Don't blame having a child for the need to buy a car.
Blame your city leaders for making it impossible to cycle with children.

No, I haven't Googled this yet. Yes, I'm just throwing it out on Twitter. How do you define SAFETY in the active transportation realm? Think all levels micro to macro, infrastructure to institutions, not bound by formal traffic safety definitions.

Lots of happy Sydney bike riders after yesterday's announcement by @CloverMoore and @AndrewConstance that the NSW Gov will be funding four new separated cycleways in the city. Wondering where these critical links will be? Here you go! All vital links in safer, easier network.

@TOIGurgaon At the bottom right corner of the picture, you see 6 people incl a child trying to cross 8 lanes of traffic safely. I wish your article also talked about that. @HRYVisionZero @cmohry @nitin_gadkari @GurugramMDA @MunCorpGurugram @SarikaPanda m.timesofindia.com/city/gurg…

What is a good city? asks @EnriquePenalosa a city where we want to stay, where no one feels inferior. It has beautiful open spaces @Walk21Network @Walk21Bogota

When asked to provide my vision for #cities at #SmartCity conferences they are expecting me to say tech. But I simply say walkability. #Walking must be at the centre of any future city strategies. Humans need to walk! Tech must serve the city not other way round! @Walk21Network
Thrilled to join the very talented and inspiring CWG team in #Sydney! Look forward to engaging on some super interesting #publictransport and #roadsafety projects here | bit.ly/2QPuQuf

Substantial increase of people riding bicycle? NOT about signs, parking, racks on buses, sharrows, even shared bikes; all nice to have, nice for the 2% cycling, not for new ones. ONLY 2 actions: 30Km/20mi Max speed all neighbourhood streets AND citywide network protected bikeways
.@Penalosa_G The only two things that will increase cycling are reducing speeds in residential areas and a network of connected bike lanes. #CrossroadsTO

Pune city Ring Road development being taken up at cost of Rs. 10,000+ Crores (USD $1.5 billion). Largest cost being for "Earthwork" & digging "tunnels" (13% each). Road Safety & Quality Control gets 0.2% of budget (Rs 20 Crore). Can we make our Roads safer at design stage! #Pune

"What would cities look like if they were designed by mothers?" Most cities seemed built by 'martians' who have no parents or children. No more cities exclusive for 30 yr old athletic; let's create cities for ALL. @880CitiesOrg theguardian.com/commentisfre…

"Pedestrians are often seen as contributing to the cost of congestion by obstructing the flow of #traffic. In fact, walking is the most important transport mode in #Auckland city center." This new report makes a business case for walking. Thank you for sharing @AklDesignChamp teapaw.org/AklDesignChamp/status/…
Cost of traffic delaying pedestrian flow runs into $$$ Millions! This seminal report by #TeamADO #RIMu @MRCagney @BoffaMiskell will change everything about the way we plan transport in the future. Well done @DarrenDavis10 @GeorgeWeeks2014 ! @BrentToderian ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.…
