If we build #ActiveTravel infrastructure at all, it’s piecemeal or eg goes through a poorly lit park then we wonder why cycling for transport is dominated by the least risk averse, ie. young men.

And all because a few people get angry on FB #MyRideOurRight @[email protected] @[email protected]

22 volunteers joined Pencoed Trailblazers yesterday to reopen 180m of an old right of way down toward the Dingle. Different ages, different backgrounds, all working together. Community pride and wellbeing topped up nicely.

We've been here before so excuse me if I'm sceptical. To have _any_ hope of achieving this target, infrastructure is critical - not just "around schools" but full, safe routes/network. Government MUST address problem councils like #Warwickshire that don't deliver on promises, even when ring-fenced funding is awarded.

So, yesterday I had the pleasure (?) of using the Southern Rail service on the Three Bridges to London Victoria line. I had my full sized bike with me. On previous occasions, the bike carriage was indicated by a bicycle logo near the door, next to a wheelchair logo. On yesterday's train, the bicycle logo had been removed.

Anyway, I got on the train and went to tie up my bike only to find that there were no straps. Everything else was the same as it used to be. So I had to stand next to my bike so it wouldn't get flung around on some of the curves (or track changes).

I asked the conductor and was told that they removed the straps due to a "government directive". He didn't look like he was in the mood to be questioned by me, just a passenger (oops, sorry: a customer) so I didn't probe further. If anybody knows what government directive this might be, please let me know (before I write to my MP).

I am concerned that this is the first step towards not allowing full sized bikes at all on their services.

PS - Thameslink, on the other hand, provide an excellent service including carrying bikes and, luckily, this is the service I use more often.

A bike box goes up in Ballintemple, but Cork City Council says it must come down

It's amazing the things that are considered "visual clutter" by LAs

@LauraKT Hi! I love on a dutch barge #BoatLife, I want our cities to be designed for #ActiveTravel, I think cats are brilliant #CatsOfMastodon even when they do this, and I try to design software with #accessiblity and #equitableDesign.
