Hey steemites!
First, let me show you what inspired me to make this post.
"“Moving can be a really stressful experience, but every time as soon as I got on the bike, I was just laughing and enjoying it. I find it much less stressful on the bicycle than if I was driving,” she said.
She said she has used a moving van and a pickup in previous relocations, and found that more difficult."
“I found it stressful thinking about where to park it and driving such a big vehicle and I’m not used to that,” Gaherty said. “(The bike) was much easier to manoeuvre. I could just get it up to the sidewalk in front of my new house.” source
A few years ago my city added bike lanes all throughout the city. Millions of dollars and all they did was added an extra line of paint and an image of a bicycle on the roads. At the time I thought, how dumb. Since then I've come to realize that this was more than just a shitty counsel decision and ton of paint. Once I became aware of UN agenda 2030, I quickly realized that this was only the beginning of a much bigger transition. With that said, why don't you hop on your 10 speed and let's do this!
"Moving to 'active transit'
Yes, my city is balls deep into this agenda. And I intend to expose it to the fullest extent. But, not on this post. I wanted to focus on bicycles specifically. Not just in my city, but all over the world.
"The goal is not only to help you plan your next relocation but also to inspire riders and municipalities to advocate for change. (“Shaming works,” admits one city planner we spoke to this year.) Here are the 50 cities that made the cut this year—how does your town measure up?"
“The car is no longer king,” former Boston mayor Tom Menino, who oversaw the city for more than two decades, once famously declared. Under Menino’s reign, Boston transformed itself from this magazine’s perennial Worst City for Cycling designation to amongst the best cities for bicycling in the country. With its robust New Balance Hubway bike share system (one of the largest per capita with nearly 2,000 bikes), Boston experienced a 35 percent increase in Census-counted bicycle commuters between 2010 and 2014.
"A new bike-share system with 50 stations and 500 bikes was unveiled in July of 2015, and racked up 12,000 trips per month. In 2014, in partnership with the Green Lane Project, an initiative of the national advocacy organization People for Bikes, the city installed three protected bike lanes, including a cycletrack on Penn Avenue that funnels riders from the Strip District to Downtown and required changing the road to a one-way traffic pattern. When critics argued the new Penn Avenue bike lane saw little ridership, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, which supported the lane, released numbers from an automated counter showing that the bike lane saw 24,000 trips in a single month.
The city’s three Open Streets events draw as many as 55,000 people to revel in motor vehicle-free roadways. And, Pittsburgh’s week-and-a-half-long Bike Fest includes about 75 events to celebrate cycling." - Pittsburgh
"The city gained national acclaim upon the opening of the Tilikum Crossing over the Willamette River, a bridge that carries busses, trains, cyclists and pedestrians—but not cars." - Portland

⬆️ Super long read but it really gives you a good idea of the transformation that's taking place.
Quick search on DuckDuckGo confirms city after city are indeed massively expanding their bike lanes/paths.
"Lest there be doubt about what the state’s after, the draft rules require cities like Bend to “establish performance measures and targets … that measure progress toward increasing transportation choices and reducing reliance upon the automobile.” Nope, no war on cars going on at all.
The rules go on to describe the ways in which cities, through the adoption of transportation system plans, ought to conduct their anti-car battles. To this end, the draft rules provide some options.
Cities, for example, may adopt a set of “performance measures and targets” that produce “a significant increase in the availability or convenience of modes of transportation other than the automobile” and result “in a reduction in reliance on the automobile.” These targets must be measurable and reportable to the state.
Alternatively, cities may adopt a per-capita target for vehicle miles driven, which must decline by 5 percent over 20 years."
From the Treehugger.com
"Bikes. What does that have to do with it? I like to ride my bike and so do you. So what? Bicycle advocacy groups are very powerful now. Advocacy. A fancy word for lobbying, influencing, and maybe strong-arming the public and politicians. What's the conection with bike groups? National groups such as Complete Streets, Thunderhead Alliance, and others, have training programs teaching their members how to pressure for redevelopment, and training candidates for office. It's not just about bike lanes, it's about remaking cities and rural areas to the 'sustainable model'. High density urban development without parking for cars is the goal. This means that whole towns need to be demolished and rebuilt in the image of sustainable development. Bike groups are being used as the 'shock troops' for this plan."
