This is what looked like for me today. First time on a Pedal Me for my niece on our way to the theatre this afternoon. She was a little unsure at first but was joyful and elated by the end of the ride

Transport should never just be reduced down to the A to B. There's always more to it than that and the whole journey experience is just as important as the destination.

Behaviour change measures such as cycle skills training are invaluable. But without first building the infrastructure to match and make those journeys feel safe, it can be a complete waste of resources

Bin + unnecessary sign + comms box = almost a quarter of the possible footway width. This is at a busy junction about 5mins away from the city centre train station. Why isn't the sign at least parallel to the bin? Details matter...

Waltham Forest have suppressed demand for driven trips by reducing the capacity in their motor vehicle network based on simple i.e. demand for short driven trips is *highly elastic*.

Meanwhile this recently finished block in central London sits completely empty. All units fully appointed with kitchens etc. Presumably because it's not financially viable enough for the landowner to actually let people live in them. It's a disgrace.

It can take years, even decades, for many transport schemes to come to fruition. So it's always nice to see something you started years ago actually under construction at last! It'll be great when it's open and operational ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿฆผ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ(City Centre to West Edinburgh Link)

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments

I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM โ€“ I contend that he does not have the legal right

The ball is in your court , Prime Minister

Norway has one of the lowest crash death rates in the world, w/fatalities dropping ~50% in the last decade.

In Oslo, I asked a senior Norwegian transportation official what role car tech has played enhancing safety.

Her answer: 'None. We focus on road design and enforcement.'

How our kids travel, is the result of choices made by past generations. In turn, those choices profoundly shape our next ones.
