1000 out of 1200 kids in this school in #Oulu, #Finland, arrive by #bicycle, even in winter. 100-150 walk, rest by ski, kicksleds and car. This day it was -17°C. @WCCCalgary2019 #WCC2019 #wintercycling

We should have this presumption of responsibility in Ireland. It would make drivers behave very differently on our roads.

Research by Living Streets found that a quarter of over 65s are prevented from leaving their home because of obstructed pavements and 87 per cent of parents in Britain have been forced into the road because of vehicles blocking pavements. #StreetsForPeople livingstreets.org.uk/press-media/le…

Underpasses are an unremarkable but indispensable part of cycle networks; built below motorways and railways to improve flow and safety. But for reasons of accessibility and social inclusion, they must feature open design, clear sightlines, gradual slopes, and generous lighting.

This is a major national safety issue. It features all the time on local Facebook groups and is one of the main issues in councillor mailboxes. Why is it taking the government so long following the consultation to introduce the pavement parking ban? Alberto Costa MP - South Leicestershire

Good safe bike routes give families an option to take the bike for some journeys, reducing traffic for everyone that does need/want to drive.

Big, if true.

'More than two-thirds of Galway’s workforce drive to work' This is failed urban planning at its worst. No SECOND ring road will fix this. What is needed is a complete rethink and a reallocation of space away from cars. connachttribune.ie/galway-commute…

Some people bike to their daily destinations. Some walk. Some drive. Sometimes they do both. Our infrastructure shouldn’t force them to choose one over the other, and in fact, should encourage more frequent use of the healthiest & most efficient mode. Why is this idea so radical?

So true. Unfortunately.

After the transformation of La Jolla Blvd, noise levels dropped 77%, retail sales rose 30%, and traffic crashes fell by 90%.

Cycling improves the quality of public space. 🚲 It doesn’t take up much space. 🌳 This allows for more space for green areas. 👂 Cycling is silent and helps to reduce traffic noise.

Our cities do not need newer cars. Stop with the shiny gadgets that nobody wants. Start to optimize what already works well! 🚆🚲🧑‍🦽🚶‍♀️🤸🌳

🤔For walking and cycling networks to be truly useful, they have to connect every house and every service--as we expect roads to do. 🤓I was asked to explain why I need cycle paths on both sides of the N11, so here's an explainer of "Trip Chaining". laurentuite.ie/cherrywood_rat…
