Helsinki breaking up its #bikesharing system for the winter. #seasonality of cycling.

Clara Glachant of the University of Eindhoven said “Our findings suggest that e-cargo bikes may help cultivate a cycling culture both at the household level and the community level. They may reshape ideas of who belongs on the road, who is entitled to space.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The research project, carried out jointly with the universities of Eindhoven, Brighton and Leeds, concluded e-cargo bikes “foster new social norms and cultural identities around family, community and sustainable travel”, with this “everyday practicality normalising cycling as a utility activity”.

New paper out -- Lea gives an excellent summary of the contents and why we are ambiguous about community transport in rural Oxfordshire despite the wonderful work of its volunteers and the essential services it provides to those without a car and access to public buses @oxfordgeography.bsky.social

Sadiq Khan / TfL gave the go ahead for a road tunnel without building an equivalent fixed cycle bridge/tunnel in east london … so critical mass took things into their own hands and turned the Silvertown tunnel into a cycle route.
