This bike tech shows how data-driven solutions can enhance safety and sustainability. We could adapt this at low cost for cities in the global South to make it affordable and scalable.

The problem isn’t just Toyota—it’s a system where car dominance is treated and sold to the public as inevitable, deepening mobility injustice, especially in the global South.

There's an important aspect to this World Bank report that Devdiscourse doesn't mention: Sustainable Transport Investment should include support and funding for informal and active mobility.

"There is a dearth of data on bikes and cycling in the Netherlands." Oh really?

Delft SenseBike is a high-tech bike for mapping/studying cyclist behavior in the Netherlands. But there is huge potential for the global South.

This is an interview my wife & I did on the Active Towns podcast with John Simmerman. In it, we discuss the kinds of things we've been doing in #Yellowknife #NWT to encourage people to be less dependent on their cars. Yellowknife is only about 8 km in diameter, so we could easily be the biking capital of the North, but most people over here consider cycling as recreation, not transportation. Give it a watch or listen. #activetransport #activemobility #cycling

"Carbrain" is normalized car dominance, just as smoking was once once normalized.

But with fewer car owners in the global South, change can come faster and smarter.

This World Bank report recognizes the need to fund informal and active mobility — not just big-ticket infrastructure. A promising step for funding that advances transportation justice.

Chilean President Boric rides to work on two wheels, making cycling look as easy and habitual as it should be — a vital, sustainable mode of urban transportation.

"Empathetic mobility"

We didn't come up with the term, but it perfectly describes the Trufi vision of transportation ecosystems that prioritize people over vehicles – especially in the global South.

Are you connected to any of the new Walking and Cycling Grants projects in London? Trufi would love to partner and offer our open-source mobility tools to make transport more accessible.

When you provide infrastructure for sustainable active mobility, this is what you get: A vibrant city.

“Walking is still honest,” yet in the global South, it’s more than that: It’s essential; the only mode available to the vast majority. Despite this, streets cater to cars.

Bhekisisa’s COP29 step-by-step carbon math shows the impact of walking, cycling, and transit. But the Global South needs more than symbolic strides—it needs funding justice.

For the first time cycling has appeared at a major platform at COP — a perspective long overdue.
