  1. Dublin City Council runs regular surveys on what you think of your city. If you'd like to nag them for more cycling infrastructure and active travel infrastructure generally join here dublincc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/fo

  2. How is the #CyclingInfrastructure in #Hawaii? On #Oahu specifically.... Near Pearl Harbor....

    Asking for a friend 😉

    (Edit... Crap... This was supposed to be a #BikeNite #BikeNiteQ If I edit them in, will those hashtags propagate?? )

  3. If more Red Counties and States stayed honestly focused on economics, housing, healthcare, and quality of life mobility and access projects like this we could all breathe easier.

    Greenville County, South Carolina’s “Freeway for Bikes”, primarily the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail, a popular 28-mile greenway connecting Travelers Rest to Greenville along a former railroad corridor, but the county also develops local bike routes, like the one connecting White Horse Road to downtown for commuters, fostering a strong cycling culture with trails, bike lanes, and support from organizations like Bike Walk Greenville.

  4. The weather forecast today was a bit gloomy so there was no #assenliggers group ride. But after walking the dogs and shovelling snow outside our home I went out for a short spin anyway, and it was actually really nice.

  5. A brilliant analysis of how to apply a road tax to cyclists, fairly. Guess what? Auto drivers better expect to pay their fair share finally too.

  6. @IBIKEDublin @ccferrie @OisinOConnor @d_mathieson @clickhere The promised safe cycling infrastructure has turned into a tourism grab - don't get me wrong, I love greenways, but we also need commuting #CyclingInfrastructure - protected and networked and separated from cars. It's not a big ask, and it will have enormous effects on health and prosperity (releasing €10k per unused car per year, cutting cancer, T2 diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, making kids self-reliant & healthy)

  8. For years and years, I thought #cycling was too dangerous a method of transport that it put me off buying a #bike. However, I’m going to share a few details around the city which, in various measures, make #biking safer, easier, more pleasurable, and more fun. We still have a long way to go to get to the levels of #CyclingInfrastructure of the #Netherlands or #Denmark but the #CityCouncil is trying do the right thing.

  9. @ZacSweers I always dreamed of doing something like this to collect road surface quality data when cycling.
    I would love to have an #OpenData set that could be utilized to point out the often abysmal #CyclingInfrastructure cities provide to their citizens.

  10. Photos from today's second parcel run, featuring typical everyday Dutch cycling infrastructure.

    The first photo shows a bus-stop bypass, but the cycle-path is straight and reasonably wide (about 2.5 metres wide for single direction use) so this doesn't inconvenience cyclists.

    The second photo shows a junction with a side road. We have priority and drivers have a place to stop at 90 degrees to the cyclepath and look both ways before they cross.

    The second isn't perfect. Sight lines to the right are less than ideal, and drivers sadly cannot be relied upon to drive safely. But generally this infrastructure works well.

    There's more about Dutch cycle-paths here, including lots of photos:

  11. Mayor of #Ottawa:
    "The debate over closing a specific stretch of Queen Elizabeth Driveway is not about whether or not the city supports active transportation. It’s about where and when are the best opportunities for it."

    Summer is exactly the best time to convert roadways into active use routes.

  16. And now I'm watching the tour.
    France: if your crappy on road cycle lanes are so narrow that even the painted bike symbol doesn't even fit into it then you're definitely doing it wrong !
    More about painted on-road cycle-lanes here:
    aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2014
    Tldr: they're basically useless in almost all cases

  17. A more uplifting sight is some of the cycling infrastructure in . 🚲 🚲 🚲

    It's been years since I've been to New York, and I've seen some pictures and videos online about how much cycling infrastructure has gone in. Much of it is imperfect, but man they're making progress.

    More than once I saw vehicles blocking the bike lanes (like in one of the photos below).

  18. Out #cycling today, I found a new bike path.🥳

    When I'm fully recovered, I aim to ride the full length of it, without stopping!

    Not sure about the lack of a lane line - there's a couple of metres that could be absolute mayhem.🤪

    Seriously, why would a council treat a 20m path to nowhere as a serious Bikeway?

  23. Another solution is investing in pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, such as dedicated bike lanes and walkable paths. This not only helps with the last-mile issue, but also promotes active transportation and a healthier lifestyle. #lastmile #pedestrianinfrastructure #cyclinginfrastructure
