Bike parking is bike infrastructure. Bike parking can also be green infrastructure. Bastiaansplein, Delft.

Dozens of bicycles are parked in rows beneath a metal structure covered in leafy green climbing vines in a public square in Delft.

Sometimes #CarryShitOlympics just happens to you... Was at a friend's place for a clothing swap (brought 2 Ikea bags of clothes!!) & her neighbour was selling a countertop dishwasher! So of course I biked home with a dishwasher. 🤣

If your cycle infrastructure isn't safe enough for everyone, of any age, to feel they can use it, then your cycle infrastructure isn't safe enough.

Cycling keeps me young in mind & body & “young at heart” especially when a lot of it is done with inspirational older riders like Eric here today who’s 87 in August & still rides 100 road miles every week Such a pleasure & an honour to share my hobby with people like Eric 🚴😁

Protected cycle tracks are needed alongside rural main roads, with the cycle tracks continuing at roundabouts with cycle priority, so teenagers can safely cycle home with their fishing rod in their hand after a day out fishing with friends

Lovely ride to Cannon Hill Park and back this morning, made possible by @a38cycleway.bsky.social Not in view: the 12yo who rode there and back solo, also enabled by the infra.

I've been on about this for a while; I even did a book about it. It's about the power of a network. And funding, of course - it always needs funding: open.substack.com/pub/lauralak...

What if we had a national network of cycle routes?

Or the power of thinking big

This question is essentially pointless unless people are also polled on *how* they would like it to work. Would it apply to under 18s? If so would teenagers have to carry ID to show exemption? Would cyclists have to carry proof of license? The whole idea is bonkers, which is why no one does it.

When the Dutch invest in cycling infrastructure, they invest in something that is both functional and beautiful. This contributes to cycling not so much being a functional activity, to get from a to b, but also a recreational and social activity.

Why don’t cyclists use the bike lane that the council spent £3m on? Is it because council operated vehicles are parked in the “bike lane”, on the pavement and on the zigzag endangering pedestrians trying to use the crossing. #30daysofbiking

I know this is well-meaning but it sums up everything wrong with road safety. Someone risk-assessed this and decided a warning sign pushing responsibility to the vulnerable road user was the answer. What about ‘CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC BEWARE OF CYCLISTS’? (Or better still, safety by design)

The COVID-19 pandemic offered new insights around the impact of the built environment on mental health, with the prevalence of the car in our cities and lives severely limiting our ability to create restorative spaces. Here are three takeaways for planners wanting to promote better mental health...🧵

More random things between Utrecht and Gouda. A floating petrol station (one for the SEJ lads), floating traffic calming to avoid a hump, a rural signalised crossroads and crossing a turbo roundabout which is very much discouraged as a design.

A red cycle lane passes right of a skinny traffic island which is mirrored on the other side of the road with a hump between the skinny islands.
