hey guys i made a seasonal meme

One year after a horrific road death in the Cowgate, what have Edinburgh council done? Excellent protest from Critical Mass, on a dreich day! Great to see @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social & @chasbooth.bsky.social speak to protesters @edcriticalmass.bsky.social

Look behind you? “Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for luxury leisure.” Says govt source. Will that apply to the £4bn a year in fuel duty freeze costs, which go to drivers on the highest incomes the most?

"A city's priorities become as clear as the spaces they choose to maintain in the winter." Creative done with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

Not all delivery trucks are justifiable in cities. We can create jobs, boost sustainable transportation, and create safer streets with better infrastructure through cargo bike logistics. The solutions, designs, and tools already exist. All we seem to lack is the political will to implement them.

KIDICAL MASS CARDIFF LIGHTS AND BRIGHTS RIDE SUNDAY 7th DECEMBER

SPOOK-TACULAR #KIDICALMASS in #Cardiff yesterday afternoon! 🎃 👻

Spotted in Hackney yesterday- these clever cycle racks which illustrate how much more space efficient they are than car parking spaces! 🚙 🚲 🅿️

'The Cycle to Work Scheme has helped prop up the bike market' – £219 million put into bike industry through tax-break system www.cyclingweekly.com/news/the-cyc...

@cardiffcyclecity.bsky.social @cardiffcouncil.bsky.social Cardiff still has far too many 1m wide cycle lanes squashed into the edge of narrow car lanes along with the drains and slippy double yellow lines They are dangerous for many reasons , more than having no lane marked at all

A special thanks to Helen Edwards, whose story shows the real impact of oversized SUVs, and to our partners who helped make this change possible 💚 @cardiffcyclecity.bsky.social @bemoresquirrel.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social @transportaction.bsky.social @healthyaircymru.bsky.social

Cardiff Council is set to become the first local authority in the UK to introduce higher parking charges for SUVs and other heavy vehicles, in a move campaigners say will make city streets safer and fairer

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social

A mother whose teenage son was hit by a car has urged Cardiff Council to bring in measures that will reduce the number of SUVs in the city

Hailey Park / Taff Trail works It’s safe to say that the disruption to walking and cycling in Hailey Park while the Taff Trail improvement works are carried out is causing problems for park users. Works are due to continue for approx 12 weeks.

HAILEY PARK - TAFF TRAIL DIVERSION Heads 🆙 A diversion to the #TaffTrail has been implemented in Hailey Park, Llandaff North. We’re guessing that it’s @cardiff_council contractors starting work on the cycling and walking route through the park.

Imagine closing a major route through the city and not telling anyone… nothing on social media no signs no nothing. horrendous comms from the council here. @roadcc.bsky.social

Come and say hello - we’re at Central Square - just look for the C=CC flags! #CycleToWorkDay

"If a cyclist makes a mistake, he dies. If a car makes a mistake, he also dies." This Dan Donahue video is so good. I love his point that a lot of cyclist hate comes from drivers being mad they have to drive everywhere. I don't think that's the reason for *all* the hate, but it's a factor!

Come and celebrate Cycle to Work Day THIS THURSDAY 7th August 11.00am to 2.00pm Central Square Bike marking by South Wales Police, free maintenance checks, joined by Pedal Power and electric bike retailers. C=CC will be there with the latest edition of our newsletter. Come along and say hello!

More on this warped episode in which Telegraph cycling hater Steve Bird uses Disabled people as cover and puts words in @simonlightwood.org.uk's mouth on a floating bus stop pause - it's shared-use bus boarders, although I think he also inadvertently means shared-use cycle tracks. 1/3

How times have changed. Chris Boardman adjusting his handlebars with an Allen Key during the TTT in 1994.
