A blog on our project website to summarise and contextualise my new publication: it builds on two previous papers in the area of mobility as social practice! blogs.brighton.ac.uk/elevate/2025...

My article on e-cargo biking as a social practice is now available open access online - it summarises the particular version of social practice theory I have developed over the years for understanding mobility, illustrated with 'ecb-ing' as a vaild alternative to driving, especially for families.

Our project is featured on this GCN video - please share!

The Global Cycling Network's recent video featured our ELEVATE participants and research! Hear from @sirichardson.bsky.social @drianphilips.bsky.social @nofixedclass.bsky.social and our #Leeds participants, below! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ0K... #SustainableTransport #EMicromobility

My Conversation article from the Elevate project has just been published. The title speaks for itself! The article follows from our stakeholder workshops on financial access to (e-)(cargo)bikes, reported here: blogs.brighton.ac.uk/elevate/rese... Article: theconversation.com/subsidising-...

I wrote this pre our national workshops on Financial Access to E-(cargo) bikes, thinking about Total Cost of Ownership vs cars, the second car as a particular target for replacement with such bikes, and the potential appeal of the leasing model of ownership (which is so addictive for car ownership).

A Working Paper I just published through UKERC. 40,000 words! But you can read the Executive summaries... Public views on AVs - deliberations and multi-criteria decision analyses... ukerc.ac.uk/publications...

New blog of mine up on our ELEVATE e-cargo bike project website, feel free to share: blogs.brighton.ac.uk/elevate/2025...

📉 Transport emissions are off track. In a new report, Prof @gregmarsden-leeds.bsky.social breaks down the Spending Review, showing why current plans fall short of the CCC’s 2042 net zero goals, and why travel demand reduction must be part of the solution: tinyurl.com/3wanehnp

Investigating Public Views on (Shared) Autonomous Vehicles - my blog about this project has been published by UKERC! Off to Dublin next week (by train and hydrofoil ferry) to present this research at the University Transport Study Group annual conference.

Our workshops on e-(cargo)bike access are imminenet, but still time to register. Please forward to anyone interested in e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, and getting access to them!

ELEVATE is holding #online #workshops on #ebikes & #ecargobikes, focused on finance & access to these types of #emicromobility Flier below for more info & register your interest in attending with this form: forms.office.com/e/FZ8AXCfnS3 Feel free to share with anyone interested! 🚲

@micromobility-its.bsky.social - a heads' up that the (European) e-(cargo)bike regulations of the future are being trailled right now... includes a suggestion that e-cargo bikes might be split over 3 classes? www.cyclingelectric.com/news/electri...

One of our Leeds participant households enjoyed their e-cargo bikes so much, they now have 3, and are promoting the benefits in the national Cycling magazine! Proud researcher moment... 😁🚴‍♀️

The USA are (predictably) using high school, back of the envelope economics to slap taxes on everyone and crash their own economy. The incompetence knows no bounds... x.com/JamesSurowie...

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

This feels appropriate for Black Friday.

What's a good introduction to a new social space? This has got my best friend, cycling, tents, and pirates. A pretty good first impression!
