Great to join mums, dads, kids and teachers today scooting and cycling to school on the Solve The School Run bike bus and to celebrate Rosendale Road School Street’s 1st birthday. Thanks to @willnorman.co.uk for joining us this wet and soggy but joyous morning! @solveschoolrun.bsky.social

Not all delivery trucks are justifiable in cities. We can create jobs, boost sustainable transportation, and create safer streets with better infrastructure through cargo bike logistics. The solutions, designs, and tools already exist. All we seem to lack is the political will to implement them.

Forced car dependency robs society of any chance at financial freedom. America doesn't have a "love obsession with cars", they simply have not been given a choice.

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers. It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year. Of course I have. The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious. Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

Bike advocates in Princeton have put out an urgent message for supporters to come to the Council Meeting tonight (400 Witherspoon St or Zoom at 7 p.m) A platoon of angry car-drivers are expected to speak out in protest at the newly-installed buffered bike lanes on North Harrison Street.

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

Fire at James St apparently so no trains across the river this morning. Thankfully the ferry is actually running this morning and it’s a beautiful- if crisp - day for it. And because it’s a commuter ferry, we don’t get subjected to THAT song 😂 #merseyferry #activetravel #bikesky #liverpool

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job. To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

We are in the final stretch, giveaway ends at 7pm!

"However, police say they can only be legally operated on sidewalks, pedestrian trails, and parking lots. Where there are no sidewalks, they can be carefully operated along the left edge of roadways, facing traffic, with other pedestrians." THIS IS INSANE!

Design vehicles to fit the streets rather than streets designed to fit the vehicles.

I vote:

When people ignorantly label "cyclists" as entitled for wanting equitable infrastructure, just remember, they're oppressing people with mobility challenges as well with that rhetoric.

It’s November 7th and a neighbour has their Christmas tree up in their bay window…

Car brand BYD's new SUV ad pokes fun at people walking and cycling, comparing them to Horse & Carts. It joins a long list of car ads that sell a false promise of convenience and aspiration while punching down at sustainable transport modes. So I made it a bit more realistic...

Let me sum up the new "everything else seems old fashioned" campaign from BYD: Cars are cool everything else isn't. (breakthrough stuff here 🙄) The only thing more old fashioned than riding a horse is positioning a car as the better way forward.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

I agree with a pay per mile driving charge for EVs. But a key fact that many are missing is that fuel duty has been frozen since 2010 and petrol is cheaper now than 2 decades ago. It's about time conventional car drivers actually started paying a fair share too. www.theguardian.com/business/nil...

Urbanists anytime they step outside and immediately notice the problem of cars everywhere.

On the blog: The clocks have gone back, nights are drawing in – it can only mean one thing: it’s time for official ‘road safety’ organisations to preach their annual messages of “be safe, be seen” to people travelling outside of motor vehicles... fiets.uk/2025-11-06/t...

Pay-per-mile a really effective policy because it encourages drivers to think about each trip they take, rather than driving automatically just because they’ve already paid the fixed costs of owning a car.

My email to @cyclinguk.bsky.social. I do not support transphobia, and I do not support organisations that are transphobic.

I had to look twice to see that this was not @thebeaverton.com. Headline was really from The Globe and Mail.

This morning I saw the driver of a massive shiny Defender panic to a crawl because there was a puddle on the road And yes, they'd paid 5 grand extra for the Action-Man Fantasy accessory pack

Always is the case. Same for Liverpool from city hall. The only real way of getting people out of cars when considering total potential travel time is to bike; especially in cities. This isn’t an x city problem. It’s an every city problem. And making cycling safe is the only realistic solution.

Not wrong.

Had to quickly pop out to grab cat supplies as I forgot them last night. Had to lock it to the trolley bay as the cycle parking is shit & only racks at Halfords are not secure. Halfords no longer sell reusable rim tapes & made the BS claim they're being phased out as they fold & didn't like being

Shame on Doug Ford and all his caucus for being on “Team Dead Child” - for trying to cross the road in front of their school. (Yes I know they are shameless ghouls.) But shit - we are talking about the safety of young children, folks. #Ontario School zones. It’s grotesque.

Ford is making a change to the law, that will result in additional deaths and injuries. Does Ford have any evidence that his alternative is better than the photo radar? If not, would the same legal logic that killed the bike lane removals apply?

The blood of children and pedestrians will be on the hands of the Ontario Government

“The Ford Govt in Ontario has passed a controversial omnibus bill banning municipalities from installing speed cameras. Ford says it will make the province more efficient & reduce red tape. It won’t do either, and he knows it. It might get him “speeder votes” though. This will kill more people.

3h free in a few outlets. It‘s a first step.

Noticed quieter roads this week? 🚸 If it's half term in your area, chances are you have. 🚗 In some areas the school run has been reported to increase pollution and bus times by an enormous 50% compared to school holidays! ❓What's it like where you live this week? #schoolrun

Spooky quiet in Oxford during “rush hour” when it's school holidays

Runstraat, Amsterdam in 1993 and today. Seems almost impossible there used to be car parking when you're walking down these busy, narrow streets!

I wonder what is in the DfT's assessment of the causes 👀 Feels like another reason to do something about the troubling and dangerous increase in car bonnet height. Chances are big SUVs won't be mentioned at all #elephantintheroom #carspreading www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s that time of year again when “safety” organisations crack out their victim blaming campaigns telling pedestrians and people on bikes to dress for battle rather than their destination and wear high vis clothing to be seen instead of focusing on the real source of danger - drivers.

The design of your city can help make you healthier, study finds. (That should be ANOTHER study) “A new study in Nature found when people moved from less walkable U.S. cities to more walkable ones, they increased their levels of physical activity & saw health benefits.” www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“

Hey Daily Mail. You know what really destroys hard work and aspiration? That’s right. House prices that bear no reality with affordability. LVT-style taxes don’t punish hard work and aspiration; they punish greed. It wasn’t those that got house owners that “wealth”. It was the year they were born.

“This is a crime that is very serious and it’s going largely unsolved in this country. We need to take it much more seriously, because if you’re a victim of bike theft, you are a victim of crime”

Are we finally at the point after decades of evidence where the ol chestnut about republicans being the “deficit hawks” while Democrats = “tax and spend” can finally be buried six feet under, or naw?
