This is the reason most American cities are bankrupt.

When talking about bicycle infrastructure in Canada, the number one excuse I hear is "winter." Many Canadians see the cold and snow as a fundamental barrier to year round cycling. But one city, Oulu in Finland, with winter weather worse than most Canadian cities, shows that winter cycling has nothing to do with the weather, and everything to do with safe cycling infrastructure. Want to learn more about winter cycling? Every February, the Winter Cycling Federation holds a Winter Cycling Congress where experts and advocates get together and talk about best practices in cycling infrastructure and maintenance.

What happens when a blizzard comes to Amsterdam? We found this February, when storm Darcy hit the Netherlands. In geneal, cycling infrastructure was prioritized, but there were several problems with the train system. And in the end, maybe this storm wasn't quite as bad as people thought it would be, and the Netherlands should probably be prepared for such storms in the future.

Dutch bicycle paths are some of the best in the world. This is the short explanation of what they're all about. #shorts

This is a bit of a repeat for long-time viewers to the channel, but I wanted to share again the best part of pedestrian infrastructure in the Netherlands: continuous sidewalks. These sidewalks are much safer and more comfortable, as they do not require pedestrians to drop down to street level, and it ensures that drivers slow down before crossing paths with pedestrians. If there's one piece of Dutch street design that your city should copy today, it's continuous sidewalks. My original full-length video about continuous sidewalks is here: https://youtu.be/9OfBpQgLXUc #shorts

"Coventry - The City That Nearly Forgot The Bicycle" This special guest video was produced by Adam Tranter, the Bicycle Mayor for Coventry, in the UK. Coventry holds an important place in the history of the bicycle. It is the city where both the penny-farthing, as well as the safety bicycle - the template for almost all modern bicycles - was invented. In this short documentary, Adam explains the history of cycling in Coventry, and about the realities of cycling in Coventry today. Comparisons to Amsterdam and the Netherlands are provided. This film will be shown as part of the Coventry Transport Museum's new exhibition Gearing Up: From Saddle to Spoke online on Friday 12 March 2021. The exhibition (https://culturespacecoventry.com/gearing-up) – which it is hoped will open physically when the museum reopens – features over 80 cycles and celebrates the history, unique designs, and benefits of cycling.

In many US and Canadain cities you really only have two choices for living: an apartment/condo, or a single family home. The housing options in-between these two extremes - called "Missing Middle Housing" - has been legislated almost out of existence in the US and Canada. Now many cities are starting to doubt these regulations and are (slowly) undoing the car-centric mistakes of the past. This video explores the missing middle, what it was, what it still is in Europe, and what it could be in the future in North America.

For centuries, cities used to be built incrementally. Improving and building on successful places, and changing or abandoning unsuccessful places. This changed in America in the 1940s, when whole neighbourhoods were built on the edge of town, to a completed state. After several generations, many of these places are financially insolvent, but are propping themselves up with an ever-growing mountain of debt.

Stroads are streets that are designed like roads and in doing so, fail at being good at either one. They are too sprawling and hostile to be good streets, and they are too busy and complicated to be good roads. Stroads are inefficient, unsafe, expensive, and ugly. This video introduces the concept of Stroads, and talks about why you will (almost) never find these kind of places in the Netherlands: because here all roads need to have a single purpose as either a motorway, connector road, or end-destination street. The name "stroad" was invented by Strong Towns as a way to explain why road design in the US is fundamentally broken.

Car-dependent suburbs suck. But that doesn't mean that all suburbs suck. It is possible to build suburbs that don't suck, and the US and Canada used to design great suburbs all the time. But even though these pre-war suburbs are loved by many people, and in huge demand, they're illegal to build today.

For about the last twenty years, my wife and I have had a pretty simple rule: if we don't need to drive to work, we don't need to own a car. We applied this even in car-centric places by taking advantage of carshare services. People don't seem to understand just how easy modern carshare services have become, which is too bad, as they would benefit almost everyone.

Urban noise is a common problem, and the vast majority of it is created by motor vehicles. Noise is far too often dismissed as a minor nuisance, rather than the legitimate health issue that it is. The book "Curbing Traffic" has a chapter about the health impacts of noise pollution. I explore the research in the book, and visit Delft, the city that is highlighted in the book as being a shining example of what can happen when noise pollution is taken seriously. This video explores the problem that farting cars, farting motorcycles, and farting mopeds create in our cities.

Why doesn't anybody cycle to the hardware store in Canada? In this collab with Shifter, we take the basketball game of "plus 1 minus 2" and bring it to urban cycling, as a way of comparing a similar ride between cities. Unsurprisingly, it sucks to cycle to a suburban hardware store in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. But how much does it suck? And how does cycling to the suburbs compare between Calgary and Amsterdam?

Speed limits are important to keep our roads and streets safe but how are they decided? And what happens when a speed limit is set too high or too low? There are right and wrong ways to set our speed limits, and design our streets, but unfortunately North American traffic planners are firmly stuck in the 20th century when it comes to building safe streets.
