@alexisdyslexic@cycling So my point is not to act as if Davis is the worst - it's not. But I want to show that you don't have to scratch deeply to hit the car-centrism and ableism. Therefore holding it up uncritically as "Platinum Bike-Friendly" does us a great disservice. #UCAccessNow#CarCenrism#Cycling
@meganL@cycling the best in North America is probably Montreal. But Not Just Bike just made a clap back video about how poorly Montreal stand up to European cities. I don't think we have a good infrastructure anywhere in North America.
But I think we're at an inflexion point and a lot is going to be built out soon.
The new World Bicycle Relief Buffalo Utility S2 bike is an engineering marvel with a two-speed freewheel and backpedal shifting. We saw the OG bikes in Kenya in 2018 and I WANTED one (they were $100), but now I REALLY want one. https://worldbicyclerelief.org/s2/
They really thread the needle on utility vs. minimum maintenance vs minimum cost.
