Restricting mobility is the ultimate loss of freedom. 🧵 From Jim Crow to Apartheid to modern "economic walls" and car-centric design, the logic of exclusion persists. But the Bicycle is the ultimate equalizer! Dive deeper into the article by @michelagrasso.bsky.social

Mobility is Politics

A history of mobility through autocratic restrictions and democratic limitations—and how the bicycle has overcome this

"There is no such thing as 'the safest type of bicycle." The #fatbike debate is heating up. CEO, @urbancyclinginstitute @cyclingprofessor.bsky.social says instead of asking 'How do fatbike riders stay safe?' we should ask, 'How do motorists ensure cyclists can #participate #safely?'

‘Fatbikes weren is een belachelijke maatregel’

Dikke banden, gashendel, geen helm en scheuren maar. Is de fatbike nou wel zo veilig? Volgens hoogleraar Meredith Glaser ligt die verantwoordelijkheid niet alleen bij de fietser.

Cycling happens in the real world- messy, contextual, human. Our new article argues we need experiential learning: policymakers on bikes, study visits, and feeling what works. Because sometimes the best evidence isn't in a journal-it's on two wheels. open.substack.com/pub/urbancyc...
