I really enjoyed participating in the Cycling & Society symposium at @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social this week. I managed to get a photo of @ficrawford.bsky.social presenting our paper looking at how different impairments affect people’s participation in cycling.

I do enjoy seeing an old sign underneath a newer one.

I'm not sure this was the intended use of the new cycle lane on Argyle Street.

A fascinating choice of where to put the crossing and street clutter. Spotted in Strasbourg.

I'm remotely attending the "Rethinking Accessibility: Insights from Transport Data Science" event at University of Exeter this morning. @rafa-vdz.bsky.social and I are presenting some of our ongoing work of producing public transport accessibility indicators at the @ubdc.bsky.social.

Have you got a few minutes to answer some quick questions on social and environmental policies? One of my grad students would be very grateful for your help (UK only, sorry) research.sc/participant/...

I enjoyed this opinion piece. Sadly, I think the argument applies across a lot of transport research. I find it quite depressing sometimes. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There is still time to apply to join us on our MSc Urban Transport programme in September.

Not long left to apply for this PhD scholarship. With such an interesting project and excellent supervisors, it's a great opportunity.

There is something deeply absurd about the modern pedestrian crossing. You press the beg-button and then you wait. And wait. And wait. Interminable wait times reveal a deeper pathology. The pedestrian is, at best, an afterthought - at worst, an obstruction. www.eta.co.uk/news/pedestr...

Several new people and orgs added to this starter pack since I first shared, so worth rechecking if you saw it previously. Also, 📢 @gregmarsden-leeds.bsky.social and @jilliananable.bsky.social have now joined the party! 🎉

New fully funded PhD studentship from @rafa-vdz.bsky.social has just been advertised! Exciting opportunity to work on 'Big Data' relating to transport accessibility and employment with a fab team including Rafa and @nickbailey37.bsky.social at @ubdc.bsky.social www.sgsss.ac.uk/studentship/...

If I were looking for a PhD scholarship, this would be it. Great supervisors and a very interesting project.

I'd love to have this in Glasgow.

No BBC, the bollards aren’t “crash prone”. The cars are. 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

It wouldn't be Christmas without her.

I'm always jealous of everyone's Spotify Wrapped stats bc I'm an Elder Millennial who still buys music and listens w/iTunes/Music, so I've always missed out. BUT NOT THIS YEAR. I exported my library on January 1 and used #rstats to make my own www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/12...

Kind of wishing I hadn't looked at the CO2 concentration on the Glasgow Subway this morning.

@Virtuocity, we are looking for a programmer to join a team of software developers undertaking research in road safety and new technologies. Come and join our team: Immersive Simulation Programmer jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

These are the people from our division at UoG that I have found so far: go.bsky.app/U5zNU7r

I've finally discovered Bluesky! I've found some great starter packs for transport, but most are North America focused. Thought I'd set up a UK focused one. Let me know who else I can add! [Many official orgs not over here yet - please let me know if they pop up] go.bsky.app/jKPCeT

A new starter pack: go.bsky.app/LaeKYA2 . Let me know who else belongs in the comments.

I do enjoy the data generated by a bit of snow. It shows so clearly how the street space is used.

We're currently looking to recruit a Research Associate on the GALLANT project based at the Urban Big Data Centre. The job requires expertise in data-intensive research methods and familiarity with social and/or ecological indicators. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DKK242/r...

🚶‍♀️ Walking in Oslo is up by 6 % from 33 to 39 % from 2013-2014 to 2022-2023. This is not counting walking to and from public transport. If that was included, walking would have a modal share of 60-70 %

A great summary of some of the transport implications of the recent UK budget: ukandeu.ac.uk/budget-2024-...

My PhD student just uploaded a pre-print of her first paper. She presents a scoping review of the impact of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) on house prices. Countries with accessible data have many more studies. ideas.repec.org/p/osf/osfxxx...

Our new paper is now out in the Journal of Transport Geography. We use Space Syntax measures (along with other factors) to look at what sorts of routes cyclists using Strava choose.

Oh hello Britain 😳 That blue line is activity in the UK spiking past all of the other countries on Bluesky right now. Welcome, and invite a friend to join us! bsky.app/download

I think Historic England must have been watching @techconnectify.bsky.social video on the benefits of awnings: historicengland.org.uk/images-books...
