This is a picture of black front load cargo bike with a long wheelbase and yellow cargo container, parked on paving bricks and leaning against a brick wall. The bike's t rear wheel is normal sized and is in the picture's left side. The bike'sfront wheel is small, about half the diameter of the rear and is in the right side of the picture. The cargo's carried on a platform that's in front of the handlebars & extends to the front wheel. The platform's maybe 100 cm/40 inches long, and the fork holding the front wheel is at the end of the platform, but really can't see the platform because the bike's cargo container or box. The container or box big enough to hold small children or a big dog. What's unusual is that the cargo box is shaped like a huge Dutch wooden shoe. The shoe is a rich yellow, and its side are red, lavender, and light yellow tulips with green stems. This wooden shoe cargo container makes the bike look cheerful and cute. The wooden shoe container is also a sly joke: cargo bikes are very popular in the Netherland.

@maaikeverbruggen.bsky.social, don't know if you saw this in my July post, but I think it fits

Riding out extreme heat A case study of New York City’s 2019 heat waves indicates that in extremely hot weather, people may be more likely to turn to ride-hailing services like Uber or Lyft for their transportation needs, es...

Using weather advisories as behavioral thresholds allows us to pinpoint when heat becomes not just uncomfortable, but behavior-changing. Check out the new transportation study on the role ride hailing plays in modern urban transportation. #TransportSky engineering.cmu.edu/news-events/...

Hey #envirosky #climatesky #ecosky #transportsky #planningsky, anyone have a good legal/academic definition of "induced demand", like how it's used in transportation planning?

can you all do me a favor and sign this petition?? this can help add bicycle and pedestrian access on a bridge in my community.

I finished this book by @nondriver.bsky.social Lots of good advice in the conclusion & epilogue on how to make a difference. Bottom line is that our transportation system is NOT serving the needs of people in our communities & in many ways is actively harmful. Needs to change!! #transportsky

This book is a must read for all people making transportation policy decisions & for all walkability & public transportation advocates #TransportSky

Reading this fantastic book by Anna Letitia Zivarts @nondriver.bsky.social Heard her give a presentation a few weeks ago & found it super informative. Those of us who choose when to drive have no idea of what those for whom driving is not on option go through to meet their basic needs. #transportsky