List of bike advocacy (Lobby) groups in the US.
A lot of these cities have a vision zero policy. "Vision Zero is a multi-national road traffic safety project that aims to achieve a highway system with no fatalities or serious injuries involving road traffic."
For example
"Edmonton: On September 22, 2015 Edmonton City Council announced that it was "the first Canadian city to officially adopt Vision Zero." Its Road Safety Strategy 2016-2020 moves "towards zero fatal and major-injury collisions" but does not include a target of zero deaths or major injuries. The targets for the strategy are decreased rates of 1) overall injury collisions, and 2) collisions at intersections.[15]" source
I have a theory to share about this. But, before I do, let's look at the facts.
It is a fact that there is a massive push to get people out of cars and onto bicycles.
Insert bike propaganda piece here ⬇️
"While there are so many tangible benefits to riding instead of driving, including the fuel savings that work toward Sustainable America’s goal of halving American transportation fuel consumption by 2030, the humble bicycle also balances America’s dominant car culture." - source
"When it comes to smart mobility options, I know that using a dockless bike is an option that will always be cheaper, healthier, faster, and more accessible."
"Honestly, I’m too lazy to walk, so if I see a dockless bike then I’ll immediately grab one to cruise to my end destination." - source
Fact: Bike lane expansion costs more than they tell you
- source
I like to take a moment to explain the purpose of this post. First, I have nothing against bicycles, I have nothing against bicycle riders. Except for a couple minor annoyances, that have no bearing on this post. I think bike riding is a perfectly good, healthy recreational activity and a means of travel (for some).
I'm simply approaching a much greater issue from a much smaller angle, in hopes to show the ways in which the UN 2030 agenda is transforming our world. I've done several posts in this fashion, that I'll link at the bottom of this post.
Now not everyone can ride a bike for all or even just some of their travel. So to fix this they are massive expanding BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) LRT (Light Rail Transit) and yes, Driverless cars.
Noticed when reading about the bike lane expansion in cities. They all mentioned a thing called 'bike share'.
"Bicycle-sharing system A bicycle-sharing system, public bicycle system, or bike-share scheme, is a service in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a short term basis for a price or free. Many bike share systems allow people to borrow a bike from a "dock" and return it at another dock belong to the same system. Docks are special bike racks that lock the bike, and only release it by computer control. The user enters their payment information, and the computer unlocks a bike. When the user returns the bike, they place it in the dock, which locks it into the dock. For many systems, smartphone mapping apps show nearby stations with available bikes and open docks." source
It's an interesting concept and certainly a good motivator to get peddling. But unfortunately there is always two purposes (minimum) to everything they do. The ostensible purpose and the real purpose. The real purpose here is to turn things (like a bicycle) from a product into a service. Which, brings me to a very telling article.
"Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city – or should I say, “our city.” I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes."
"It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much." - source
I Recommend you read through the article (short read). And when you're done, consider this quote I heard someone once say. "If something is free, chances are, you are the product".
The author of that article is Ida Auken
"Ida Margrete Meier Auken (born 22 April 1978 in Frederiksberg) is a Danish politician and member of Parliament [1] from the Danish Social Liberal Party. She was Minister for the Environment of Denmark from 2011-14.
Originally a member of the Socialist People's Party she switched parties in 2014.[2] Her mother is Margrete Auken and her late uncle was Svend Auken. Like her mother, she is a priest of the Church of Denmark by profession. She has been a member of the Danish parliament since 2007."

Conspiracy time
To the average person It would seem as if city counsils were acting in the interest of the people. Concerned about their health, safety and the environment, they spend millions of dollars transforming infrastructure to promote bike ridership.
