In Montréal, what started as an emergency pandemic response has evolved into the continent’s most ambitious car-free scheme. Across 9.3 kilometres of 11 commercial arteries in seven boroughs, entire corridors have been handed back to pedestrians, helping some 2,100 businesses thrive in the process.🧵

As the use of bicycles rises, and cities do more to make riding them pleasant, bikes are polarising people and setting off culture wars
Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport
