Someone has to put a chart near it, describing the decline in driving in the city. When you're limited to 30kmh, you might as well get a scooter...

Great, scooters are much less likely to kill pedestrians during collisions. I'm glad more people who didn't actually need 2 ton metal boxes are downsizing to something more practical.

Ah yes, because mowing down kids is somehow pro family?

I live car free in a Dutch suburb with two small kids and do so specifically so our kids could have a better life than crappy American suburbia.
