    Great job Claudia! Passion has driven curiosity to get community approach to a common problem. You took the lead. Ride together, have a mission, have a revolution. You are a though girl! How everyone looked at you so surprised...hey...there is someone doing something..!!! Social change is a major achievement. Getting kids involved in training and fun activities is awesome. Businesses all you name it. Please write this steps in a flowchart. I think that will simplify it and make it better for all of us. Thanks a lot!

    Good job, Claudia, and well-performed. The bad news: it won't work in my country. The good news: we in The Netherlands are one big co-op of cyclists. At least a thousand years ahead of the rest of the world. So, success with your projects! Greetz from NL.

    I have been into bikes for a long time. I live in a small town and would like to see more people on bikes, so I thought I would watch your videos for ideas. I do not know how much you know about what critical mass really is? I would recommend that you look it up and reconsider. It is far from promoting cycling/ quite the opposite. Critical mass is more like bicycle terrorism. The people on it are belligerent entitled bicycling scofflaws that promote a - people on bikes versus people in cars (cagers) attitude. They impede auto traffic, lay their bikes down in front of cars/ clog intersections, run signals weave in and out of traffic and get into altercations with car drivers. (well it's not the thing a decent person would willingly want to be involved in.)

    This woman should never be allowed to ride a bicycle again. She should have her bicycle confiscated and destroyed and she show be imprisoned for her opinions and actions.... Now I know what you are thinking. Your thinking how horrible I am for saying these things about this woman because she has a right to be free and pursue her happiness right? Ya well guess what losers? There are those of us who want to be free to be happy as well. Those of us who love our cars... Ya I like to drive my car through the countryside. It makes me happy. Ya know what the difference in me and YOU are? You truly want to take my rights away even though you just thought I was so horrible. But I don't want to stop you from pursuing your dreams... That is the difference in Me and you and that is the difference in living in a free Conservative society as opposed to living in a socialist oppressive society.Think about that for a while.

      I know this is an old comment, but the beautiful thing is bikes and cars don't have to be exclusive ends! In many cities friendly to bikes the percent of trips made on bikes is in the teens; trips in cars are still very possible.
      In fact, one cool thing I learned about the Netherlands where they have a huge amount of biking is that bikes can even make it easier to drive. One reason being that there is less congestion because many people that would have been in a car are now on a bike; clearing the way for those driving.
      Taking her bike away and destroying it doesn't sound like a "free society" where you "don't want to stop (her) from pursuing (her) dreams" 🤔

      @@googleuser6201 I don't want to take anyone's car away actually, in fact I own one myself and I'm very thankful to have it! It's a ton of fun for me though to have the option to ride my bike safely in addition to that 🎉 I love a world where both things can be true; we can safely choose to ride a bike or drive our car as it best fits our needs and desires ❤️ I have a background as a mechanic so I think cars and mechanical things are pretty cool too; I think it's mostly about creating spaces where I can drive my car without feeling stressed about hitting a pedestrian and I can ride my bike without fear of getting hit 🚀 That would be pretty cool