It's not that they want people on bikes, it's that they people out of cars. Specifically out of their own cars, not driving themselves.
'Vision zero' isn't about preventing accidents and death. (Though it will indeed do so). They want to make driving a much slower and more frustrating process of moving through the city, while simultaneously making it quicker and easier to get around on a bicycle.
Deeper into the theory
Shootings and car rammings (whether false flags or not) have increased over the years. Cars on the road in the city aren't usually a target. This is because cars act as armor essentially and generally hold a maximum of 4 people. Getting more people out of cars and onto bikes, buses, trains or walking around, means more soft targets. More potential casualties for these 'attacks'.
For the most part these attacks result in more legislation and the removal of more rights and freedoms for the people.
Why bicycles are a great tool to push their agenda 2030 transportation? Well it's because of the fact that it is healthy. It is cheaper and a low maintenance form of transport. But it keeps you in the city and that's the point.
It's much more limiting than they like to make it out to be in those propaganda pieces. Like that Edmonton woman, who moved her house on her bike. Yeah? How many trips did it take lady? Why didn't they report that? Move your furniture out by pieces. Okay? How many hours will that take? Nonsense article!
Many people would argue that all these cars on the road are causing climate change. In order to save myself a lot of time posting links, I'll instead direct you to one great (fully sourced) video by @corbettreport

Okay, I'm going to end it here before I make a post a mile long. If you made it this far, thanks a ton for sticking it out. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Great to see someone else waking up to this trans person of color bike lane global warming shit!
Thanks. lol nice picture.
The fact is that automobiles were created to enslave humanity and help create the NWO. When people moved away from using horse and buggies for transpiration they slowly became enslaved to the NWO oil companies and the automobile enabled people to travel further and get enslaved working for NWO companies when people should be on the farm and raising a family off the land and not going to the city to be enslaved to the bankers. The automobile was a great tool of destruction to attack the family and break it apart.
At this time you can't even use a car without being a slave of the system that is registered with the state and possessing all the required Nazi papers the function as a happy little slave.
Right now you can still hop on a bike and go places without needing all that crap.
Yes, but with a car you move out of the city and get on that farm. If you are clever you can convert your car to run on other fuels like cooking oil or water. Heck, once you are out on a farm, switch to horse and buggy! The Amish still use them.
Point o my article was that they are trying to people onto to bikes and more importantly out of cars so that they will never leave the city. All cars will be a service and unownable. They will be autonomous vehicle that will only take you where you are allowed to. Bicycles are very much apart of the new world enslavement that is agenda 2030.
But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy using a bicycle, just don't fall for the bs that it can replace all the things a car can do.
I understand all that but are not self driving cars more part of the NWO agenda then bikes? The other thing with having a bike is that if there was an EMP and you where in the city and all the cars stopped then you would be able to get around them on a bike and get out of the city but if you where relying on a modern car that is not EMP proof then you would be screwed.
Also with a car if they decided they did not want people to leave the city and started blocking off roads you could go on you bike off the road and go though a trail in the woods and avoid the barricade.
Just like tiny houses can be used by the NWO they can also be used to escape the system. All these tiny house boxes that they want people living in the smart cities with are going to be used by the NWO but people can also use a tiny house to make it easier to get out of the city and live off grid and be independent. The other advantage to tiny houses is that people can afford to buy one and not be stuck paying of a mortgagee the bankers and be forced to work slaving away in the city.
It's the same way with bikes sure they are being used by the NWO but there are a lot of ways that people can use bikes to fight the NWO system.
I would say that people should get the heck out of the city now and not wait until SHTF.
You read my post righ?. I explain why I'm talking about bicycles/bike lanes. They are using bike propaganda to convince people that they don't need to own a car at all. So that they can push autonomous cars as a service.
Of course you can get out of the city with a bike, good luck having everything you need with you though. But why would you wait that long to get out? Get out of the city now or as soon as you can. Don't wait for the shit to hit the fan.
