This is pretty decent #sideroadentry treatment imo in #TottenhamCtRd from @camdencouncil.bsky.social - let's hope #WestminsterCouncil replicate @westminster-lcc.bsky.social @londonls.bsky.social

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

‘It’s the best feeling’: how Copenhagen gave cyclists a green wave. “Traffic lights are synchronised so a rush-hour cyclist at 20km/h can catch green lights all the way.” If you want people to choose not to drive, make the non-driving trip better & easier for them. It’s as simple as that, really.

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

This can’t be shared enough. The real #oil deal to get fuel prices low is to organize you don’t even need that fuel. Healthy liveable places to live.

So @lbc.co.uk this is utterly shocking. A phone-in about dangerous #driving or do you only reserve that for anything to do w #cycling. share.google/puL4Aw4wFyhT...
@lner.co.uk I hear your new trains will have proper #cycle storage - not hanging broom cupboards. Can you confirm please??

Any thoughts @johnjohnstewart.bsky.social
I did have a look at recent pedestrian deaths last night and it is shocking. It is almost invisible - many of the deaths don't even get reported in the local news. Here are a few of the recent ones:

Autonomous vehicles are currently operating in a grey area within the law. In some cases the companies that own them have obtained permission from local authorities to operate, some have not. You can help us tackle this issue by contacting your MP: act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/193798/...
At a webinar about #robotpavementdeliveries. How on earth have these been allowed? Why is there no proper push for delivery points to avoid so many home deliveries anyway? @livingstreets.bsky.social
This arbitrary use of #nocycling signs on #cyclelanes is just ridiculous. Now outside Parliament. With no protection from a very busy road. @londoncycling.bsky.social
When do you ever see a sign asking #drivers to get out and push? As seen in Maidenhead yesterday.
@walkwheelcyclet.bsky.social this is on NCN4 nr Maidenhead, bad enough you can’t #cycle over the bridge (not accessible for all) but now closed w no diversion signed; no date for repair. This doesn’t happen on roads @lauralaker.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social
Classic example. #roadclosed sign used when only closed to motors. #walking #cycling is perfectly accessible. We need new signage. @londoncycling.bsky.social

Going to #Harrogate by #train @lner.co.uk w our bikes. Stupid tiny hanging cupboards which at 5’ I can’t do plus my bike has wide bars. Who on earth designed this. No wonder pple use cars instead. Hopeless. @christianwolmar.bsky.social @heidialexander.bsky.social @activetraveleng.bsky.social
Splendid #cycling trip in #NL #Belgium. Epic #cycling infra along railway. @greenparty.org.uk shld hang heads in shame for not supporting same along #HS2 stead of fighting against #green infra. Forcing tunnels meaning no option ever for #cycling. Shameful. @cyclinguk.bsky.social
