introduce yourself with what almost killed you: I am a car driver.

A helpful visual reminder that there are no drop curbs to cross roads for wheelchairs or buggies in most residential areas. ❄️ 👨‍🦽‍➡️

"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...

Well there goes the default response to everything that local councils do that people don’t like 😲 #potholes www.positive.news/science/rese...

Imagine the real fear of being “stuck” behind a cyclist on a quiet wide road that you know well for about 3 seconds. What panic manoeuvre would you do as a driver? Is it worth it? What are the human emotions going on here? What happens when it goes wrong?

Germany shifts over 2 million e-bikes every year. France: over 500,000. Britain? It will be lucky to get to 150,000. Why? Because people need to feel safe to cycle, and that requires serious and sustained government support, which has not been forthcoming. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

As a pedestrian, is your perception of danger higher or lower for a 90kg person on a 15kg bicycle than a 80kg person on a 25kg e-bike? 🤔 (everyone is a pedestrian)

“I don't wanna go far for stuff" My eloquent and powerful rebrand of the 15 minute city.

Countryfile’s Plodcast, sees @blorengeviews.bsky.social at Netherton Foundry. If you're expecting a traditional foray into the English countryside, with tractors & wellies, think again This is about the whirr & clang of ancient machines, old crafts & skills. www.netherton-foundry.co.uk/Countryfile

Yes, do hire me. Hugs are optional 🤗

At Rennes 🇫🇷 train station, it is now possible to rent cargo bikes through the car-sharing operator Citiz.

As regular readers will know, I'm a huge fan of considering cable cars as part of the urban transit solution. And here's Paris, which has just opened a new cable car. DAZZLING. ✨🚠 metro.co.uk/2025/12/16/e...

Yes we do. ⚡️🚲 🤲 🚶🏻‍♀️

What I will never understand is why drive over the pavements to join a queue you know is going to be round the corner?

Top trolling by Yodel today. Second day I’ve waited in vain for the same parcel which keeps being delivered to someone else and I get the “how did we do?” feedback notification 😂

'I can't rely on the bus - it doesn't show up on time!' 'Can you park on your driveway so the bus can keep to time?' 'No! I need my car(s)!' And repeat...

In our UK town centres people often comment that they are full of - “….vape shops, barbers, coffee shops and charity shops” What weighty, bulky purchases are people making requiring the necessity of a car or van to transport them? 🤔

Always a nervy moment when using this contraflow cycle lane. Possibly the worst designed one I know of and still have to use.

When a shared path 🚲🚶‍♂️👩‍🦽‍➡️🧑‍🦯 finishes, another type of unseen/ignored shared path 🚙🚶🚗 begins #BanPavementParking

I once saw somebody who queued for 45 minutes every day to drive 1/2 mile. Motonormativity is such a powerful force, I suspect for a lot of people driving and movement are seen as the same thing. Add in the influence of habits and automatic behaviour and non-car alternatives don't even register

In an end of world scenario I think the only survivors will be billionaires in their bunkers, cockroaches and this old BT telephone box in Shrewsbury. Seriously, what does it take to remove this telephone box? It’s not even got a telephone anymore.

Whatever your understanding on what is an E bike or not and whether no lights and dark clothing are triggering. All I know is that this whole scenario would be a lot safer for everyone if 2/3 of the road width wasn’t used for parking.

Hoping this guide will help Disabled people get better access & especially help venue/public space managers put policies in place that allow cycles as mobility aids- for parks events, markets, outdoor concerts and more

Here’s an open letter for Disabled people to help support using cycles as mobility aids- it’s horrible being challenged when you can’t “just get off and walk” so we hope this will help show enforcement & space managers that cycles are being used as mobility aids #disability #accessibility

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

“- also, you can fit a door or a three-foot length of pipe in it," Not a reason to get a Defender 110. I’ve owned a 110, and would be embarrassed to give those reasons for needing it. I can get an 8ft+ length of pipe on my bike! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
