When I worked for @CambMA they had wonderful environmental planning programs aimed at increasing bike ridership/safety. Goal was to reduce traffic, protect environment & promote health. They even had a city bike for staff to use for cross town mtgs. A real model!
I bike 2 hours each way to work. It's bliss, revives my spirits. But here's the catch: Biking is super hazardous, & cities simply are not designed to be safe for bikes. But we know how to build safe cities. We just don't. My 102 year old dad said it, "The car's the enemy."https://twitter.com/CaulfieldTim/status/1095410823772684288 …

I'm reading this while icing down my knees after hour of PT. 40 yrs of serious urban biking & I have zero cartilage left in the knees, 6 rib fractures, rotator cuff & more scars on my legs than I can count. Among the accidents: SUV hit-&-run, hit by full cokes by teen boys, etc
