Got an email today from the dutch cycling association because they are celebrating their 50th cakeday in which they shared a post with some of their old posters. Most don’t make sense if you don’t speak dutch, but they’re here: https://www.fietsersbond.nl/50-jaar-fietsersbond-campagnes-en-posters/

Edit: turns out they’re quite proud they made this poster and wrote a whole post about it in english. Not instead of the other url, but an addition for sure: https://www.fietsersbond.nl/english-info/whose-space-is-it/.

      I’m surprised that this is the most recent one on the link. Are they not doing campaigns anymore?

        I can’t remember seeing a physical poster made by them, nor a video campaign. I think they’ve changed their approach over the years because when I hear of or from them it is either because a local chapter object or suggest a certain design of a very specific place like a crossing or a new road or because they’ve lobbying some very specific change in a law or a guideline. Not sure what caused that change. Maybe our country already believe cars suck? Not sure, but a lot of people who drive do prefer to cycle if the distance allows it, especially if they’re travelling inside a town.

        You can place a bike on either side of each bar. Look at the brackets for the front wheel.

    Great idea, but I think the panels are out of order. This makes more sense to me:

      They’re not out of order, it’s just there are two orders. The left side is “what if bicycles” themed and the right side is “what if bus” themed. Except the top left is shared, of course.

      Obviously it could have been presented more clearly though.

        Okay, maybe not out of order exactly, but they make more sense in my version.

        For mine, it’s a progression of simpler and simpler transportation:

        Top four show the space savings of a bus. Next two show the savings of bikes. Final two show savings of pedestrians.

          I’ve seen versions of this that make more sense then this poster as well, reason for sharing it is mainly because it’s age shows that the concept of space for people (vs space for machines) has been relevant for a long time now.

          Edit: Also notice how much this street look like some streets in some countries, but look nothing like inner-city streets in the Netherlands. Roads without bike lanes are extremely uncommon nowadays.
