Almost 900 fewer people have been injured on Welsh roads since the default speed limit was lowered from 30 to 20mph two years ago Casualties on 20 to 30mph roads between July and September 2024 were the lowest for the three month-period since records began in 1979 👏 Evidence-led policy

You join us live from Danny Dyer’s birthday drinks.

What if we put cameras on the signs though, just in case?

Eeeeeyyyyy recording a podcast whilst driving is a terrible idea! 👍 @thewaroncars.bsky.social youtu.be/8OcXd2xezwM?...

First day in Gdansk for @velo-city-conference.com with my bike still on the way, so it was a walk around the centre... More in the blog... www.rollinginthecity.ca/blog/cobbles... #transportation #streets #cities #bicycles #cycling #fujifilm #streetphotography #documentaryphotography

Avant / Après la piste réalisée en 2022 à Mons-en-Baroeul dans le Nord. Elle ne longe pas toujours la route. Le coût: 400.000 euros pour 600 mètres. Deux ans entre l'idée et la réalisation, dont trois mois pour que la commune récupère la propriété du terrain restée par erreur à l'usine voisine.

Oh.

Continued driving on the wrong side of the road at 50mph despite being blinded by the sun & his wife warning him about oncoming vehicles. Caused life-changing injuries to the oncoming driver. The sanction: a measly £3k fine & 1 year driving ban What a joke our laws are www.bbc.com/news/article...

A productive weekend with @nicthedoor.bsky.social checking out the many good things happening in Nanaimo and Victoria, plus a stop at the Dutch Street Market on Granville to share some LFTD. Keep an eye on Nic's channel for more... #cycling #bicycles #transportation #cities #urbanism #street

It's disappointing that the government's plan to get people moving is focused around "Go for a jog" rather than, as the evidence suggests, building environments that encourage everyday incidental exercise: the ability to walk to amenities liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/388...

A good reminder that the main reason people travel anywhere - especially older people - is to get to shops. If we make driving to shops compulsory we can't be surprised when people get no exercise. Mind you, 2 things can be true and the lazy arses in my village who drive 300m to the Co-op can do one

Raised intersections are good. Design manuals which are too afraid of these are weak.

Here's our very own @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social with @psimonk.bsky.social and @ianwalker.bsky.social talking to Conor Dunne of Global Cycling Network about what @theguardian.com called "the most dangerous cycle spot in Great Britain". Of course there's way more to it than that!

Oh, the irony ... 'Lee Twamley, photographed at the front of Britain First’s “March for Remigration” in Manchester this month, has served prison time for trying to smuggle migrants into the UK.' via @spottednewsoff.bsky.social

The competition must be fierce!

Compare with the tarmac swathed local streets in the UK.

Every car in your city represents $8-12K/year being sucked out of your local economy instead of being spent on housing, goods & services. I wish more parking-obsessed retailers & elected officials understood this. #WindshieldBias #CarBlindness

Rode our bikes 5 miles along NCN Route 696 and went to a Lego cafe in Bingley. What a brilliant way to spend a few hours! £3.50 to rent a Lego set and relax for a while - what a handsome fellow he turned into 🦜 Made good use of the NCN signage too as Bingley is a bit of a mess cycle-wise 🫣

Transport policy in the UK is broken. By increasing rail fares each year while freezing fuel duty, the government is increasing the number of trips driven and cars on our roads. Entirely self-defeating.

The retired solicitor — who had been captured on video using her phone while driving — tried to blame the cyclist for "banging" on her roof. Video showed otherwise, and judge not best pleased with the retired solicitor.

My spicy take: Suggesting all car parks should be covered in solar panels is textbook greenwashing and further cements poor land use and car dominance, both physically and psychologically.

Sitting waiting for some car fixing and a gentleman has just dropped his car off and his daughter(?) is talking to him and isn't sure what he's talking about, clearly a little foggy - he's perfectly fine to drive around though? They've wandered off and he's looking at a family SUV 👍

British people online: "We should murder people who do wheelies"

When are journalists going to look at the Covid-years drop in accidents and treat is as EVIDENCE and not some anomaly to be waved away. When we drive less, the roads are safer - that's the story and always will be news.sky.com/story/what-d...

I don't get down to London ever, at all. So seeing the number of people on bikes at midday on a thursday in the City was CRAAAAZZYYYY

This is a nice touch 🌳 A very grey City of London street about to get some much-needed green

ICYMI. A report for Active Travel England on estimating the benefits of active travel was published last week. Looks to be a helpful summary of some of the key appraisal issues and identifies the interventions that can do badly under the current approaches (eg traffic reduction & area wide schemes)

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

Watch this and think about how much time it takes to pass these cyclists. How long the driver has to wait. It feels like ages. It's 90 seconds.

This was taken down - Apparently you're not allowed to sell ebikes on eBay unless you're a business?? If you're after a great ecargo bike for around £2300 let me know! 📦🚲💨

Have you heard of the 3-30-300 🌳 rule? Everyone should be able to: 🌲 See at least 3 trees from their home 🌳 Have 30% tree canopy cover in their neighbourhood 🍃 Live within 300 meters of a high-quality green space

WHO DID THIS, MY MUM IN THE 1980S?

We have a period of about a month where we have 2 cars (old one going away) and I already really REALLY dislike it

Here's a new take on my Lessons from the Dutch... Playing a round of #LFTDBingo with @nicthedoor.bsky.social in Eindhoven, and seeing how many Dutch cycling design elements and everyday cycling behaviours we could tick off... What would your city score in #LFTDBingo? youtu.be/gpRO7vIM_VQ?...

How does this keep happening? How does the tantaslising mention of an eBike excite editors more than the outrage at the recklessness of the driver? This poor woman - shame on the BBC

When I complained about a similar framing of this story previously, the BBC told me that it was newsworthy because it was a fatality involving an e-bike. Not because a driver chased them down and crashed into them leading to Armstrong's death and her boyfriend to lose his leg. Fuck the BBC.

The villain.

A ton of people fought hard for this - congrats @kitallwinter.bsky.social Steeton and Silsden pedestrian and cycle bridge "Over 600 residents responded, with 85% expressing support for the proposed bridge" INCREDIBLE numbers for public consultation 👋

I left my phone on a tube platform at the weekend by accident, and then I got it back, thanks to the kindness of a stranger. Remarkable, really substack.com/@lauralaker/...

Image to open article again hiking 🥾 Why isn’t there just one image of a person walking to the shops, or picking up their child from school?

Great to push out a more attainable target for walking steps to keep everyone healthy. But the imagery in the BBC article 🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It is crucial that accessibility is not seen merely as a legal obligation, but as an opportunity for innovation that benefits everyone. Accessible products not only help people with disabilities, they also improve overall usability for everyone.
