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?

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

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.
