La transformation spectaculaire de l’avenue de Bouvines. Paris, 9 avril.

Working mum and teaching assistant Hannah, has seen her mornings transformed by having access to a bike - saving time and money along the way. “My son loves the journeys to work: when he sees his helmet he goes ‘bike!’. He loves looking at his surroundings on the way, ringing the bell as we go.”

1.2 million people displaced in Lebanon due to Israel's attacks. That's nearly twice the population of Glasgow. It's obscene.

Lovely ride (with headwind) from Perth to Arbroath today. Many bits of new cycle infrastructure to use. Great quality. Well done @anguscouncil.bsky.social 👏

Cats eh

Happy First Contact Day 🖖🏽

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Frans Halsstraat, Amsterdam in 1982 and today. Same street and same buildings, but removing car parking gave it back to the people who live there.

Been thinking a lot about one of the best books I've read in recent years - @edconway.bsky.social's Material World. Raw materials, the science behind their use, supply chain bottlenecks, and related challenges past and current. Just discovered it's on audiobook on Spotify, and well worth a look.

It's fantastic to learn that the extension to Govan Old is already under construction. This will really improve the visitor experience and improve access to the Govan Stones. The people behind Govan Old sound like they're really switched on and get things done. jmarchitects.net/govan-old-pa...

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

The other side got a look in on the news! "I'm constantly being forced onto the road or crossing in between parked cars where they shouldn't be and where you've not got visibility of the traffic." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The endless complexities of Hope Street. #Glasgow #Photography #Architecture

Very Scottish looking weather too that morning 🌦️ It's not the weather. It's not the hills. It's the streets, and what we choose to do with them.

Fantastic plans to reclaim space from vehicles along the entirety of Vienna's Ringstrasse (which circles the old centre of the city). Placemaking, greening, junction narrowing, intro of a protected cycleway, etc., to a place currently dominated by vehicles.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

"It makes us feel good about ourselves." 🚲 #BikeabilityScotland is giving young people across the country the skills and confidence to cycle safely on the road - supporting happier, healthier and more active lives.

LAST DAY, tell Transport Scotland to replace the urban M8 with an urban road! removethem8.org.uk

“Mr La Forge, set course for a town called Malice.”

With apologies to Alex Chilton, I think this could well be the best power pop song ever written

Harley Benton, you have no right making such beautiful knock-off guitars.

Have you responded to Transport Scotland's consultation yet? 🛣️ We have a 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝗶𝗻-𝗮-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 to Remove the M8 Woodside Viaducts & invest £500m in sustainable transport connections instead 🚶🚴🚌🚎🚃 Find out more at: RemovetheM8.org.uk Deadline: 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝟮𝟱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

And again 🔁 Took some pics this time…

Investment in alternative, sustainable transport modes, twinned with restrictions on private car access gets you 👇

Transit ridership in the Paris region is now 5% higher than it was in the pre-Covid period, as car traffic along the Paris ring highway & within the center city is 15 to 20% lower than pre-Covid. www.institutparisregion.fr/mobilite-et-...

It's been a sustainable transport day all-in, even with the Southside-Central trains still off. Used a Voi bike to get into town this morning - surrounded at all times by dozens of others on bikes. Parking at Queen Street Station tells a story about the change that's happening in Glasgow. 🚲🚲🚲

Our latest #WalkingCyclingIndex for Edinburgh shows people are feeling safer walking, wheeling and cycling in the city 🚶‍♀️👨‍🦽🚴‍♀️ Almost half of residents say they want to cycle more - and there is undeniable support for continued investment in active and sustainable travel 👇

Used the Subway to get across town tonight and... ooft. The difference having these new contactless gates & slick new trains. Feels like we're living in the future. Street to train in seconds.

Miss that dome... (non-blurry version). #Glasgow

This is the worst map I have ever seen.

Two big Glasgow Subway announcements to cheer about this week: 💳 Contactless payment now live (might seem minor but removes the queue for a ticket, means you can breeze straight down to the trains) 🕦 Moving towards full-day opening hours on Sunday (and extra late on Fri & Sat)

Glasgow when we finally get Sunday Evening Subway services

Glasgow! IT'S HAPPENING!

Like many European cities swept up in the promise of the automobile, in the 1930s Aarhus paved over its namesake river to accommodate rising motor traffic. In the 1990s, this mistake was reversed, and today the restored waterway boasts one of the most vibrant pedestrian environments in Scandinavia.🧵

Important news for EU citizens with settled status in the U.K. who naturalise - Home Office says you CAN use your other passport. Made change to gov.uk two weeks after telling everyone British dual nationals could not www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

With the high level Central trains out of action, like a lot of people, I'm using the lower level to get around. I've thought for a while, if this was marketed as the part-underground S-Bahn line that it is, perception of public transport in Glasgow might be a little different.

Spirit of Eden. Gorgeous album. And total departure from the sound of all previous Talk Talk LPs. I thought I preferred the next one (Laughing Stock) a bit more but the more I listen to SOE, the more I love it. Rewarding, subtle, influential record.

"Previous research has shown adults walking or cycling are 14% more likely to die in a collision when the car involved is an SUV; children are 77% more likely. For children under 9, the risk of fatality is three times higher if struck by an SUV." Just ban these killing machines.

Pretty stark stats 👇 • Car bonnets getting drastically taller since 2010. • More and more SUVs on our streets - now 56% of all new car sales in UK, EU & Norway. • Adults walking or cycling are 14% more likely to die in a collision when the car involved is an SUV; children are 77% more likely.

Today (11 March) local authorities have been given new powers to install side road zebra crossings at junctions across Wales. This new legislation will give pedestrians priority at side streets and help support people to walk and wheel more.  Find out more bitly.livingstreets.org.uk/4lvHEFC

That it's an unambiguously good thing to be connecting around 500 homes - relatively cut off from routes to the centre and shops - to East Kilbride's existing cycle network.

...is this good

Just walked past Union Street in Glasgow and it looks like firefighters are still firing water into the building even now (I assume as a precaution at this stage).

Don't have much to say that's not already been said, but it's dreadful to think of the businesses & people affected directly. It's also a miracle it didn't spread further and for that we should be very grateful. Like others, I went to bed last night fearing the absolute worst for the station.

The current view along Renfield Street. It seems like the flames have been quelled, although I'd really love to have it confirmed that Glasgow Central is out of danger.
