After the Netherlands swore in its new government, the Prime Minister of fourteen years left office on a bicycle. With 35,000 kilometers of separated cycle tracks and 23.9 million bicycles, cycling is an integral part of everyday life in the Netherlands. 🎥 @MiesBee

When Amsterdam decided to remove car parking from a - quite short - stretch of canal quay. The space! The peace! The tranquility!

I am still in deep sadness and shock🥲. The field of #PhysicalActivity could not have been the same without him and will not be the same without him. @billkohl your passion, wisdom and generosity will be forever missed 💔 your positive impact will live on forever We miss you❤️
You will see many wonderful tributes to @billkohl in the coming days -- may they help you process the loss of a unique person (and personality 😉) who was a pioneer in our field. Our current Editors, @DrMelodyDing and Pedro Hallal, offer their own below.

Read @ISPAH's statement on @billkohl: "As Bill often shared, he came up with the idea of an international society [ISPAH] for our field during a course he was co-teaching in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and sketched out his vision for it on a napkin!" 🔗doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2024-00…
🕊️ With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of @billkohl. An ISPAH Founder, we express deep gratitude for his contributions to ISPAH and the broader Physical Activity research community. ISPAH remains steadfast in continuing Bill's legacy for future generations🙏

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was last there. Just a few years ago, #Paris was choking in car traffic much more. This is new. This is leadership. Cities are a result of choices. HT @Khayat_Fouad
