[video] In the City of London, bikes now outnumber cars

To be clear, this is not London as most people think of it, but the City of London, aka The Square Mile. This is good news, for sure, but also not surprising as there are lots of public transport options and driving into the The City is... daft, even for hardest petrol head.

1/607 is a start!

London (UK), Toronto, Montreal, Paris, all the Netherlands...

So many cities proving that cycling infrastructure can get people out of cars. Yet, cycling infrastructure in most of Canada is either no longer being built or torn down.

Incredibly maddening, especially when drivers complain about traffic, yet here's a cheap and easy solution for any city.

Edit: expanded

Conservatives love forcibly imposing their lifestyle on people in the name of "freedom." It's amazing how successful they've been in getting people to buy into their ass-backwards logic.
- Only Conservatives could call "freedom" sitting in a metal cage, surrounded by others in metal cages, when "woke" alternatives (like walking!! 🫢) are freely available to them. There is no logic, only self-harm and the harm of others.
Maybe it'd be helpful to piggyback some buy Canadian attitudes? Because if this keeps up for the next 5 years Canada will be way behind the US on cycling. Right now it's a shame, but given time it will become genuinely shameful.

This is one of the best pieces of cycling propaganda I have ever seen, I love it. Personal car ownership in central London has become so diabolical even the English are putting down their car keys and picking up a bike. I cycled in London for the first 20 years of my life and watched it become completely dominated by cars. It's strange to hear them say the words, as if it's some sort of fever dream. People fundamentally enjoy and benefit from cycling in a way that they never will behind the wheel of a car. Makes me hopeful for the future.
