Cabin Pressure is honestly one of the best British sitcoms of the 21st Century so far - if you haven't heard any of it yet, treat yerself

From a space for cars to a place for people, in one of my favourite past client cities, Groningen Netherlands. A powerful before-&-after transformation 1960s vs 2021. In recent years one of the city’s biggest challenges has been where to park all the bikes. Seriously. Imagine having that problem.

if you haven't heard Cabin Pressure, treat yourself. He's marvellous as Herc Shipwright

Something amazing is happening in Astoria. We're in the early days of a major shift, you can feel it

Do YOU like lists of Haunted and/or spooky objects? Oh BOY do I ever have the list for YOU!

Yes, even in the tube strikes of yesterday, London transport was still a more effective (and affordable) transport network than the rest of the country.

Spotify very confused, but maybe this is the Kneecap/Skinwigs collab we didn’t know we needed?

Happy World Bicycle Day.

Omg this tool makes it so easy, I was only clicking to check and it's done, might do it again later with some personal tweaks just to underline it

Before (1970) / After (2026) the metamorphosis of Rue des Martyrs in the 9th arrrondissement of Paris. The trees in the background were planted around 2005, the tree on the left (with others in the back of the photographer) in 2020.

Dublin is rolling out up to 300 on-street secure bike hangars for residents. The programme uses Fietshangar units, the same product that has been running on the streets of Rotterdam for over 25 years. Read more: buff.ly/3sIoK9a

After extensive roadworks, starting in 2025, the redesign of Socrateslaan in Utrecht is nearly complete! The work has transformed an avenue dominated by cars into a greener and safer one significantly more attractive for local residents, pedestrians, and cyclists, without banning for cars.

Hello, boutique cognoscenti. It's the morning after Show One at the Rik Mayall Festival, and, well. I NEVER talk like this, but this show is just so good. I never make such claims. But this is the colours-to-the-mast project. Have a go on www.cornershopshowdown.com - you can play my adventure game!

Before (2023) / After (2026) Rue de Tournon in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The works were done in 2023 and the trees planted at the end of 2024. The change was approved by the Historic Monuments Authority and the Senate, which is at the end of the street, just behind the photographer.

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services. Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

My spoiler-free is up now on Womansplaining and it won't cost you a penny read. TLDR: Like being hit by a truck. 5 stars.

Tom Gray is amazing at this sort of thing. An impassioned speech to the Ivors Academy. Inspiring stuff.

This week on @hyperfixedpod, we talked to hacker Martha Root, who deleted a white supremacist dating site live on stage a a hacker conference in December, but not before downloading the info of all its users and finding the identity of the site’s owner.

What if I told you one study in Manchester found that shade from street trees reduced surface temperatures by an average of 12°C, and concrete surfaces shaded permanently by a bank of trees were cooled by up to 20°C during a heatwave? You might not believe me. But it's true…👇

This evening Wednesday 27 May 2026, 7-8:30pm the #Buxton community screening and discussion of the National Emergency Briefing film hosted by the University of Derby at their Devonshire Dome campus. Free to attend.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Avant / Après le retrait des deux files de places de stationnement et la végétalisation Rue Poulet dans le 18ème arrondissement de Paris. Les débats approximatifs sur la gentrification portent sur d'autres poulets maintenant ceci dit ;)

Just one week away from our inaugural Cornershop Showdown show in Droitwich. I probably should have put as much effort into the show as I have into the website, but it's become a bit of a labour of love... Have a look and play my thrilling new ADVENTURE GAME set in 1976: www.cornershopshowdown.com

It’s great! Sign up

Every time we see hundreds of bicycles outside a high school, we no longer despair for the human race. To Dutch people, it barely registers. But this scene represents something profound: freedom and autonomy for young people—without the stress, cost or danger that comes with needing to drive a car.

Avant / Après Rue Mouton-Duvernet dans le 14ème arrondissement de Paris. Cette section entre deux parcs a été piétonnisée et végétalisée en 2024, depuis la végétation a bien poussé.

Today feels a good day to repost my most popular blog of last year www.freewheeling.info/blog/swiss-hs2

No. By my calculations this £2.5bn HS2 saving* from reducing speeds** is less than the cost of holding up the project and doing the reset in the first place. It's certainly less than the cost of the design changes at Euston. How embarrassing for everyone involved.
