From car wasteland to one of the best examples of urbanism in the world. 20 years.
We should probably ban cars until we figure out why this keeps happening.

It's amazing how many posts and stories like this you see. E-bikes are revolutionizing transportation, enabling people to go more places without cars, and there's an all-out assault to kill them.

One to file under “efficient transport looks empty, car-based transport looks full”

Abolish Ice
Like a bicycle, there’s nothing inherently “dangerous” about this vehicle
It’s cars that are dangerous (and getting more dangerous due to bloat)
A vision of the future?
More bikes than cars check ✅

Could you do something about the long delays at crossings faced by people walking along the Home St / Tollcross / Earl Grey St / Lothian Rd corridor?
Waiting at the King’ theatre junction on Sunday evening for minutes, along with ~40 others, many gave up & crossed on the red man. Only 3 or 4 cars
