Safety alone isn't enough to get more women cycling. Cities must start building cohesive networks connecting the myriad places women need to go. This means looking beyond “Can women cycle safely here?” and asking: “Can women use this network to live their lives?” LISTEN: www.dw.com/en/why-arent...

When it comes to road safety, cities have two choices: Adapt kids to traffic: keep them indoors and drive them everywhere. Or adapt traffic to kids: make streets safe enough to move as autonomous members of society. The choice says a lot about the kind of city we want to build. youtu.be/O_WjWRmQwtg

A key theme of Women Changing Cities is the importance of showing up. Not just to challenge the ideas that we disagree with, but to support the leaders who are thanklessly shaping more inclusive, equitable, and caring places. Melissa's interview with Budapest's Feminicity Collective: bit.ly/4xSPvS5

I ask these questions constantly. We have decent goals, targets and strategies in London but there’s no real consequences when we expose they’re not being met. Everyone seems stuck in a soup of business as usual, budget restraint and fear that challenging car first culture will worsen division.

The clearest warning: Nature isn't just nice to have - we need it. Our own experts say it straight, when ecosystems collapse, food runs short, people move, conflict follows. So we get to choose... keep burning carbon or build something better.

The climate crisis isn't just making heat worse, it's shifting the rhythm of our seasons. Heatwaves are starting earlier, lingering longer, striking faster - and these changes are driven by emissions, including from flying. We need to make more sensible choices, to keep the world liveable.

6. Indeed, it's marked that actually, there is little to no correlation in London between the delivery of safe cycle routes and bus speeds. Ex-Westminster Council transport lead @maxsullivan.bsky.social covers this with two examples here: movepeople.substack.com/p/do-cycle-l... &... 10/13

Do cycle lanes slow buses down?
The Lords reheat an old debate, I revisit my rebuttal of a similar bike-bashing claim, and I update on how we're going to make buses nippier in Westminster.

Roadworks on TfL's roads tend to finish a lot quicker than off TfL's roads. London's boroughs now can do the same kind of thing on the 95% of roads they control. Yet many don't, passing up free money *and* shorter roadworks. Silly boroughs. 4. It's not really roadworks that's biggest issue... 6/13

'Lane rental' means if you are a water or other utility company working on TfL's 'red routes' you pay daily for roadworks or you can get a 'waiver' if you're going above & beyond delivering safe routes through for walking, wheeling & cycling. TfL has been doing this for years & it works... 5/13

Just makes things worse and does nothing to address inequality or enable people to walk, cycle or catch a bus. 🤷‍♀️
