Graphic titled “Culture shift” contrasts two columns labeled “Normal” and “Radical.” Under “Normal”: Accepting road violence, accepting road fatalities, accepting pedestrian fatalities, accepting cyclist fatalities, accepting excessive speeds, accepting unsafe streets, accepting pollution, accepting gridlock, accepting the loss of youth mobility, accepting the loss of senior mobility. Under “Radical”: Wanting to prevent road violence, wanting to prevent road fatalities, wanting to prevent pedestrian fatalities, wanting to prevent cyclist fatalities, wanting slower speeds, wanting safe streets, wanting less pollution, wanting less gridlock, wanting youth mobility, wanting senior mobility. Text below reads: “It’s time to rethink what’s considered normal on our streets.” Logo: The Biking Lawyer LLP with a bicycle icon.
