“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”
What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.
US: "We found that the data centers that already exist affect nearby residents and the nation as a whole in five main areas: air quality, water quality, noise levels, land use and energy costs."

Scientists, not political appointees, should decide which scientific research proposals are most worthy of federal funding.

In an exclusive interview, Brent Suter becomes the first American pro athlete to speak out against fossil fuel advertising in sports.
Indeed! The combination of an extensive rail-to-trail system, canal tow paths, and myriad smaller bike paths across the state that connect to the bigger paths make for primo cycling in Ohio.
I offer a big shout out to the wise people of Ohio for having built outstanding interconnected bike trails all across their state (thousands of miles of connected trails). I rode from Cincinnati to Cleveland on the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET) this week. Spectacular! Thank you!
Would love to participate in Philly, if possible. Too bad the event isn’t this weekend, because I’m headed to Cleveland now by bike.

How exciting. By bike! Have you noticed that many American cities that once were major centers of industry now have nice bike paths leading into them, and they look more appealing arriving by bike than they do on their highways?
