“The government estimates that of 1,600 deaths on UK roads last year, four were caused by cyclists.” Hmmm. Just another 1,596 deaths left to tackle. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When you run someone over with a 1.5t car, that's just a tragic mistake that anyone of us could make. Hit someone with a bicycle and that's clearly worse than anything Hitler could have done. There's Motornormativity right there. And this government is well and truly in favour of more of it.

Off to Amsterdam for Koningsdag!

Brand new daylighting in Paris, with two bike racks installed in place of car parking spaces in front of pedestrian crossings. According to the French law, all car parkings spaces in front of crossings should be removed by the end of 2026, in the whole country.

#bikeOfTheWeek That's an optimistic suspension fork, I don't think that wheel will be applying much pressure to the road.

I called her a bad MP for not protecting active travel and incentivising driving🤷 Given she got in on a Green message, I stand by what I said. She's betrayed her voters.

Hammersmith Bridge has finally reopened its carriageway to cycling this afternoon! After *six years* (with a brief interlude in the middle when cyclists were allowed across) of being closed to all traffic, with cycles being pushed across (mostly!) down the narrow footways shared with pedestrians
