The nationwide protests that started this weekend were born out of anger regarding systemic racism. Unfortunately in response to these protests, Mayor Lightfoot has that transit austerity is the best response.

A discussion hosted by The Untokening collective looked at why over-policing and other social justice issues must be considered when planning walk/bike interventions during the pandemic.

The National Association of City Transportation Officials recently held a talk on cities’ response to the current surge in walking and biking during COVID-19. The webinar, “Essential Movement: Building Temporary Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities” featured speakers from Montreal, Milan, and Washington D.C.

A person's body size or weight has no bearing on their worth as a human being. Bike culture should reflect that.

For Black and Brown people to feel completely safe walking, biking, or just existing in public space, we need to make fundamental changes in the way our society is structured.

We need to make walking, biking, and transit safer and more appealing, or we're going to see an increase in driving, congestion, pollution and crashes once the Stay at Home order is lifted.

Having supportive city officials has been key to opening opening up streets to people during the COVID-19 crisis.

In addition to a pandemic, we are living through the climate crisis. We can't go back to how things were before the "Stay at Home" order largely emptied our streets.

The coronavirus threat is a crisis, but it's also an opportunity to discover or rediscover the physical, mental, and emotional health benefits of cycling.

Decision-makers worry about inconveniencing motorists, but we should instead focus on making it safer to transport children without driving, and creating streets where kids can safely spend time.

E-bikes are useful for people who need to travel long distances and those with mobility challenges, and they can help broaden the appeal of cycling. How can we help to encourage use?
