Amsterdam is doing a very good job of upgrading all of their cycle infrastructure, street by street, block by block. However even decades old cycleways that are narrow and paved do still do a good job of keeping everyone, of all ages, safe on their bikes

Why is #BBCNews consistently framing yesterday's oval office meeting as both leaders 'shouting over each other' and 'Zelensky has created a new enemy'? It was bullying from Trump and Vance. It was a stitch up. Pure and simple.

Saying it again - we really need to stop treating #PublicTransport as a luxury and more as an essential public utility and enabler of economic activity. It will need to be subsidised, and drivers will need to pay their fare share.

Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe. And the pair of them can fuck right off. I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil. I don’t want their military bases. I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

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.

FFS. It's always men. Why verbally assault a woman for her mode of travel? It is never acceptable.

They're killing people. They're killing communities. They're killing the planet. So how are these gigantic tanks still allowed on our roads?

I think there's also a few things going on here. People also lump in military assistance with foreign aid, so Ukraine, Israel, et al. even though those are military and not USAID type support. Second, they are ideologically opposed to helping anyone except at the point of a gun.

This is amazing re: 20mph impact in Wales - collisions on Welsh roads at their lowest level for that quarter since records began, and 100 fewer people killed on 20mph and 30mph roads. That's 100 people alive today who potentially wouldn't otherwise be here...

I'm not sure how many folks in #bikesky are familiar with World Bicycle Relief, so here's a short intro. They've distributed over 800,000 bikes in Africa, Asia, & South America. They've developed a simple sustainable bike for harsh terrains. vimeo.com/1027156128

My sister on trying an ebike for the first time yesterday “I see why everyone always talks about e-bikes now.” Such a common response! E-bikes are game-changing.

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it. Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.

"Morse, who had convictions for 128 previous offences including failure to stop and driving whilst disqualified, only possessed a provisional driving licence at the time of the collision as he had previously been disqualified for other driving offences." Why not a lifetime ban as a minimum?

More than half of Toronto drivers in a Universtiy of Toronto study didn't look for people walking or on bikes before turning right. Study used eye-tracking tech. Increasingly deadly vehicles plus irresponsible driving equals people being injured and being killed.
