A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Love Sundays. You see so many people cycling compared to week days. Imagine a safe space for all to ride. @belfastcyclecam.bsky.social

Bins in situ where they should be. Only a few out of place. Maybe people are learning that you can just block footpaths!!!!

There are elaborate systems in place for tackling death and injury in the air, rail and maritime sectors, but not for roads. The last Government promised a Road Safety Investigation Branch, then dropped it. The new Gov’t says they have no plans for one. www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/news/wh...

An 11 year old killed yesterday in Castledawson by simply stepping off her school bus. She is the 10th person to die on NI roads this year (the second this week). 50% of road deaths are pedestrians. @infrastructure-ni.gov.uk – are we really doing all we can? sluggerotoole.com/2025/02/04/r...

No decision on what it’s to be spent on but it does look better than feared. Perhaps more for structural maintenance than hitherto.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭? As part of this year's budget, Belfast City Council is spending £200k on the provision of new litter bins, including the return of lamppost bins that I've been campaigning for. Do you have any ideas about where you'd like to see more litter bins?

I've loved being back in the garden and alleyway. A few more hanging baskets this year may be nice.

Loved this video from @tombabin.bsky.social unpacking why the dominant narrative about Paris' biking boom is incomplete. Yes, it is a bummer that your city doesn't have an Anne Hidalgo — but it was really advocates who pushed her to make good on her promises, and you can push your mayor, too.

🚊Thinking Outside the Tracks: Alternative Solutions for the Belfast Circle Line 🚊 When people imagine new rail infrastructure, they often picture large-scale, traditional train models like those used by @nirailways. But what if we thought beyond conventional methods?
