and seats to carry children of various ages." Awesome work, Sustrans! #FamilyBiking #EBikes #CargoBikes #MoveEquity #transportation #Bikes4Climate #SafeRoutesNow #BikeTooter #cycling #BicyclesChangeLives

@kklevine I'm a once upon a time undergrad Linguistics and English major now working in active transportation policy so I definitely think about how people and actions are described and how that frames assumptions and perceptions. In the same vein as this study, Australian research found aggro drivers perceive cyclists as less than human: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2019/03/28/study-aggressive-driving-is-linked-to-seeing-cyclists-as-less-than-human/ citing https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1369847818308593?via%3Dihub#. #WordsMatter #BikeTooter #linguistics #language #MobilityJustice #MoveEquity #ActiveTransport

Usage disconnect/conflict in transportation research: prevalent use of "accessibility" to measure whether there are lots of places to get to, not whether the routes to the places are ADA-accessible. #TRBAM #WordsMatter #walkability #accessibility #MoveEquity
