'Being in a room yesterday with so many people who see a bike as a perfectly normal way to get around, but also simply as something fun, was quite nice. ... For years, I worked in places where ... I was very much the weirdo who arrived on a bike while everyone else drove.' Quite.

Reframing Road Safety
I’m fairly sure nobody has ever been sitting in traffic thinking, “You know what would improve this? More cars.”Really enjoyed Tom Flood’s talk yesterday. Lots in there about reframing safety…

Another morning on the way to University of Limerick. Cars barely moving. Time lost in traffic. And somehow, we have accepted this as normal. It does not have to be. Dare to choose differently. Choose cycling. 🚲

That’s how the “mandatory hi-vis for cyclists” in Ireland feels. Fluorescent clothing won’t fix unsafe roads. It shifts responsibility onto the person on the bike instead of addressing the real issue: poor road design and lack of protected cycle lanes. We need safer infrastructure 🚲

There I am, in the city center (mind you, I live 5 km away from it), running an @iscycle.bsky.social focus group about e-bike perceptions… when this woman goes, “Well, I do know someone who’s always biking around. But they’re foreigners, so you know… different habits.”

Pedestrians and cyclists (those curious creatures who produce no emissions) already enjoy a grand total of about two advantages compared to cars. One of them is supposed to be priority at zebra crossings. Supposed to be.

🚴‍♂️ Hey e‑bike riders, cycling enthusiasts, and researchers working with power-output data, I’m looking for recommendations: what’s the most reliable crank-based power meter to install on an e‑bike that will accurately measure rider power output separately from the motor’s assistance?
