My Flickr page has over 4,000 images of transportation images organized by city and infrastructure type. It's mostly focused on active modes, and cycling in particular, but also includes various other transportation modes and street elements. My Flickr albums can be found by clicking the button above.
My YouTube page 'Rolling in the City' literally provides videos of me rolling in the city, or many cities, with a camera strapped to my bars, you can experience how other cities and their infrastructure feels to ride, and appreciate the level of comfort that high quality facilities for all ages and abilities provides. A few examples are provided below, and the channel can be viewed by clicking the button above.
