This series of Most Excellent Overtakes shows how good drivers overtake cyclists. We should raise our aspirations to achieve good overtakes from all drivers. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This sort of thing feels so sensible. A programme in France to retrofit rural roads so there is a bike path running alongside them. In this case to the local hospital

Worcester Critical Mass for January is tomorrow. 🙂

Thanks to @WMerciaRoads for processing this submission using #OperationSnap. I’m grateful to @JamesConnell8 and the @worcesternews for this article, to raise awareness of antisocial, dangerous and illegal driving. worcesternews.co.uk/news/24854595.… 3 points and £544 fine / costs.

Once you've seen noticed the "Gormless Gap" you see it everywhere Pedestrian space stolen so that careless motorists don't scratch their cars What unintended consequences might emerge from building a world where people are systematically protected from any consequences when they drive carelessly?

Remember this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, is linked to better creative & intellectual performance. Among MANY other benefits to you and to society. Design and build more walkable cities.

Charging giant vehicles more to park seems like common sense public policy to me www.nytimes.com/2024/02/05/w...

BikeLoud started a Feed of Worldwide Bike Advocacy groups in 2024 The Feed is now 250 safe streets groups on #bsky. From @thewaroncars.bsky.social to @activetraveltt.bsky.social to @bikeauckland.bsky.social to points between - Folks the world over are united in their desire for streets for people.

Today’s bike ride highlights how vital safe streets are for everyone, especially those traveling by bike. If kids can’t cycle safely, our streets aren’t fit for purpose. Here’s to 2025 and more quiet roads and LTNs, so everyone—young or old—can travel confidently. 🚲🙏🥰

Taking the opportunity to reshare this handy guide to choosing an accessible cycle which we wrote for @bikeabilityuk.bsky.social: www.bikeability.org.uk/blogs/top-ti...

Abolish parking minimums and introduce paid street parking everywhere.

Our review of all things bikes and Worcester is now live on the blog. Please let us know what we’ve missed! 🙂 Thanks to all the volunteers, and everyone who’s come to an event. 🙂👍🏼❤️🚲 See you in 2025! www.bikeworcester.org.uk/blog/2024-re...

When it comes to bicycle paths, it doesn't get much better than this. Protected with a wide green strip and trees that will provide shade in a few years, this bike path creates a sense of safety and comfort for those traveling down the street. 📍The Hague, the Netherlands

Hi @lauralaker.bsky.social @nedboulting.bsky.social @adamtranter.bsky.social - just caught up with the Bike Bus podcast :-) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s... Were you aware of the Global Bike Bus Summit in Worcester in April? bikebussummit.org Please get behind it! @dannyonabike.bsky.social

New @BikeWorcester blog is up, where I have think about the reasons why people driving cars illegally close pass people riding bikes. Somehow it ends up with a link to a wrestling match between Randy 'Macho Man' Savage and Jake 'the Snake' Roberts. 🤷‍♂️😂 www.bikeworcester.org.uk/blog/psychol...

Absolutely amazing December Kidical Mass in Worcester this morning. 🙂❤️👍🏼🚲🎄

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I mostly listen to your show on catch up due to work. Listened to Thursday’s show last night, and today’s this afternoon. I think your show is consistently great, but those shows have been off the charts brilliant. Reduced to tears on several occasions. Thank you. 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️🎄❄️🫡

i can barely even ride a fucking bike but the only people who care about pedestrian safety are the bike advocates so i'm with the bike advocates

Interested in better urban transportation and mobility? I’ve been adding great new people to this Starter Pack over time, folks like @barbaralaa.bsky.social, @ianjsemple.bsky.social, @cyclingprofessor.bsky.social & more! Please check out how it’s changed, follow more folks, and share it widely!

My nomination for the bestest moss in Worcester

There are two things we've gained by living in a place that allows us to live a car-lite lifestyle. ✅ More Garage Space ✅ More Financial Freedom

Imagine someone taking aim at you with a truck from hundreds of meters away, missing you by only an arms length at 80km/h. This looks so much more frightening when set in a lab. But it’s what we subject cyclists to daily.

New blog on the opening of the new walking and wheeling bridge in Worcester. Please read and share; comments are open. 🙂 www.bikeworcester.org.uk/blog/kepax-b...

There are a lot of reasons drivers hate bicyclists, but I think deep down one reason is that seeing a bike travel faster than them shatters the illusion they have been sold by decades of car ads
