Hey car free peeps! We haven't been over there in a while but we're still very active. Check us out on bsky.app/profile/carfre… We won't be posting on this website anymore. We're also on threads and mastadon at @carfree" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">better.boston/@carfree Thanks, and keep not driving!

Hats off to this cyclist. My hero for the day.

Who knew @RishiSunak is a gas huffer? But there it is.

A special moment this morning! Instead of riding the bus or driving, over 175 of our students and families joined our #BikeBus today to get to school. To make the morning even better, yard signs and posters with positive messages greeted the students as they rode by! 🚲🏡

A new study finds that 78% of ocean microplastic comes from tire dust, largely from rich countries. Electric vehicles will not solve our ecological crisis. They will only prolong trends like this.

All these people claim to be progressive but the minute you talk about reducing parking or building apartments on their block, they lose their minds.

@BT00110 @MassDCR False. highways.dot.gov/safety/proven-…

@CarFreeBoston @MassDCR Does not. Taking lanes for bikes causes congestion and increases pollution.

We have issued the following advisory for work we are doing to add a lane to Arborway to alleviate congestion:

Just want them to run. Any color would do.

Hate my elected officials who are such screwups. Endless talk about endless communication when a new bike lane is proposed, but you can remove a bike lane in the middle of the night with one hour notice twitter.com/MassDCR/status…

@MassDCR Madness. Adding a lane will only increase traffic and congestion by adding more cars. This is well understood. And we're in a climate and ecological emergency while pedestrian fatalities are up massively, especially children. Fix the T and in the meantime walk or ride a bike FFS.

Do you want to make the BU Bridge safer to bike on? A group of us have developed recommendations and are looking to show support. Please sign our petition. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@DsaCult Ok, open to ideas. How would you massively fund public transit?

This trend will continue until all the cars are gone.

Enough! Today, the citizens of Milan blocked intersections at four crucial locations in the city to demand that their voices be heard, and taken into consideration. Let's unite our forces to ensure that Milan becomes a city where no one should fear for their life on the streets.

Today, the cyclists of Jinja, Uganda took over the streets with a #CriticalMassJinja ride to demand that their voices to be heard, their needs to be seen and taken into consideration. #CarFreeDayJinja #ABikeMakesTheDifference #JinjaBicycleCity

Hier, avec la journée Paris Respire, notre ville était plus vivante que jamais avec toujours plus de familles, de jeunes et d'enfants dans nos rues ! Une ville plus vivante et pourtant bien moins bruyante avec 53% de bruit en moins, un record ! Ce n'est pas tout ⤵
