Wellington cycleways are under attack. I'm surprised to see some Councillors backtracking on safe streets and sustainable transport. Everyone deserves safe streets 24/7. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

If anyone tells you a cycleway is “gold-plated” and it doesn’t look as amazing as Quay St then tell them they’re dreaming. Most Auckland cycling infra isn’t even concrete plated, it’s paint plated.

HOT RESEARCH NEWS! Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor... Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

“A new study of early separated lane projects in the U.S. across six cities finds a rise of ridership between 21% and 171% after the lanes were installed.” The pretty strong and convincing case for protected bike-lane networks in cities. In @fastcompany.com

It’s VERY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.
