One way to avoid more and more accidents between cars and bikes is to construct
roads and transportation infinfrastructure that does not privilege one person
in a car. It is important to point out that many European cities that were once
car congested nightmares - like Amsterdam - got better. Others, however failed
to move away from cars and the new normal and, in fact moved backwards. One
such city is Brussels. As this brief documentary makes clear Brussels once had
bike lanes and related etc that the politicians abandoned.

multiuser path in a frame that asserts the primacy of automobiles we have
already lost the argument. Or so I would argue

“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of
the human race.”
