Another piece of sh!te cycling infrastructure the @infrastructure-ni.gov.uk dreamed up. Comes in handy as a parking spot though. 👏🏻 #poordesign #zeroenforcement #illonlybeaminute #belfast #activetravel #climateaction @greenpartyni.org @sdlp.bsky.social @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

“I’m only waiting on the recycling centre to open” Sh!te cycle network design and lack of enforcement enables this excuse. @infrastructure-ni.gov.uk @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

Read all about Belfast's first #KidicalMass cycle ride. Tldr: a soggy triumph! belfastcyclecampaign.com/campaigns/f/...

North Belfast Feeder ride ready to join Ride On Belfast ##ROB25 @cycul.bsky.social

Just some kids biking to school on a #bikebus in Portland, Oregon...with the #unipiper

Bike Week in Belfast. No cycle lane + no bus lane = traffic congestion. But hey Happy Cycling. 🙄 #getinthesea @infrastructure-ni.gov.uk #bikeweek2025 #climateaction @sustrans.bsky.social @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

Make Cars Small Again 😉 Ever-rising height of car bonnets a ‘clear threat’ to children, report says www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

HAPPENING THIS SATURDAY!!! Don't miss out! Be a part of Belfast's first Kidical Mass 🎉 Register below

Bus lanes - in the absence of cycling infrastructure - have a purpose. But here we are on Ormeau during bus lane operational times…cyclist being forced out. Get in the sea @infrastructure-ni.gov.uk @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social #activetravel #climateaction

Cycling and Coffee. Two simple pleasures. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social #bikeweek2025

Will be interesting to hear the outcomes @cycul.bsky.social @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social @andccg.bsky.social

This is some of the most cost-effective infrastructure out there. The investment is minimal, the returns are huge. What is stopping us? @deptinfra.bsky.social

🤔

"Bike lanes restrict road space. Bike lanes have turned streets into parking lots, with residents unable to shop, get kids to events, and seriously impact emergency services & Wheel-Trans." Actually, no. 100% wrong. Car dependency & too much driving with increasingly large vehicles does all that.

How many cigarettes worth of air pollution are kids breathing in during school drop off and pick up? School streets should be car-free.

If your city can afford to build roads everywhere, it can afford to build cycle networks too. It’s not about money — it’s about priorities. It’s a political choice

Three weeks until Belfast's first Kidical Mass!! Get your (free) tickets. Don't miss out!!

Ill be joining Wildflower Alley to showcase the murals commissioned for their 10th Anniversary. Come and see the Urban Art truck, which was designed to bring art to small green spaces such as alleys via ebike. 😀

This is what I find time and time again on the bike. You make connections. You feel part of the city. It changes your relationship with where you live.

Thanks to BBC NI for highlighting this issue. Cycle lanes have to be car free (at a minimum) to encourage cyclists of all abilities to get around by bike!

A traffic free Royal Avenue. If it can be done for Belfast Marathon - why not trial it every Sunday?!? @healthybelfast.bsky.social @sdlp.bsky.social @niplanner.bsky.social @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

Didn't know this existed. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social Nice to see.

📣 Kidical Mass is coming to Belfast 🥳 Come and join our inclusive, family friendly, mass cycle ride. Sat June 14th 1.30pm Meet at Nuala with the Hula Ride ends at Friends of the Field (Lower Botanic Park) Event free, but registration required: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1299225822...

“I’m an avid cyclist but...” Exactly the problem. We don’t need infrastructure just for avid cyclists, we need it for those new and/or apprehensive riders who are terrified of riding through their cities.

Another great turn out for #CriticalMass!

People who've biked for decades may not realize how daunting it is for a novice to even understand what options exist. (I've experienced this myself -- I was in my 30s when I bought my first bike.) Nice to see AARP offer this primer.

Last Friday of the month already??!! That means it's time for #CriticalMass. Big Fish 6.15pm All Welcome ☺️

Dozens of Dutch children and families cycling to football practice in perfect safety on protected cycle tracks, cargo bikes and packed bike parking. This is how it should be.

Beautifully put 😍

I never get tired of these reminders that Amsterdam's cycling infrastructure did not always exist. They built it. Took bold decisions. Went in a different direction...and boy did it pay off!

We could start with Hill street or Botanic Avenue. Don't think they'd go for Ormeau Road somehow.

“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs and neglected public transport systems, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.” Via @theguardian.com

Real!

Tweets about urban biking in #Dutch cities are routinely replied to with some version of “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.” The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses and straw man arguments about why they can’t make clearly smarter decisions.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Your regular reminder that Amsterdam wasn't always the cycle friendly city we know today.

Dom is right. The underpass is in a terrible state. Broken glass and rubbish everywhere. It would be great to see this properly maintained

When it comes to designing cities for biking & walking, Ghent (Gent) Belgium may not be as well known as Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Paris (yet), but it’s one of the most inspiring cities in the world. I was honoured to do some work with them in 2019. Watch @streetfilms.bsky.social’s fantastic video:

This is a constant problem in Belfast that could be easily remedied @deptinfra.bsky.social

Want kids to cycle to school? Here's what it takes: 1. Safe, protected cycle tracks on main roads 2. No through motor traffic near the school 3. Plenty of secure bike parking 🎥 Watch how the Netherlands gets it right👇

Yes! SUVs are too big and too heavy for city driving. If you insist on owning one (and I think there is a debate to be had here) it should cost you.

📣 "Gender gap and barriers to cycling widening – survey findings" @scotnational.bsky.social spotlighting our findings on how safety concerns, poor infrastructure and driver behaviour are putting women off cycling. Let’s break down these barriers #MyRideOurRight

People who cycle should not be getting stuck in traffic @infrastructure-ni.gov.uk @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social #whereareourcyclelanes? #cycling #activetravel #belfast

There was this whole thing where people said the French wouldn't embrace bicycle commuting like the Dutch because of inherent cultural traits and these lanes would be ghost towns. Instead, obviously, bike usage exploded as soon as the infrastructure was made available. These are all lessons people!

Beginning and end of #CriticalMass 😁

It's #CriticalMass this Friday!! With any luck we will be riding in the light! At least for a bit 😀 6.15. Big Fish. All welcome 🚲

Your daily reminder that spending on active travel infrastructure is not a cost, it's an investment.

Accurate 🙄