I wrote all about the tiny home agenda, and I pointed out how it can be a good thing and a bad thing. Mostly used to program people into the less is more mindset. But it really doesn't apply to families. I'm married with two children. Plus I'm 6'1, not going to work.
Still might be a great idea for a single person or couple.
Back to bikes. My post was only meant to show how these cities are being transformed to make sure that you don't own a 'drivable' car and bike lanes was the feature. (As I explained in my post)
Of course you should get out of the city now and not wait until SHTF that is what is said at the end of my comment. But for the people that still want to live in the city if they are smart the don't just think they can haul a bunch of survival gear in their car out into the woods when SHTF happens and get by. They have a planned bug out location out in the country with some gear stockpiled in a non conspicuous way.
How is the less is more thing that bad of a mindset? Toiling away to amass a huge amount of junk via working for some NWO company is just enslaving you. It is smart of have lots of food and useful things stockpiled but still the consumerist culture is something the NWO promotes.
Tiny houses might not work for big families but if you think back to the pioneers they had huge families that lived together in tiny log cabins and this idea that people need huge houses is something promoted by the NWO.
Obviously, those are sensible planning scenarios. But, my post wasn't a prepper post. The people that don't even know that there is a legitimate threat to them have to be made clear upon what is going on. Bike lanes is one aspect and rest assured none of those bike lanes will lead out of the city in the future. They are slowly building a closed network with only one way in and one way out.
Now, where we are in disagreement is based on our own personal perspectives. I, a family man and you, a single man? You are looking to a contingency plan based solely for yourself, with little understanding of how much it will take to get a family to a safe location out of the city.
It's not as simple to just hope of your ten speeds and peddle to the woods. (Get real) but anyways that's not her or there. How you and other wish to live your life and deal with situations is up to you. My post is simply pointing out the transformation taking place and why it's taking place.
Less isn't more that is a logical fallacy. Is less food more? No. Is less space really more space? No. Oh consumerism? Are you assuming that I was talking about consumerism? 😂 I don't want to live crammed like the pioneers (if I don't have to), I need a little more space than that to function. As well as good space to grow my food. I don't need stuff, that's what idiots pine for. And you're have right about what the nwo pushes, they are very much pushing tiny homes ( proof is in the post I made about it) and minimalism, simultaneously as they glomourize Hollywood celebrities mansions and all the latest tech. They capture us all in their propaganda.
I'll make clear again, I don't have any problems with bikes. It was never about the bikes. It was about the control over movement within the city limits.
The saying less is more is not the best way to describe things but with a lot of things it is better to have less of something then more of it.
I live far away from the city and plan to eventually be even more remote so getting out of the city is not an issue for me at all.
I agree with a lot of the things you said but I just wanted to give my thoughts.
Anyways good job with all your posts exposing Agenda 2030 it is vital that this information gets out.
Great motivational article sir.
sir i loved cycle riding.. your blog is top class
thanks for share..
so you didn't read it then?

Thanks. I have nothing against people wanting to bike around for some exercise, maybe save some money on gas. But I would warn anyone with a car. Keep your car around, keep it handy. Because one day they are going to ban them in your city and your gonna need it to drive the hell out of town!
Holy cow - that would bugger up bloody everything and crash the economy!
No couriers = no business...
I was a bike courier once. Later I owned a bike shop.
Now I own an online retail business.
In NZ in the 80's we had carless days. Each car had a sticker for the day it wasn't aloud to be used. It was a fucking disaster and nearly caused a revolution. People who could afford to had two cars.
Back then cars were expensive in NZ - now they are dirt cheap (cheaper than bicycles) because we have free open import of the used Japanese car fleet (we are right hand drive like Japan).
Because I have passed out on a couple of occasions I'm not aloud to drive, and thankfully we have a very good courier system and live across the road from the shops - we also live across the road from one of the nicest bike lanes in NZ - I walk on it most days - and guess what - virtually nobody rides bikes on it because cycling has all but disappeared- owning a bike shop now would suck - they have to be vegan cafes with electric bikes
No I didn't paint the graffiti :)
