And why don't the morning radio traffic reports tell us how it's going for cyclists, walkers or transit users ? (my new pet peeve).

One of my experiments had been great at helping to craft language/perspectives for something else that's been brewing. This had been fun and quite informative

This is applause written for a lot of reasons

Written well and Def a bookmark

Start - Hövding iSi Group, a well-established airbag manufacturer, is excited to announce the forthcoming launch of Hövding 4, the next generation of its revolutionary airbag designed specifically to protect the head...

Not guaranteeing USA availability (for anything… bah, perhaps moving…)

Bike Helmet Ratings Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings - Bike helmets have been tested to evaluate their ability to reduce brain injury risk.

I get just enough questions about bike helmets that I ought to keep this page bookmarked… www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helm...

And yet, infrastructure is the thing I want to harp on more.

And the Hövding (which I see is coming back)… maybe one of these to finally get

IMO the more interesting takeaway is that 44% of Americans prefer to live within walking distance of schools and stores. Safe to assume that most of them currently don’t.

The US forces car-dominated sprawl on millions of people who don’t want it.

The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.

Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries.

If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes.

It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn.

Until we move away from sedentary lifestyles and travel and recognise that active travel is key to health.
