You know what’s annoying? Getting accustomed to switching the TV on at a set time after 6 days of watching a cycle race finishing at a particular time to find that it finished already on the final day.

🤔 The experiment might be tricky to do without giving the game away, but I wonder what the difference would be if you did and didn’t point your phone camera at approaching turning vehicles as you attempted to walk across a side road.

Cycling in Paris made me appreciate the Dutch cycling culture more than ever. 🚥 Streets that simply make space for everyone 🙌🏽 😁 People who aren’t defined by their mode of mobility 🤌🏼 🚲 Bike lanes that get you to exactly where you need to be 👍🏼 What do you love most about Dutch cycling culture…?

My family of 5 are going to cycle from 🇩🇰 to 🇳🇱 (900km)! Route shows contrasting networks: Sparse paths for first 600km to Bremen leave no room for error, while dense Dutch networks allow safe course-correction. Whether cycling or organizing, connected networks always outperform fragmented ones.

Meanwhile in South Korea. mastodon.online/@jitensha_on...

Oh yeah - our new #motonormativity research is featured on GCN this week! Two minutes in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkLr...

Journos request here for a bit of data crowd sourcing and crosschecking: What bike shops have closed near you in the past 5 years, and which have opened? Names, numbers and years of you can.

Your reminder that road safety interventions for cycling are not a pick’n’mix . (For me, doing otherwise is like someone having broken their arm in two places but only one is treated.) www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

So, Vehicular Cycling What is it, and why do you need to know about it? It's key to understanding why roads are like they are, how to survive on them, and why we need change Here's a thread I'm preserving from Twitter 🧵

Love cycling, hate cyclists? What’s It Like to Date a Cyclist? Am I a cyclist (or just a person on a bike)? Falling out of love with cycling? Here's a Valentine's day vid about Cycling together ! #valentinesday #ValentinesDay2025 youtu.be/DZF10t1zd_I?... via @YouTube

"My local cycleway is unusable after dark." "Two guys tried to block the cycle path." "I will never ride here again. I felt so unsafe." Over half of London's official TfL Cycleways are unsafe for women after dark. Full LCC report w/ @forestbike.bsky.social & Madison UK lcc.org.uk/news/womens-...

Without knowing the difference in time taken to traverse the tunnel, you can’t tell if there’s more or less pollution in it because of the track . mastodon.online/@jitensha_on...

“Mine’s the one with the black saddle”! Oxford railway station, 02/02/25. #Cycling

There is no way people will stand car parking being cleared out of side streets to provide space to build cycle tracks where traffic flow is to high for cycling with traffic. It's a bonkers proposition in space, urban design, cost, carbon. You name it.

The Wandle Trail is a lovely traffic-free walking & cycling route, until it suddenly ends, forcing you onto busy roads. Call on Wandsworth & Merton to fix the "Missing Link" at Earlsfield and complete the trail Sign the petition to make it safer and accessible for all: www.change.org/p/fix-the-mi...

Nah, if your staff are underperforming that’s you lacking 21st century management skills, not them not responding to Dominic where-is-he-now Raab style feudal practices. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Only if they’re on active travel paths. Plenty to be getting on with.

Might be more productive long term to roll out a potted education course to schools (augmenting Bikeability as the practical side). @heidialexander.bsky.social

I don't know if you will be able to watch it from outside France, but here is a report on the main French TV evening news about biking to work in mid-sized towns, with nothing said about saving the planet but all about how cheap it is. www.tf1.fr/tf1/jt-20h/v...
