My feature on Armin Taheri, the Junior Bicycle Mayor of Amsterdam, is published in today’s New York Times for Kids! It was such an honor reporting on this very special story about a young person with a great idea.
It’s a story about bicycles. It’s a story about the freedom of mobility in childhood. It’s a story about transforming our world, one “living” street at a time.
Get out there (ahem, on your bike, preferably) and pick-up today’s issue of the Sunday Times. And please share it with a kid in your life!

Here are some fascinating videos that inspired this story:

The Bicycle Mayors discuss designing places around children.
In nearby Utrecht, watch how the city was planned for people, not cars.
