Better public transport and safe cycling infrastructure isn't about taking away people's freedom to drive - it's about giving them the freedom to not have to drive

Public transport in this country is knackered! 3 hours to get from Wembley to Aylesbury on Chiltern Railways last night. Half the time was waiting for connecting trains. This is why people drive.

Fantastic clip from @NotJustBikes on how prioritizing cars actually hurts Main Street businesses and communities. It includes a nice quote from the local Board of Trade who thought prioritizing cars would help the town centre. Guess what actually happened?

Can’t get excited, because the production model will look nothing like this 90’s CGI render. Which on second thoughts is a good thing.

Woah! Is it true the Aylesbury Gala Bingo site being regenerated into "Pavilion Quarter" is actually just a car park with a walk way through to the high street? Martin Anthony Tett Rachael Matthews This is what the architects said it could look like! Not a car in sight...

It’s actually tragic that Flow, released in 2024, available to stream in the US, and just won a Golden Globe isn’t even being shown in the UK until 21 March 2025.

“Exercise is the risk you take to avoid the consequences of being still.” THE primary reason I cycle around town as much as I can. THE primary reason I lift weights at the gym. Exercise is like the elixir of youth.

Went to Wendover today to visit an local business and was dismayed to see the “free for 1 hour” is now a flat fee £1.70 (£1.85 via Ringo) for Sunday. Compare this to 50p for an hour on Saturday. Wonder if that’s why so many shops were shut? Steven Broadbent Wendover News

Looks amazing! Definite IMAX visit for this one.

Question on today’s “Impossible”. He’s used this excuse before, so exceptional circumstances shouldn’t come into it.

Road crime is our gun problem. Thoughts and prayers are sent, but nothing changes.

With bike thefts on the rise we need secure bike storage in Aylesbury. Seeing these commandeered to store signs is a tad frustrating. Buckinghamshire Council Buckinghamshire Highways Steven Broadbent

Walk/cycle rather than drive locally. Take the stairs rather than escalators. Resistance training to counter muscle/bone density loss. Your future self will thank you.

I just finished "Paved Paradise" by Henry Grabar, and boy does it have some gems. Lots of the solutions to our urban woes are already being put in place - look at Austin - but this should be read by every city council across America. My favorite quotes can be found here. 🧵

THE MATRIX was released 26 years ago today. Acclaimed as both one of the great science fiction movies and a groundbreaking action film, the behind-the-scenes story will have you questioning reality… 1/44

Trump is like Boris Johnson. Not keen on details and throws out so much misinformation no one knows what to concentrate on.

What car dominant roads look like to pedestrians

Car dependency is such a thing that a village has been refused hosting a VE day celebration in the local park because of lack of parking. A local event where most people can walk to it.
