For 25 years, @greenparty.org.uk has been campaigning for car-free zones, cleaner air, and safer neighbourhoods for Londoners.

Now in 2026, Labour is finally getting on board with major pedestrianisation projects.

e-scooters are an incredible gateway drug to carfree thinking. I've owned several. 🙌

@urbantruth.bsky.social Very Interesting. Streets should be made carfree on Halloween. Protect our kids!

People were really into the idea of the carefree pledge. friends from Arlandria were talking about how they’d embraced more carpooling this year & suggested “carfree or carpool” so families who aren’t in great or safe truck or treat zones don’t feel like they’re being told to stay home

Come with me on a bike commute from south St. Louis to SIUE! When my schedule permits, I do this ride a couple of times a week. Ordinarily it’s about 29 miles, but some circuitous routes (by choice) and detours (by force) have stretched it to 36 recently.

"Cars aren’t nearly as necessary as we’ve been led to believe...I am absolutely convinced that if our cities were designed properly, the majority of people could live without a car...and their lives would actually be better as a result."

Sunday serenity in Maastricht (the Netherlands)! 🚲✨ Wonderful to see this street closed to cars on Sundays, leaving it entirely to pedestrians and cyclists. Car-free, everyone happy!

Today's #carfree #halifax trip was to visit with my friend in the Public Gardens. We sat in the sun and were cozy and warm. I took my son's bike so I could leave the bakfiets with my partner who was at home with a sick kid. My friend took a picture for me so I could […]

My inlaws are in DTLA so i have spent quite a lot of time there, often without renting a car, and mostly use transit even when I do. Can get around pretty well actually. But the place is built for cars and few people are carfree for noneconomic reasons

A couple of bikes under the light of a lamppost at Ferry Terminal Park in Dartmouth, with just a hint of pink on the horizon in the distance. On the ferry! Looking towards the Halifax side of the harbour. Someone's feet (not mine) are up on a bench. A scone and a latte, complete with latte art, on the patio at Dilly Dally, a local independent coffee shop.

Speaker 30: Wants more renter representation. Green framing (option to live carfree, balcony solar). Vienna (AT) rooftop farms. Remove street parking that restricts bus, enforce parking rules.

Spokes deputation supporting Councillor @lorenzomartinico.bsky.social's motion

City of Edinburgh Council, meeting 29 October 2026 Written deputation from Spokes in support of Cllr Martinico’s motion “Car Free Day and Playing Out” Our deputation concentrates on the Car Free Day side of the motion, as we have no experience of the Playing Out schemes, although those proposals do appear valuable. Spokes wistfully recalls the Council’s first ever – and highly successful – participation in World Car Free day on 22 September 2002. At that time, the Council did not even have a formal traffic reduction target, but recognised the over-dominance of motor traffic in the city, and specifically in the central area where the dangers, noise and pollution was most strongly in evidence. Now, in 2026, the recognition of those issues is much greater, the Council has an ambitious traffic reduction target – and yet, since the pandemic, the city no longer joins others around the world in demonstrating, even for one day, how it could be if shopping and congregating areas, such as the city centre and our local town centres were car-free. A brief report on Edinburgh’s first car-free day was included in Spokes Bulletin 831 and states... Edinburgh’s first ever car-free day was a delight for the many thousands of people enjoying entertainments, stalls, and the freedom of a car-free George Street [Herald 23.9.02]. Unusual and decorated bikes roved the area, and a huge topical mural was created. The day was also a big success for businesses like the George Street cafes, whose busy tables stretched right across the pavement, and for the farmers’ market whose takings well exceeded their normal Castle Terrace location. We congratulate Edinburgh Council on at last joining the 1400 other European cities celebrating Car-Free day. As can be seen, George Street was car-free for the day, and the Farmers’ Market moved from Castle Terrace to George Street, attracting large numbers of people to the street and to George Street cafes. Of course, the Council is still deliberating on the f… Start of Cllr Martinico motion Full motion here https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s104968/Item%208.2%20-%20By%20Councillor%20Martinico%20-%20Car%20Free%20Day%20and%20Playing%20Out.pdf Motion by Councillor Martinico City of Edinburgh Council 29 October 2026 Car Free Day and Playing Out Supporting Information Council: 1.1 Notes that World Car Free Day is an international awareness day, taking place in September each year, which aims to bring about car-free towns and cities across the globe for just one day and promote a more sustainable way of regular travel. 1.2 Notes that Car Free Day was regularly supported in Edinburgh for many years, including the closure of George Street for a day in 2003; the support for ‘In Town Without My Car’ in 2009, the introduction of ‘Open Streets’ in 2019 and the closure of Waverley Bridge in 2022; further notes there does not appear to have been an evaluation of Open Streets. 1.3 Notes the benefits to the over 400 cities around the world which have a more substantial engagement with Car Free Day, for example Brussels, whose yearly closure of its 161km of street results in an 80% reduction of nitrogen dioxide, a 99% reduction of noise, and allows a variety of street markets and family-friendly activities; further notes that in Bogotá, every Sunday and public holiday Ciclovías are held, closing more than 130 kilometres of road, and between 1.5 and 2 million people participate. 1.4 Notes that between April and August 2017, a pilot Playing Out scheme was launched to allow communities to request localised street closures supporting play events. Following a consultation, the Transport and Environment Committee agreed on 17 May 2018 to make Playing Out Council policy, with a three year evaluation cycle; however it’s unclear if this evaluation was completed or whether the evaluation report returned to committee, and what level of support the Council currently provides to parents or community groups that may want to host a Playing O… Report on Edinburgh's first official CarFree Day, 23.9.2002, from Spokes Bulletin #93 Sorry, this was a photo so can't reproduce the text Picture of Spokes stall in George Street during the 2002 carfree day

We have a half dozen breweries and beergardens bikeable from the shoebox condos. It's a great set up for young horny people. Check out Emeryville, CA. Just across the bridge from San Francisco. We retired carfree here.

It was this iconic 1980s brick, but that was before I understood a carfree life is a carefree life, for nothing can ever beat the combination of public transport and a folding bike.

Just barely managed to get home with this beast. The biggest (and most expensive) slab I've ever bought. Maple with some really pretty spalting.

As slabs go it's not actually that big but I'm moving it around by hand and on the train so it's big for me. Excited to cut into it

just make the whole street carfree or whole city. Little walled off bike 'lanes/ways' never made a lot of sense. Cars drive thru soccer fields if you let them. #CarsAreATrap
