This is a must watch. Reframing the narrative and bringing the light back, for a moment, on those who are no longer here. And hopefully push the dial further to finally make it stop. www.netflix.com/gb/title/820...

Take a tour of the new cycle parking below Berlin's Potsdamer Platz. Designed for utility, sport, electric and cargo bikes, it enables a smooth transition to public transport, while taking a disused and uncomfortable private retail corridor and reimagining it as a safe and inviting community space.

In my work on side road junction designs, we came up with a model which can be simply measured. If rules H2/170 are a good thing (they are) what are the conditions we need to create where drivers are "likely" to give way to pedestrians?

Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”. Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law. Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

This is the day that Beavis and Butthead became safe streets advocates and joined The War On Cars.

Meanwhile in France, here comes a longer bus with extra capacity, 100% electric with dedicated infrastructure, to not only avoid traffic jams but also to charge up. And that's AFTER the introduction of a new cable car line! 👏👏 www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/actualites/t...

La ville à hauteur d’enfant. Paris, 10 février.

Last night there was a vigil for the first cycling fatality of the year on London's streets. I was there. Here are some thoughts (no paywall). If this strikes a chord with you, please comment on the post and share. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Either something went wrong or this hasn't been fully thought through. It wasn't raining that hard but the ground and kerbside are saturated.

"Recently retired, bored and looking for a community". Shame his dislike for our Mayor led him to online groups steered by far right and disinformation. Should have joined a Repair Café or something. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“If you don’t understand how women’s safety ties in with how we design new spaces, you shouldn’t be working at [the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government] MHCLG” said MP Anna Sabine. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Today in Parliament (2:30pm): A 1.5-hour Westminster Hall debate on women’s safety while walking, wheeling, cycling and running, led by Jess Asato MP. whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal54358 🚲♿️🏃🏻‍♀️

Actually lots of extra help in this guidance with more nuance around different conditions and much of this should be standard practice anyway. It won't change the minds of the folks who are against floating bus stops and it still leaves us with the edge cases of shared use bus boarders plus

Do you use buses in London? I strongly suggest you follow this series of highly educational short videos. Incredible insights into the unnecessary stress bus drivers are put under, and what drivers suggest could work better. #BetterBuses youtu.be/kMBi9mA-ZFE?...

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

You would think killing someone in a similar situation days earlier would have sent some signals to reassess the approach. There is no chain of command, no uniforms, no rules but thuggery. Deplorable.

I’m so saddened to hear of the closure of RoadPeace for financial reasons. The charity did so much good — supporting crash victims, standing with bereaved families at their darkest moments, & tirelessly campaigning for safer roads. I hope one day it can be re-established & continue its vital work.

Let alone their future driving permissions… Why is road crime treated differently to other crime? IMO complacency and acceptance of road danger as inevitable have dulled accountability. Strategy isn’t enough — we need a fundamental root & branch cultural reset. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Regent's canal is a popular🚴‍♀️route - efficient, vehicle free & scenic. But cycling after dark vs during the day feels a vastly different proposition. How socially safe would you feel here at night? @londoncycling.bsky.social volunteers tested 2 new proposed routes to bypass the canal ⬇️

“These new powers do not go far enough to protect pedestrians. It’s disappointing not to see a nationwide prohibition.” Our @charitycat.bsky.social responds to the news that local authorities will receive legal powers to restrict pavement parking. https://www.livingstreets.org.uk/pavement-parking

Critically, we also need the public to support actions that enable older people to live great lives without having to drive for when they fail the eye tests. So the public need to get onboard with no pavement parking, pedestrian priority, denser housing, fewer out-of-town shopping centres, etc etc

To support the DfT’s consultation into modernising the law for powered mobility devices in achieving the best possible outcome for Disabled people, we will be launching explainer information resources, webinars and carrying out consultation sessions.

"Oxford's High Street booming, bucking national trend" And this in a city where we've removed city centre parking and put in a congestion charge. Almost as if it's people who shop, not cars. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2573227...

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

We are concerned about recent talk about cuts to the Cycle to Work Scheme. Though the scheme has some limits, where other forms of transport present barriers to Disabled people, cycling can for some be a method of independent travel that is supported through the Cycle To Work Scheme.

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one. It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution. This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

For the second year in a row, it is estimated that, in cases of abusive relationships, more women committed suicide than were killed by their abusive partner. For Georgia and all the other victims, we ought to do better and stop failing them. www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

1. You're not even safe from cars when you're inside a restaurant eating. 2. They weren't "involved in a crash" anymore than someone hit by a stray bullet was "involved in a shooting."
