A car stopped suddenly to avoid crashing into a small family of ducks, causing an accident with the vehicle behind. Then some drivers stopped the traffic and helped the ducks to safety.

„This unpleasant pedestrian experience, besides being unsafe, also makes people less likely to want to come walk or cycle down to the island. That causes many to choose to drive instead, creating a vicious cycle.“

Be seen, grab a brick!

Ich glaube, ich wäre durchgedreht, aber es handelte sich damals wohl nur um einen Aprilscherz.

Cities in the UK and around the world are creating cycling networks by installing new bike lanes to help reduce emissions, but some claim they are making traffic worse.

Children need more independent mobility. Modern suburbia is car-dependent, and kids/teenagers cannot get around without their parents driving them. This has serious consequences on their physical and mental health and well-being.

The rising cost of petrol, carbon emissions, tax and insurance…these are just some of the reasons why owning a car may not appeal to everyone. Likewise, there are many reasons why you might not want to own a bicycle or an e-bike. But what if you could combine the best qualities of bicycles and cars into one?

Dieses Tool wurde entwickelt, damit Menschen sich inspirieren lassen können. Mit spielerischer Recherche regeneriert die KI die Straßenansicht und möchte zeigen, wie Straßen auch aussehen könnten. Natürlich hat die KI und die Technik, d. h. die Verwendung von Google Streetview-Bildern, ihre Grenzen und wird in Zukunft immer besser. Feedback und Interaktion sind willkommen, damit wir globale Herausforderungen gemeinsam lösen können.

Hier die A115 in Berlin Dreilinden – und ich sag ja, da ist echt noch Luft nach oben.

Remember during lockdown, how we all got obsessed with ordering everything online and having it delivered right to our doorsteps? Yeah, turns out that isn’t going away anytime soon, and we’re starting to understand the many downsides. The delivery vans that make our next-day shipping dreams come true are driving up C02 emissions while making our streets more crowded and less safe.

Fortunately, there’s a hero waiting in the wings: the e-cargo bike. Not only can these bad boys deliver packages in urban environments just as quickly (and sometimes faster) than delivery vans, they take up far less space and are much less likely to cause pedestrian deaths. Companies like Amazon, DHL, and UPS are using them in several European cities, but American cities haven’t followed suit.

In this video, we explore why that is, and lay out some of the big steps American cities would need to take to join the e-bike delivery revolution.

Engineers, planners, politicians, and advocates all around the world are trying to improve their cities and build more great walkable places with viable alternatives to driving. But there’s a looming trend that could undo all of that hard work: the growth of SUVs and light trucks.

This could all be solved if these pathetic suburbanites could just buy small cars, station wagons, or minivans instead.

There is a bike trail in Belgium where you can go “Cycling Through Water,” through a large lake in the De Wijers nature reserve.

This bridge is below the water line and in parts it is low enough to put riders at eye level with the lake

Bei Drive & Listen kann man sich fast CO2-frei durch alle möglichen Städte der Welt fahren lassen und dabei die jeweils lokalen Radiosender hören. Ich war heute schon in Barcelona, auf Hawaii und in Havana.

Drive and Listen is Website where we enjoy the feel of Driving through almost every country.

Also we can enjoy the Radio of that City at the time.

മിക്കവാറും എല്ലാ രാജ്യങ്ങളിലൂടെയും ഡ്രൈവിംഗ് ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒരു അനുഭവം ആസ്വദിക്കുന്ന സാധിക്കുന്ന ഒരു വെബ്‌സൈറ്റാണ് Drive and Listen.
