Post by @americanfietser: “The most anti-American thing Canada can do right now is going full blast on designing cities around people and funding the hell out of walkability, bike lanes, transit, and a highly functional train system.”

Google maps screenshot showing a route along a dual carriageway that is impossible to cross
This is the so called crossing point... A gap in the hedge and a gap in the central reservation. The cars are doing 70mph. We almost gave up.
PSA for anyone attempting to get to Tremenheere sculpture garden on foot... Do not follow Google! You cannot walk along the Longrock bypass, & you cannot cross it at the marked point, unless you have a death wish/no children with you. #Cornwall #CarFree #FamilyAdventure #walking
In the 1970s the Traffic Circulation Plan was introduced in the city of Groningen to reduce car traffic in the city center.
The 22 minute video shows that it was met with a lot of resistance, but 50 years later it is the foundation of why people love Groningen.
The plan gave people, bikes and […]

Best investment I have made in the last 5 years was my @ternbicycles.com HSD. Second best was my #HappyRainyDays coat (happyrainydays.eu/products/mon...). Both make #CarFree living not only possible but practical & pleasant even when it rains! #BikeJoy #SaveGas

I’m lucky I made several prescient decisions several years ago that made flying the only real way this hits me.
I drive an EV in #Michigan and have an air source #heatpump at my condo and live #carfree in DC
This was a beautiful read & captures my own #CarFree life brilliantly. Health, wealth & happiness for me is on 2 wheels or 2 feet #UrbanTruth
But progress exists. EV sales up 25% in 2024. Cities reclaiming space from cars. The UN Decade of #SustainableTransport just launched. The question is scale — and political will. #ElectricVehicles #ActiveMobility #CarFree #Decarbonisation

We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

How can we make a #carfree or #lesscar lifestyle more *conceivable* to so many (in the U.S.) who have lived in/soaked in car culture for decades? Make sure that those of us who DO live that way are giving off cues (not gloating!) that we have extra joy and resilience right about now.
The world feels like it's going to shit but somewhere between walking back from our local bike shop and trying a new pastry at a cafe I realized my life finally feels right. Also, I no longer live in the US. That's probably most of it.

The Car-Free Dream Falters in Brisbane: A Month Without Wheels Teaches Hard Lessons

I’m staying in a #hilly part of DC this stretch. A week ago I was panting like a pup on a hot day, but after a week of around 15,000 steps a day I’m breathing normally and not breaking a sweat.
I cannot underemphasize how much living #carfree is better for your health
I drive an #electricvehicle anyway but I chose a mighty excellent year to spend most of the first 6 months of 2026 in a city where I can live #carfree 😂

Things I'm doing with my early retirement:
- putting at least 25 km a week on my bike
- patching up holes in old clothes instead of buying new
- making my own food, not eating processed convenience items
- reading like a fiend
- making art!

Oh, would you look at those poor poor people in France? Suffering living in caves because they have a car free neighborhood .
Oh the travesty. They have to walk. They have to walk. Oh dear, they don’t have to spend any money on gas to go […]
ROTFL!
But then when they notice those oil prices keep going up … will they keep out of the senseless war or chip in to power their cars, jets & yachts more affordable? 🤑
I have always been #carfree. Even in Los Angeles.
Also, I don’t own a jet or a yacht. Just in case you were wondering. 😂
We retired in a 15-minute US city. E-bike, transit, walking only. AMA #carfree
Hauled a lot by e-bike from estate sale yesterday: chairs, tables, household goods. Returned today looking for a can opener, nails, etc..
Staff were impressed by my #MoveByBike. Told them I was new ED of the local bike/ped/transit advocacy group & they seemed psyched that I walk my #carfree talk.
A screenshot of an infographic from an Ellen MacArthur Foundation factsheet (https://content.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/m/1c919f88a238cb51/original/Circular-economy-in-cities-Opportunity-benefit-factsheets-Urban-Mobility-System.pdf). The first column says "Congestion costs 2–5% of global GDP annually in lost time, wasted fuel, and increased cost of doing business". The second column says "As much as 50% of European inner-city land is devoted to roads and parking; but, even in rush hour, cars use only 10% of urban roads". Third column says "On average, European cars are parked 92% of the time and when in use only 1.5 out of 5 seats are occupied". Final column says "In India, electricity to power street lighting and maintenance costs can account for 5–10% of municipal budgets in large cities and up to 20% in smaller cities". These statements each have a link to the evidence not included in this description.
Have been using one for 15 years in Halifax, host one on our driveway after going #CarFree in 2022. For us, living in a @communauto.bsky.social rich neighbourhood, ditching our car was a no brainer once we did the maths. Parked >92% of time, our car was a pricy, inefficient security blanket.
I love @waymo.bsky.social. I don't have to make small talk. The cars are clean. Almost 100 rides and I've never had an issue. I can just sit back and ride. #carfree
