Like cicadas emerging every 13 to 17 years, every 2 or 3 years or so Silicon Valley emerges to reinvent the bus.

Happy Birthday cycleways #CS3 and #CS6 🧵by @hackneycyclist.bsky.social Latest figures show, when working, the counters have recorded over 24 million cycle journeys (and missed a few million more when offline) #LondonLovesCycling bsky.app/profile/hack...

I do tend to bang on a out this, I know, but - Heathrow has an enormous area on which solar PV could be installed - shelter over surface car parks, dead space separating the runways etc - which could make it close to self-sufficient in electricity. Perhaps exploding substations wouldn’t matter then.

#UnconfinedWalks cloud in the west today so not much of a sunset. Much warmer though

On the third anniversary of my first #UnconfinedWalks post on Twitter, it seems an apt time to bring the thread there to an end and restart here. Today a glorious morning in Richmond Park

Three bikes, capable of carrying 30 children and four adults, make their way back to nursery through the streets of Amsterdaam

Our video nasty of the Colney Lane roundabout continues to make waves. The story features in the latest #BikeIsBest newsletter, as @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social dubs the video “a masterclass on all that is wrong about UK roundabout design”. www.bikeis.best/p/we-know-wh...

If I understand correctly, it is currently being resurfaced and some restrictions apply meanwhile, but it will reopen fully for pedestrians and cyclists, and not for motors - there are no plans for the foreseeable future to spend the necessary money to do that.

Bike journeys have increased by 30% across the West London Bridges from 2018 to 2024. And that is before cyclists get their very own brand new dedicated route across Hammersmith Bridge

For the first time, the Norwegian government has calculated the value to society of the health benefits of increased walking and cycling. 🚲 ~€2.8 for each additional km of cycling 🚶‍♀️ ~€4.2 for each additional km of walking

Removing capacity for motor traffic has cut traffic in West London. Now we can see (again) what increasing capacity will do in East and South East London, when Silvertown opens next month.

Hammersmith Bridge hasn't made traffic worse. Nearby bridges all showing less traffic since 2018, in new TfL data. www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/hamm...

Thought experiment. Most towns have more places for cars to stop for free than for people to stop for free. Maybe we should count the number of "people" spaces, and never off more car spaces than that?

Happy #IWD2025 - let’s create a world where all girls feel safe and free to be out and about in their streets and neighbourhoods!

Another sign for the ages at Manchester People's Museum. This dates from the 1940s. It sometimes feels surprising we have the same issues nearly a century on.

🙌 I need this on a poster for my office!

Manchester People's Museum nail it.

Batman knows what's up.

I'm in Manchester and have 6 hours to basically bum around. I'm starting the right way, with a tram ride!

Timothée Chalamet, welcome to The War on Cars.

What he said. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These are e-bikes. There are at least two vans not on the roads causing pollution, congestion and road danger because of them. And they are safe on Cycleway9 in Chiswick, London. E-bikes are quite good actually.

Yes, they will. #WorldBollardAssociation

Seen near my home. This bike has been here a few weeks and already has a removal notice. Yet cars dumped nearby which haven't moved in months are fine.

⏰ Still time to donate to the LCC appeal & help make cycling possible for everyone. action.lcc.org.uk/everyone In 2025 we want: 1. Monthly Car Free Sundays 2. A Bike For Every Londoner 3. Family Safe Cycling In Outer London 4. A World-Leading Cycling City Centre

We had a great community effort in cleaning a wall of vegetation to enable a lovely surprise coming soon to Barnes.

Our founder, @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social will be at this conference where he'll be busting a some myths and giving some inspiration to the delegates on how the UK is already delivering some great walking, wheeling and cycling projects.

I just passed these two chaps delivering lunch orders to the same address in SW1, in a scene that captures the key options cities have for how to meet demand for food delivery services. One is noisy, polluting & poses a disproportionate risk of fatal collisions www.wearepossible.org/hotwheels

Does anyone happen to know rough cycling rates in Glasgow? (Perhaps @magnatom.bsky.social?)

I had the choice of buying an electric Brompton OR an analogue one. P line vs G Line. I went to look at the P line ex demo tbh. I came away with a G Line because I am sick of told I can’t take my electric bike in hotels, on trains, etc and it’s getting worse thanks to programming like this.

An excellent post by @marksuttonbike.bsky.social on the garbage which was Adrian Chiles and Panorama on ebikes. www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/dec...
