A tale of just a few decades. What has gone wrong. Focus should be on the bicycles rather than the cars. #Cycling is the solution. #CyclingIsb

“Many are asking what it’ll take for people in power to wake up. But let’s be clear - they’re already awake. They know exactly what they’re doing. They know exactly what priceless values they’re sacrificing to maintain business as usual.” My speech from today’s march in Glasgow.

How amazing is this?

Lane markers are not ineffective as traffic separators, as a couple of recent bike car collisions in Karachi have proven.

No, bikes are not the new toilet paper. Toilet paper was overbought & hoarded because of fear. Bikes are being bought because real people are starting to see a better way.

Something we should look into as well
When our streets cater for our children's physical exercise instead of fast-moving vehicles... The 'Dutch school bus' as antidote for the backseat generation!

Karachi! What are you waiting for?
Reopen streets, reopen cities. London announces large-scale car-free zones, joining a growing number of cities taking action to prevent a traffic crisis from breaking out amid the ongoing health and economic crises. amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/…

Awesome to see Karachites respond to the lockdown by cycling. Hopefully, this'll be the silver lining in the dark clouds. However, cannot emphasize enough the need for safety and care while riding on the roads. The first step of riding safely is to wear a helmet. #BikeKarachi
