Ha ha ha ! It's not RAIN stopping us, it's lack of joined up routes, decent infrastructure and feeling safe when we're out and about.

The community cost of accommodating cars in towns and cities is becoming extremely apparent with rain on widespread hard standing leading to surface water flooding. Then there's the cost of physical inactivity to the NHS. Perhaps we can now prioritise walking, cycling and catching the bus?

I wear a helmet, as do most people who ride a bike in the US. But Streetsblog is 100% right here. Bike helmets do absolutely nothing to prevent crashes, and focusing on helmets necessarily pulls our attention away from the systemic changes we desperately need to keep all people safe on our streets.

Cycling means to be safe everywhere, including at bus stops. Floating bus stops save lives. Tearing them out because some break the rules will lead to more bus-bike crashes, and more people in major trauma centres.

It shouldn't be remarkable, but we really appreciate it when construction teams make it safe & comfortable to cycle & walk past their worksites without a "Cyclists Dismount" in sight. This example from McAleer & Rush on Stratford High Street is great! Certain utilities firms could learn a thing or 👀
A gantry of scaffolding over a footway and a separated cycleway, next to construction hoardings. The gantry is sheltered, lit inside, and has signs above marking "Pedestrians" and "Cycle Lane", and HERAS fencing provides additional protection to the cycleway. Someone cycles along the cycle lane in safety without having to dismount or merge with traffic.
