This cycleway is narrow so a sign reads "Racer te gast" meaning those on fast road bikes are guests and should be considerate to any slower cyclists

I don't understand, why is this not manslaughter? "57-year-old father-of-two Walker was cycling on the A3 Lisburn Road towards Moira, Co. Down, on 26 March 2020 when he was fatally struck from behind by McGeown" 😞

1/4 While Europe races towards a green transport revolution, NI lags behind. 81% of Europeans use public transport daily, with 95% within a 15-minute walk of a stop. In NI, only 52% of households have hourly bus access. Just 5% of NI journeys were by public transport in 2017-2019.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

This figure is for two years, and includes £30m for Bikeability, £30m for Sustrans, £8.5m for Cycling UK, Living Streets and Modeshift. Mark's estimate is that what remains will fund at most 155 km of new cycle infrastructure, which is 500m per English local authority. 500m. Hugely disappointing.

This is such a daming indictment of active travel policy over the last 20 years. Our current traffic congestion is a direct result of a failure to invest in public transportation and active travel in this time.
