Lucky you. When we did train London/Brussels/Prague/Vienna/Belgrade/Sofia we had to get a bus from Sofia to Istanbul as the railway network want up and running that year. Fab trip tho!!!

That war on cars clearly isn’t working. Utterly shocking. ‘Careless’ doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Prison may not be the answer but a lifetime ban should be from ever driving again.

Bike infrastructure can strengthen bonds between kids and caregivers, foster curiosity about the world and connect families to their neighborhoods. Everyday moments that won't show up in traffic models but are just as valuable—helping children develop, relationships flourish and communities thrive.

This can’t be shared enough. The real #oil deal to get fuel prices low is to organize you don’t even need that fuel. Healthy liveable places to live.

I cycled a few #NCNs in Bucks on Monday. That money wld barely scratch the surfsce just on those. Zero junctions over dangerous rds for a start. And #barriers!!! The other £s you speak of was reduced afaicr but also over 5yrs for the entire country!!!!

In many (esp residential) streets safety measures are only needed as too many motor vehicle movements. So promoting #cycling itself can work to reduce car use making the street safer.

Monday morning outside Rotterdam Centraal, thousands of cyclists stream toward the station in a carefully choreographed flow. What you’re seeing is the power of systems thinking—the bicycle and train both succeed because they work together seamlessly, where each mode extends the reach of the other.

Tbf he had the time and the finance. That’s the most difficult of trying to get to anywhere from the uk by train. Eg I go to #NL frequently to visit my partner but #Eurostar is getting so expensive.

So again why we don’t get take up of those who might (like me, retired, no car) do #tripchaining ie not to work but school run, shopping, socialising by bike. It’s so shortsighted.

I see a lot of people complaining about the undoubtedly stressful conditions at present on London's roads. But I see few people complaining about motor vehicles. Yet in the last 24 hours three vulnerable road users have died after being hit by people driving motor vehicles.

That’s partly presumably because instead of going to a neighbourhood school parents can ‘choose’ and schools can be anywhere miles from home.

The design is great for linear E/W #cycling but many need to be enabled to cycle N/S - or any other combination. So works for commuting but not tripchaining.

They’ve been building a new route to Wisley on the A3 or maybe A30 and I confidently say zero safe space for cycling during the (never ending) works.

One of the best ways to experience fietsgeluk (cycling happiness) is by pedalling together as an expression of community, and the Cycling Without Age Bike Parade in Budapest was no exception. At a time when cycling has become so politically divisive, it was a beautiful, communal act of celebration!

That’s because safe use during works is rarely considered here.

Let’s see what the fine will be, should be proportionate to income incl value of the car which should be impounded and crushed. Plus disqualified for life. No doubt his lawyer will try to plead hardship. #waronmotorists continues.

5) If you are complaining about being ‘nearly’ hit by a bike or seeing cyclists run reds, but you’ve never mentioned the 29,000 motor KSIs or endemic speeding & phone driving; you’re not serious about road danger, you're just unfairly othering cyclists as a uniquely law-breaking collective
What kills pedestrians showing the vast majority are cars, HGVs buses and motorbikes

Apparently teens cannot cycle to school as they have books to carry and art students have portfolios which cannot be carried on a bike - says an anti #C9 person. Also the roads are too dangerous for teens to cycle 🤔

Weirdly this chap restricts who can answer. Still 30k is not much on an #ebike - if the highway had this he could easily do it.
