So many people in the Netherlands cycle to to the supermarket, therefore supermarkets design for cyclists. Here, a seamless bike route leads directly to the supermarket entrance cycle parking - no dodging cars, no awkward detours.

Imagine the outrage if bikes dripped oil everywhere they went, staining streets, sidewalks, and parking lots. But when cars do it? No one bats an eye.

We're looking again at the Chief Medical Officer's 2022 #AirPollution report and noting how much diesel contributes to the nitrogen oxides we are breathing across England. Diesel needs to go. #DitchDiesel buff.ly/4hY9erU
A pie chart showing the sources of nitrogen oxides in the UK, and how much comes from road transport and diesel vehicles (the vast majority comes from diesel).

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times. "We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

Road Wars: Cycling in Paris (Radio 4: 13:30-14:00 Sun 23 Feb 2025). Paris has created a vast network of bike lanes, introduced new restrictions for cars. The number of cyclists has soared. Is Paris's plan working? Is this transformation the future for other major cities?

The suburbs of Alkmaar in the Netherlands have a huge network of protected cycle tracks which allows anyone, of any age or ability, to safely and comfortably get around their neighbourhood. Here is a small section of them, at X3 the speed.

When you create low traffic neighbourhoods the community flourishes and streets become places to dine, neighbours interact, children play freely, and walking and cycling becomes much safer and more pleasant.

Valencia does not have state-of-the-art cycling infrastructure, but it’s adequate. Separated cycle lanes always bypass bus stops. There’s no major problem and pedestrians crossing are respected by cyclists.

I know I’m still on a post-Munich high - and feeling very, very pro EU as always - but I just loved this.
Image show country road between the Netherlands and Belgium, where pro-cycling road markings begin. 

Caption says: “There are no more borders in the European Union. However, you will always know where the Netherlands begins.”
