I am positively verklempt over this news. @hollybruce.bsky.social has been a warrior for active travel in Glasgow and a warm, compassionate and tireless advocate for change at the junction where #EmmaBurkeNewman died in 2023. I could not be more pleased. Ride on, Holly! 🚲 💚💚💚

Three years today and the first news story is the death of a cyclist, killed by the driver of a lorry in a collision at a junction in Paris 12e. Coeur brisé, j'envoi toutes mes condoléances à sa famille et son entourage. #EmmaBurkeNewman @accidentsvelo.bsky.social www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/par...

I'm all for educating cyclists about how little a driver can see when they take the time to look. I'm also still waiting for bike box enforcement and more driver education from LB. This was 22/8 on Leith St where we are still waiting for cycle-first traffic signals. Update @chasbooth.bsky.social ?

In January 2023, 22-year-old cyclist Emma Burke Newman was killed exiting Glasgow's George V Bridge when a lorry driver making a left turn struck her as she pulled out of the bike box. Yesterday I visited the newly redesigned junction. This change didn't happen by accident. 🧵

Another Monday, another email to my elected leaders about cycling safety. When all we have is paint, could we maybe compel drivers -- and especially those in buses and taxis who require special licensing to operate -- to obey the Highway Code and stay out of bike boxes? Cool, thanks.

How are you marking the two-year anniversary of the death of cyclist #EmmaBurkeNewman to avoidable road violence? How about writing to your MSP about cuts to the Active Travel budget? #NoBackpedalling
