Before I moved to the US I used to take a one stop train from my town to the next town over for work, it was about 25 minutes, dead end each way so we would sleep on the train and the conductor would wake us up at each end! A sleeper train to chicago would be sold out months in advance.

Regional night trains are an untapped market in the U.S.: trains don’t need to be fast if you’re asleep. High-speed rail is great but leaving CUS at 10pm, leaving Milwaukee at 11:30pm, and waking up in Minneapolis could end up being more popular than spending eight daylight hours on the Borealis.

If Stillwater figured out a way to close it's main street to cars (by building multiple park and ride lots with high frequency minibusses) it would become an even greater toursit destination Currently its fun but way too loud due to traffic and the thin sidewalks can't handle the number of people

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

For sure, the gateway tail this weekend was extremely busy and I'd say at worse the demographic split was 60/40 M/F for cyclists

I have zero data to back this up, but when we got our cargo bike in 2021 the other cargo bike riders I saw while out & about were ~80% men (maybe even higher, TBH). Now, I feel like it’s *way* more balanced. Since 2021 we’ve gotten a lot more protected bike infrastructure.

My record since qutting a job in a suburban office for a job 1 mile away and buying a bike is 5 weeks without getting in my car.

We got our first e cargo bike to replace our second car. Now we use our bikes so often that our remaining car sits, sometimes for entire weeks at a time. This is for a family of 4 with 2 young kids. We go places every day. We rarely need to go by car.

A reminder that Alcohol is a carcinogen and the US alcohol lobby got the CDC to remove reccomended drinking limits of 1 drink a day for women and 2 for men from dietary guidelines. Along wtih this, the CDC buried a scientific study proving 1 drink a day inflates cancer risk. Buy a bike instead.
