IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it.

Happy #winterbiketoworkday! We at Modacity/Modacity Creative feel that every office needs an office kitty - especially one so well dressed. To celebrate winter cycling today we took our fantastic feline by bike to her annual check up, proving cycling to work includes all the work of care trips, too!

Like Modacity has said before, infrastructure must have many design principles to make it useful.

✅ Connected
✅ Direct
✅ Safe
✅ Comfortable
✅ Attractive and Enjoyable 👈✨
When it comes to long-term behaviour change, attractiveness might be the most overlooked design principle.

Looking past comfort and convenience, it employs beauty—art, lighting, nature, etc.—to create a user experience that entices people onto a bike, even when a car makes the most practical sense.

Women often experience cities differently from men, and that shapes how they travel through them.

In this video, Melissa Bruntlett (Modacity Creative) explains this clearly. Understanding women’s mobility priorities helps create a clearer picture of what inclusive transport systems require.

@modacitylife.com A few years ago had the opportunity to participate in the Island Press/Modacity bike ride /tour in DC. Last night attended this local bike presentation and passed on my copy of Building The Cycling City as Manassas continues to implement changes both short term and long term.

We just need that cycle superhighway between Shrews & Telford now, although I'm not sure how we can improve the rail.

I took a picture in that same spot in 2007 (left). It's fun to see the way Nanjing Road has changed in Chris's photo (right), and the ways it hasn't.
