Toronto's new eBike Share bikes are 🔥🔥🔥
1. Grey colour- Whole bike is reflective
2. Adaptive shifting
3. Built in phone holder
4. And ability to lock without a docking station for quick stops (at shops etc...)
These are things that make choosing a bike way easier.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Universal daylighting will make intersections safer, but it can also improve your neighborhood in other ways 🌳
When it rains, does it flood so much that it's hard to cross the street? Daylighting can help with that! We can use the reclaimed curb space to absorb excess rainfall:
