To me, #Fietsgeluk means cycling around with our kids, seeing them enjoy the environment and dozing off every now and then :)
#WorldBicycleDay

All children need a safe route to school.

Our School Streets projects are helping to make this a reality for more pupils by limiting traffic outside schools at peak pick-up and drop-off times, tackling poor air quality and improving road safety ✅

I'd love to thank Lenore Skenazy Lenore Skenazy for this very exciting endorsement ⬇️of our Streetfilms (Now 1,100+ films!) on Paris School Streets. It is possibly the most important tool I've made in last 5 years!

She said, 'WE CAN DO THIS TOO!' We can!

'You can't buy happiness but you can buy a bike and that's pretty close'

Happy #WorldBicycleDay !

By prioritizing nature conservation and embracing sustainable living practices, we can ensure a healthier future for ourselves and generations to come. Let us all commit to protecting our one and only planet for the greater good of #HealthForAll .

I needed to stop by a garden supply store 3 miles from home today to get 20+ plants (thank you Lawns to Legumes grant!).

I was planing to drive but my 5yo insisted we take the bike.

I’m so glad she did. We had a wonderful ride & all of the plants arrived safely home. 🚲 ❤️ 🌱

Biking the kids to school was when everything changed for me and sent me down a path I never could’ve predicted. Grateful to everyone I’ve connected with and learned from. Happy World Bicycle Day. #WorldBicycleDay

Segregated cycling infrastructure means a 4-year-old and 6-year-old can cycle on their own bikes to the barber in town for their haircuts.

“My children have been breathing dirty air all their lives, but it doesn’t have to be this way. I want a government that cares about children and health.”
Jane, mum of two, South London.

Good cycling infrastructure ensures that teenagers can return home safely around midnight after a night out.

“In the Netherlands, countless initiatives have been devised to make sure that cycling is inclusive, not just for young people who have grown up with it.

The government’s ‘Doortrappen’ programme facilitates continued safe cycling for elderly people.”

#MultiModalTransport #BikeTrainBike

Up to 40% of motor traffic in city centers is passing through with no intention of stopping—damaging their social and commercial heart.

Which is why Luxembourg is expanding its pedestrian zone; steering away cars and creating loveable places for visitors to spend time and money.
