I’m never going to love #cycling, or even particularly like it, but bloody hell does it get me across town quickly. I can be at work inside 15 minutes, where the bus can take twice as long.

In other news, I think the #voi bikes are a bit crap, but a damn sight better than nothing.

Attention Londoners. Delighted tonight to discover that #Islington Council is proposing to redesign Market Road in N1 - parked cars will define westbound lane; a raised track will provide eastbound equivalent.
There are also improvements to pavements, zebra crossings and bus stops, more trees with better beds and rain gardens to absorb water.
It also improves links between Islington and Camden. Get your comments in there. #joiningthedots #cycling #activetravel #London

All the evidence is that #ActiveTravel interventions, whether #SchoolStreets, safe infrastructure or #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods have significant public health benefits. But so often they seem to be siloed as a “Highways” measure @[email protected]

Worsening pedestrian space in the name of safety

Earlier this year, Warwickshire County Council applauded itself on the installation of a new guardrail barrier by a school, yet in doing so it has reduced pavement width, apparently ignoring DfT guidance on accessible space.

The festival was great fun. There was a big fenced-off area of grass, so we let folk have a go at riding the cargo bike.

Lots of interest, and lots of people had a go at riding it; and there were *loads* of kids who wanted to be given rides round the field.

Here's a photo of what most of my afternoon looked like 😁 🚲

What makes a bikeable neighborhood?
As this 2019 #OpenAccess paper
in #JTLU by Salon, Conway, Wang, & Roth suggests, the answer depends in part on age and gender.

"Heterogeneity in the relationship between biking and the built
environment"

Reasons to build #cycle lanes via #CyclingUK: https://www.cyclinguk.org/article/six-reasons-build-cycle-lanes
1. Give space to people walking and cycling – and business booms
2. Cycle lanes move more people in less space, and reduce congestion
3. Spending on cycle lanes and active travel schemes is fantastic value for money
4. Build the bike lanes and people will use them
5. The public wants more bike lanes
