Hope I get back in time to watch this talk by @ianwalker.bsky.social . Here's a great example of Motonormativity just around the corner from my house, prioritising keeping the road clear for drivers over keeping the pavements clear for pedestrians. Why isn't pavement parking illegal in Surrey?

Looking forward to the new season of @activetravelcaf.bsky.social tomorrow (Tue 29/4 at 5pm).
Starting with @ianwalker.bsky.social talking about his latest research on #Motonormativity aka #Carbrain.
See you there!

Brilliant @activetravelcaf.bsky.social this week showing how Watford council have used their planning tool to improve engagement with cycle route creation. So much potential for people to properly engage with their local environments rather than stare at maps and document!

I was recently asked on @activetravelcaf.bsky.social what one thing I'd change to boost active travel.

Undoubtedly, it would be to overhaul the cumbersome and restrictive "business caseification" of schemes.

This adds cost and slows the transition to sustainable transport. It needs fixing.
