Better Practices For Transportation

"You can cycle from King's Cross in central London to Belsize Park in north London entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.

"I have done so for almost my entire life. Apart from owning a car for four months in 1985, I have always relied on a combination of walking, cycling, trains, public transport, shared cars and, when necessary, planes.

In this video I explain how that works in practice. Why I deliberately chose to live within walking distance of a railway station, how I combine trains and bicycles to reach destinations across the Netherlands, when I use shared cars, and how I travel to places such as Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Finland, Australia and the United States.

Living without a car does not mean never driving. It simply means choosing the most appropriate mode of transport for each journey."

"Finland’s longest and tallest bridge, the Kruunuvuorensilta — or Crown Mountain Bridge — is designed only for walking, cycling and light rail. The new bridge in Helsinki is 1.2 kilometers long, its pylon rises 135 meters above the Baltic Sea, and it connects new urban developments with the city center, cutting the distance in half"

"You can cycle from Stoke Newington in north London to Angel entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.

The route is 5km long (3.2 miles) and makes use of Cycleway 1 and Cycleway 27 running through various LTNs in Hackney and Islington"
