Thanks BromptonJunction for the great ride out in Amsterdam today. It’s so good to be back in a city where cycling isn’t seen as anything special, but rather just an everyday part of life #liveablecities #morebikesfewercars #WorldCarFreeDay2019

Utrecht - definitely up there as one of my fav cycling cities. Jam-packed visit yesterday to learn about the city’s #cleanair plans and #cyclingambitions. Thank you Gemeente Utrecht, Fietsersbond and @herbert_tiemens for making my stay such an informative and memorable one!

I couldn’t visit Utrecht without checking our their newly opened 3-story bike parking station. Open 24/7 with security, free for the first 24 hours and only 1.25 Euros per day thereafter. Just wow 😍

One of Utrecht’s 50 digital signs displaying the number of BIKE spaces available in each station. Now this is a city that puts people and bikes at the heart of their urban planning. #citiesforpeople #liveablecities #happycities

I got caught out last night; darkness fell and I’d forgotten my bike lights. No problem, Utrecht had the answer at 10.30pm! #bikecandy #cyclingcities

Yay, I made it! The last stop on my #pedalforcleanair Norway-London cycle tour 🙌. Great to meet the BYCS team and learn more about their global #bicyclemayor programme. 54 mayors in cities around the world and counting. London next!?

I’m back to cycling in the UK again after an inspiring trip through Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Never have I felt more determined to push for safer, more people-friendly streets like these #citiesforpeople #healthystreets #cleanupourair

Four years ago Waltham Forest had zero bike hangers, and now they have 380 and plans for plenty more. Reclaiming space from roads and making #activetravel more accessible. #leadingtheway #comeonlondon

Lots of talk today at the #healthystreets2019 summit about the cycling paradise of Utrecht, one of the cities I explored on my #pedalforcleanair tour. If you want to experience a truly liveable and lovable city, that prioritises people over cars, visit Utrecht. #cities4people

0.5% of Dutch cyclists don helmets. Yet theirs are among the safest streets on earth. Why? They realize it’s more effective to slow cars, build protected infrastructure, and create a culture of everyday cycling. Not force the most vulnerable to armour up. vox.com/science-and-he…

A 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all users of the road. As for painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. And for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via Streetsblog USA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…
