Times infinity, David!! #LessCar and #JoyAsAnActofResistance to car culture
Highly recommend this @lloydalter.bsky.social
piece on Baby Boomers aging out of driving, but continuing to drive - because thatβs the car culture weβve created. Lots of reasons to ramp up #lesscar and more transit transportation policies!
The world we could have, if more of us amplified the #lesscar joy and potential.

Pedestrianized streets for the big win. LOVE this news out of my own city, #Seattle and wish this for all other U.S. cities trying to get #lesscar infrastructure rolling in their communities. It works! LOTS of people like walk/bike/no car zones!!!! And that helps local businesses!

That seems like a lot!
#LessCar and more #bikes for local transportation could really helpβ¦

Yes! We need to hear from more people who converted from car to bike commute ! It's night and day, once you settle in to the right gear and best route. Love this. #bikes4all #lesscar #ClimateInfluence #cities4all
Exactly. I think we have a ton more power to change what is seen as cool.

That research on how this country went from making smoking cool to countering that could likely come in handy too. And, I know the leaders/stories to tell that can also help.
RE: the joyful, community-engaged U.S. mayors w/ big #lesscar potential... See, the 3 that @billmckibben.bsky.social wrote about (pre- @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social + @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social wins) from his "having fun leading" angle #JoyAsAnActOfResistance www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
YES!! #NameAndFame the positive news, especially when it involves U.S. #cities (and their leadership)! The bold leaders who just move forward with #lesscar ARE seeing wins. Can't wait to see how NYC and now Seattle kick it into the next gear a bit with our new mayors. #ClimateInfluence
Imagine getting anywhere close to this in the U.S.

Woo hoo! Go #WA state and the others. Leading by example is #ClimateInfluence
So thrilled that @barbchamberlain.bsky.social is one of this states transportation leaders because -wow- is she a powerhouse example. #LessCar #States
I tend to want to « name and fame Β» those lawmakers who are boldly acting on #lesscar infrastructure rather than negatively call out those misinformed types who would vote against it. Butβ¦ Comeβ¦.oNnnn. #transportation #climateinfluence
#CALeg . CA voters : tell them what you think of this!
So lovely. We CAN get back to a life more like this, as so many of us on #Bikesky can attest. Keep on showing the world, simply through the example of your life, that #lesscar and more #joy is possible. People will start to get the hint that they are missing out.
The UK and the U.S. -
A #lesscar world is the one we all want, whether we realize it or not.
I love this! Great perspective and suggestions from @sngreenways.bsky.social . I am psyched to watch as each new #lesscar step Mayor Wilson could choose to take will have exponential #ClimateInfluence and create new levels of Seattle neighborhood joy. Letβs GO!
I'm clearly a #lesscar , more #ebike person, but this #lowtech @slateauto.bsky.social (very reasonably priced) small truck/SUV has my interest. I put my $50 down and would love to find a neighbor to share such a vehicle with. And/or it's just nice to support a manual window roll-up, no radio car.
Yes!!! Love that you tagged the local politicians you know of, Peter!! #NameAndFame #ClimateInfluence (with extra points for leaders who are actively engaged on @bsky.app so that more people can amplify their #lesscar values ! )

Have I shared lately how much I had already loved my #lesscar life in Seattle? Now, there will be even more joy. #bikes4all who are able-bodied and want to experience their cities through joy goggles, #ClimateInfluence
Zero U.S. #cities on this list (thanks for the piece @adelepeters.bsky.social )
This is why the #lesscar new NYC and Seattle mayors @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social , and the re-elected @mayorwu.boston.gov are the ones to watch. #ClimateInfluence #transportation
Yes. All of the usual caveats. I wish this for those who can.
Letβs all contribute to huge #lesscar change in all U.S. cities, however long it takes!
What a great profile! Now I am wondering if I could find one such « cultural broker »
who likes #lesscar existence in every big U.S. city. Thanks for sharing. Happy that Chicago has her. :-)
#Seattle - this is exciting and the nailbiter appears to be going the @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social way. Dang, we have to wait until Monday afternoon for more news.

Watching the #ClimateInfluence candidates (those who are seen living change #lesscar and transforming leadership social norms) win big tonight. Love this! Huge congrats, @mayorwu.boston.gov and supporters!
City leaders who visibly pedal their talk have MASSIVE social norm shifting #ClimateInfluence
Why I am keeping such an eye on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in NYC and @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social in Seattle.
#LessCar for the win in cities.
If your city is booming with #bikes and #ebikes, amplify your love for this #lesscar freedom. Yours is among the true #cities4climate and is changing the leadership social norm. THAT is #ClimateInfluence
Thanks for covering it, Bryan Walsh @vox.com
#coveringclimate
Yes! @mayorwu.boston.gov is one of the few U.S. mayors I love to #NameAndFame for being seen leading a #lesscar life. Glad you are cheering her on, extra, too, Kyle! #ClimateInfluence
Those comments sure seem to indicate that they may be... :-) (Love a good e-cargo bike reference at the school pick-up!) Kudos to whatever your community is doing to get the #lesscar message out!
I am voting for the other candidate in this mayoral race: A person who uses transit, and walks and bikes in this city.
