But there's one lame excuse that is so common, so prevalent, so ubiquitous, that I want to talk about it and that's the excuse that "My country is too big to have trains, bicycle infrastructure, walkable neighborhoods or whatever."

So when someone new to walkable cities sees an example of a great City and they realize it's clearly better than where they live, their first gut reaction is to grab any difference between the two and make that the reason as to why their city can't be the same.

National Bike Month is a celebration of cycling held every May in the United States. It is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists and celebrated in communities from coast-to-coast. Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling and to encourage more folks to giving bicycling a try.[1]

As part of National Bike Month, National Bike to Work Week is usually held the third week of May, with Bike to Work Day being on that Friday.

Culdesac designs, builds, and manages walkable communities.

Culdesac is a real estate developer and property manager. We build neighborhoods that embrace community, open space, and mobility. We offer residential units at a variety of price points integrated with local retail, commercial uses, and open space for nature and public plazas.

Our communities prioritize biking, walking, and transit over cars and parking. We partner with leading mobility companies to deliver convenient and affordable transportation services. This creates a vibrant urban lifestyle without the need for a private vehicle.

There's a guy that travels around on foot with mules and apparently brings attention to how this used to be a commonly accepted right to travel on a lot of roads, and now they're trying to restrict access to cars only in certain places without creating travel routes for people on foot, by horse, by bicycle, and so on, so he's filed a lawsuit over it to bring attention to the issue.

Whatever is to be made of it, he's engaged in an interesting experiment of travel and living outside nomadically.

Because this bureaucratic change was made in secret, there was obviously no explanation offered for the change, but, speculatively, there is a high probability that it has to do with the documented cardiovascular side effects associated with the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA gene therapies deceptively marketed as “vaccines.”

The FAA, responding to an inquiry, reportedly claimed that “no evidence of aircraft accidents or incapacitations caused by pilots suffering medical complications associated with COVID-19 vaccines” exists.
