Walking & cycling discussed at Govt meeting with STAG. Great to see active engagement to promote cycling & walking within the community #gibraltar
Bicycle lanes and bicycle infrastructure is good for business #gibraltar Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses
Cars are getting wider. It’s NOT necessarily our girth as we struggle to get out of our parked cars #Gibraltar Good Morning Britain This will have consequences on public urban space if cities plan for more parking space. Liveable cities need more human space, planted areas, pavements, bike lanes
Forced to leave or had we been able to retain our links with EU, every MP regardless of party affiliation should commit to “unlocking the power of cycling” to improve the lives of their constituents #gibraltar GSLP Gibraltar Social Democrats HM Govt of Gibraltar Gibraltar Chronicle GBC News
Guidance from experts in cycling infrastructure is an important asset to tap into. No need to reinvent the wheel, it’s too risky and the work has already been done, tried & tested elsewhere even if no 2 cites are alike #gibraltar 😉
Unless otherwise corrected. It seems that school drop off along Europort Avenue for St Martin’s School this morning went rather well #gibraltar
Obesity rates in adults have more than doubled in the past 30 years, but for younger people obesity increased almost twice as fast.
Another reason why we must make our streets safe to cycle for kids and adults alike. World Health Organization (WHO) European Cyclists' Federation Novo Nordisk
Phase 2 of pop up bicycle lane east to west along Europort Avenue is completed up to Chilton Ct. entrance. Simple, segregated, protected, safe & inexpensive, but above all effective. It addresses the issue of cars parked on the bike lane too #gibraltar Well done John Cortes
How do people in Paris move? Large study 16 - 80 y/o. Results within Paris:
• Walking 53.5%
• Public Transit 30.0%
• Bicycle 11.2%
• Cars 4.3%
Mayor Anne Hidalgo built many 100s kilometers of protected bikelanes AND bike use multiplied, car decreased!

I saw this yesterday & should have moved it but there were too many people in the area watching. Sorry! Disconnect Reconnect, look out for this carelessly placed works sign which is difficult to see as you come around the sharp corner #gibraltar
Shocked this morning to see the carefree & negligent placing of traffic signs on #gibraltar bike lanes. Common sense & learning basic traffic rules is critical. Thanks John Cortes for taking my call & prompt action, agreeing that I move all signs to make bike lane safe 🙏
Stop De Kindermoord was the start of that cycling revolution that made Amsterdam what it is today. A city who were determined to put an end to these accidents and deaths as a result of the introduction of the car and defined the shape of this road sharing Mecca #gibraltar
EU Transport Ministers, the Commission and EU Parliament sign the EU Cycling Declaration. Congratulations to everyone involved #gibraltar
