If you're involved in the rapid roll-out of bicycle urbanism in YOUR city, @modacitylife.com clear, concise🧵 of how Beijing moved from a bike mode share of 9.5% in 2015 to 30% of all trips by bike now is a must-read. Every local culture, climate, and fossil-lite economy depends on rapid action NOW.

"The thing that makes a bike lane “equitable” is that most people can afford a bike even if they can’t afford a car... It turns out the transportation we needed was there all along, just waiting to get better... "E-bikes [are] cutting oil demand by a million barrels a day, probably more than EVs."

The Dutch have been studying bio-resilient cities for the past decade, protect existing trees in paving projects (often taking car lanes to give #trees more room to grow), and have added 1000s of new trees when improving bike lanes. The result in Utrecht is a cooler, more beautiful city to bike in.

Some humans have the hubris to think we can geo-engineer other planets to suit our biological needs, when in fact we're taking the perfect planet, that we've evolved to co-exist with, and literally burning it up with fossil fuels.

Bill McKibben, a writer and climate activist I've been inspired by for decades, wrote a post about transitioning to bicycles as a powerful climate action. I am honored he used one of my watercolors to frame his post. ps: Find my work as postcards AND A4, greeting cards, originals Ask cathytuttle.nl

I wish @postnl.bsky.social made bicycle postage stamps. I can print my own for a fee, but it would be nice to see more bike culture in everyday Dutch art. 🚲❤️ Ik zou willen PostNL postzegels met fietsen. Het zou leuk zijn om meer fietscultuur terug te zien in alledaagse Nederlandse kunst.

There are good reasons, of all the cities in the world, I chose to live in Utrecht. This @bicycledutch.bsky.social video explains many of them. Streets are our shared public space. A welcoming public space translates, overall, to a welcoming city.
