Cycling infrastructure is an absolute "build them and they will come" solution www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

More bikes than cars recorded on Edinburgh rush hour route for first time

Highest figures also notched up on major Glasgow cycle routes too

4 things that made me far less scared of cyclists as a pedestrian: 1. Thinking "did they 'nearly hit me' or did they just surprise me?" 2. If neither, "was there any credible risk of harm to anyone or was I just being a cop about it?" 3. Being aware that hitting me would very likely hurt them.

I was driving along Chester Road, Stretford the other day, when I saw a child cycling safely along the new cycle lanes. Alone, no adult with them. And I rejoiced, because this is precisely what the new lanes are FOR. 🙌 (Adults can use them too! 🤣)

Look, ebikes are great, but if you want to ride a 1500 watt monster, you're wanting to ride a motorbike. At least have the dignity of being honest about it! And motorbikes have no space on cycling infrastructure.

Sometimes I think about while bike bus is a great idea, what would be a greater idea is to have streets safe enough that kids could just bike to school by themselves without needing adults to organize and lead them.

Your regular reminder that there ISN’T a “war on cars.” Any objective observation in most cities however, would conclude that for 60+ years there’s been a war on every mobility choice EXCEPT cars. And that’s been bad for EVERYONE, including drivers. Poster via @urbantruth.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

A driver’s perspective on passing a cyclist safely. A short thread. I was driving to work and came up behind a cyclist. High vis, tail lights, mirror. They kept checking over their shoulder. I know that look. Starting your day already bracing for nonsense.

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers. INCLUDING DRIVERS. The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

It'd be cool if the "increasing the cost of motoring hurts poor people" people cared anything like as much about cost to people who rely on public transport - who are disproportionately likely to be poor and disabled, and who consistently face far greater increases in cost.

The increasingly unsustainable cost of UK public transport
Change in financial cost of travel in the UK from May 2011 to April 2021, by type and compared to the cost of living
Bus/coach fares: +75.3%
Rail fares: +37.3%
Cost of living (Retail Price Index): +28.0%
Motoring: +9.1%

Graph shows clearly that bus and rail fares increased more than cost of living, motoring less

Motoring costs include fuel, tax & insurance, purchase and maintenance.

This is important to understand. For example, those people who MUST GET IN FRONT (dangerously) of the bike that they see as slow and ‘holding them up’. They’re falling for this, rather than understanding that their overall journey time will not be affected by more than a couple of minutes, at most.

The more people own cars, the more our society is built on the expectation that people will own cars, and the more people who do own cars insist that they can't do without them, and the more people who don't own cars are treated as an afterthought & an inconvenience.

Bravo to the driver of the black Peugeot, who perfectly waits for me to pass in the cycle lane before turning left across the lane. Boo to the impatient driver of the white Citroën, who beeps twice at the Peugeot driver while he's waiting. The wait is only a matter of seconds.

This is a v short service road + parking for a row of shops, joining the main road just beyond the white van. I’m appalled that a speed hump has had to be installed to slow down rat-runners, who just can’t wait to join the main road, just to the right of where I’m standing. It’s a telling detail.

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C. Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler. Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

So true. New protected bike lanes have been installed near where I live. And I have noticed just how much more relaxed I am when I reach my destination, if it is within the new protected area. Contrast to when I travel further, where there's no protection - I do indeed use so much more mental energy

Absolutely. I fit this demographic; I was a child in the ‘70s. I played in the street daily with friends from the same street. There were few cars, & they were smaller, so fitted in driveways or took up less road space. They were driven slower and carefully ‘cos they knew children played there.
