The lesson, proven time and time again: create it and they will come. Create safe and fast infrastructure all over town and the bikers will show up, and be happy. [Not cultural at all, more like car brain at the helm.}</p><p>2nd lesson: Amsterdam has a long time history of POLITICAL WILL on safety and opposed, so called, faster cars. Later on public health was added to that WILL: less emission [pollution] and less noise.</p><p>3rd lesson: take traffic design seriously. That means the theory has to be adapted to new things learned. In the US, as far as I know, traffic design often works with far outdated data. And the study is averse to that adaptation. I wonder why ? Car brain ?</p><p>4th lesson; at 8:12 you did get an useful idea about the car industry's history. Why don't YOU fact check that ! Giving others your own homework, or is that what teachers do ? 😋 </p><p>5th lesson: there is no one key to fix it all. not even public transport. That's a common US problem: not being able to go slow but ALL IN. Always looking for the quick and easy fix !</p><p>6th lesson: the Dutch are not skinny ! They are healthy, eaten fresh food as well as cycling.</p><p>Conclusion: What ARE the good thing of NY traffic [the point of the video], huh ? Record deadths, pollution ? Hurray !</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TakeCareForLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TakeCareForLife</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TakeCareForEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TakeCareForEarth</span></a> <br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopBurningThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopBurningThings</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopEcoside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopEcoside</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopThePlunder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopThePlunder</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateBreakDown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateBreakDown</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopRapingNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopRapingNature</span></a></p>
