The wand-protected mandatory cycle lane on Pound Lane has FINALLY gone in, some eight months after work started.

It’s the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse, associated with “bold, decisive action”. Peter Silburn was on BBC Radio Norfolk talking about the Heartsease roundabout and how it’s a definite improvement - but bold action is needed by NCC to make Norwich a truly cycling city! youtu.be/zv8HY34aflU?...

"London is statistically very safe for cycling... but there’s still a way to go. “We need more cycle tracks, junction redesigns, crossings, routes through LTNs and more besides if we want more Londoners to switch cars for cycling." Our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social quoted: bit.ly/4ryYy8i

This is the original 'fietsstraat' in Amsterdam In 2016, the City of Amsterdam was interested in starting a pilot with a different road profile. This resulted in a new type of bicycle street for Amsterdam. In line with other bicycle streets, cyclists have priority over cars (cars are guests).

Former UK PM Gordon Brown is providing - voluntarily and not for the first time - information to the police about abuses of power relating to the Epstein files. As PM Brown was briefed against by people such as Alistair Campbell and Peter Mandelson as being ‘psychologically flawed’ ….1/

Mesmerising. Humanity on the move.

She has just settled into playing the piano when the little brothers disturb the calm! 🎹 Willem Bartel van der Kooi was a master at painting children. He captured their spontaneity so naturally that the scene almost feels like a snapshot. 👁️ https://id.rijksmuseum.nl/200108660

The best bike plan starts with a better car plan. Dutch cities don’t just graft bike lanes onto busy streets. They practice “ontvlechten”—untangling cycling and driving at a structural level by restricting car speed, volume, and access. Fewer conflicts. Calmer streets. Networks that actually work.

Make everything about this normalized.

"Annoying children keep wanting to bike to school despite city's best efforts to make it too dangerous."

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

Being killed on these lethal crossings is just an acceptable cost of widespread car use. Nothing can be done about it. bsky.app/profile/thet...

This is where Theodore Wakeman was killed, an uncontrolled crossing of a busy 60mph ring road. “The coroner concluded that Mr Wakeman died in a road traffic accident.” NO! He was killed by Norfolk County Council’s failure to provide a safe crossing. There should have been a bridge or an underpass.

Victim-blaming never helps. We’re rightly appalled when it happens in crime such as sexual assault — and we should be equally horrified when it happens in road danger. Stop blaming those harmed. Focus on dangerous drivers & build a culture that respects cycling & the wider benefits of active travel.

Whether traffic is bad ultimately depends on the mode causing it.

It's funny because it's been pretty clear for years that elites in America get away with more than in the UK, but it seems Americans only figured that out today.

A really good piece from #GCN here and especially the discussions at the end and the final point about needing some visions and plans - that really is the thing lacking in the UK. youtu.be/y4pO1vS0gkc?...

Farage caught in another lie. A big one, despite being years ago, because it demolishes his "Origin Story" as a plucky anti-establishment figure. He's none of those things truly or by choice. That's why he delights at the reversal of Tories being under his control now. youtube.com/shorts/laVQX...

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Now that the streets are in better shape and the melt has revealed #freshKermit I’m certainly preferring the snow-protected #bikenyc lanes over the parking protected! For one: it keeps the idiots & cranks from parking in them! 😀

Wow.

Anyone seen the use of Dutch Kerbs across a side road where there is NO footway, or one on a long curve, where a side road bears off meaning you approach the kerb at 15deg. I could show you such a proposal. They and speed humps are about to be approved, and on the NCN

We’re excited to announce we’ll be running a FREE campaigner’s workshop on Tuesday 24th March with Duncan Dollimore, Head of campaigns at Cycling UK as our guest speaker. What will a mayoral authority mean for Norfolk and Suffolk, and what should we be asking of the new mayor? 1/2

Exceptional hardship defence prevented driving ban. Court weighed impact on him & other employees — but where are the crash victims in that balance? Where does road safety feature? In UK, around 250 people die each year in fatal crashes linked to phone distraction. www.edp24.co.uk/news/2584864...

PM Tusk: Some say that Ukraine should be grateful for everything. The truth is exactly the opposite. The rest of us should be grateful to Ukraine.

Two immigrants top relevant Sunday Times list for most UK tax paid, as "patriot" multi-billionaire Ratcliffe lives as an immigrant in Monaco, to protect wealth so vast it is unspendable, while whining about immigrant UK care workers and NHS cleaners not pulling their weight. FUCK RIGHT OFF, "SIR".

Good signage is such an overlooked part of building a cycle network. If I'm being cynical I'd say it's often neglected because it would otherwise show up how poor the cycle network actually is.

Or, and hear me out, we could copy the Dutch and have staffed cycle garages at stations. Amsterdam, Utrecht and a much smaller one at Gouda. They are usually free for the first 24 hours *and* house the national cycle hire scheme run by Dutch railways.

Zelenskyy received a standing ovation after his speech at the Munich Security Conference.

Coenderstraat, Delft. A simple looking junction, but the more you look, the more you see the Dutch Sustainable Safety design approach in action. Everyone moves in their clear space on the main road, interactions are managed, and people have priority in the side street, Westerstraat. #FridayFun

This is why the toxic car system “cannot be allowed to change”. “Softer forms of mobility” — walking, cycling, sharing buses and trains instead of ego-driven cars — all gnaw away at the power of the fossil-fueled patriarchy. medium.com/@backoffice_...

Victoria Embankment this morning. Why should hard working cyclists taxes go on these wide car lanes when motorists don't bother using them?
