Cycling in Paris made me appreciate the Dutch cycling culture more than ever.

🚥 Streets that simply make space for everyone 🙌🏽

😁 People who aren’t defined by their mode of mobility 🤌🏼

🚲 Bike lanes that get you to exactly where you need to be 👍🏼

What do you love most about Dutch cycling culture…?

Glimpse behind the scenes.
BBC News reporting x The Hague.

You may think I cycle cuz I care about saving🌱🌍💶 or keeping fit

Reality - juggling breaking news, school runs & podcasting, 🚲 means I hit work/life deadlines.. zero traffic stress!

Our Bike Studio isn’t just efficient - it’s essential 😊

Eco-friendly; efficiency on two wheels 🌱

Freedom of a bike studio means…

- ability to pull over & record/film as soon as I’m needed📻🚲

- no parking hassles, no traffic jams – just effortless transitions from riding to reporting 🙌🏽

📸 earlier today.

BBC R4/World Service documentary coming soon.

As foreign correspondent covering conflict, international (in)justice & misinformation, I find making these 🎞️while cycling extremely cathartic.

Hope you get a similar sense of escapism from watching them ✌🏼

We’ve been approached by potential sponsors - would you want more of this, more regularly?

Sick of bad news?

Try this healthy dose of positive climate news from the cycle path 💚

Enjoy cameo from my daughter Zena - decides she can do a better job 😅 we’ve all been there.

Let me know if you’d like more of these 🎞️

Happy, healthy climate news from the cycle path anyone…?

Ok, we need to dig up the road.

Dutch: Sure, just make sure you put down temporary infrastructure to ensure people on bikes aren’t impacted 🙌🏽

Have you heard about the Bike Bureau?

BBC Net Zero Transition Plan is live 🌱 delighted to see our solar-powered, hyper mobile reporting studio makes a cameo 🙌🏽 www.bbc.co.uk/sustainabili...

Question is, why wouldn’t you…?

People in Paris asked if there are bike lanes on every street in the Netherlands… No, but there’s a cycling culture on every street 🤩

That feeling when… cycling in the bicycle capital of the world 🇳🇱 #lucky #POV #cycling #bikesky

Is Paris a ‘fully bikeable’ city…?

In 🇫🇷 capital recording BBC radio documentary…

Much of it from the saddle 🚲

So good to be back on these bike lanes 🧡🇳🇱🚲

What do we think about the hat, too bright? 😎

Are you a “cycling influencer”? 🚲

Inspired by the Dutch ambassador calling me one, I’m developing a range of merchandise to celebrate everyday cycling culture.

To me, anyone who promotes cycling simply by doing it embodies the true essence of a “cycling influencer.”

Merch dropping in 2025! 🚀

Fully embracing Dutch philosophy…

If it can be done by bicycle; do it by bicycle 💚

Oh hi!

Honoured (& surprised) to win ‘Climate Change Communication, Inspiration from Abroad’ prize, awarded by the U.N. and Learned Society in Prague.

Such encouraging recognition for Dutch News from the Cycle Path & the Bike Bureau (a co-creation with Kate Vandy) 🙌🏼

In gratitude, filmed this 🌱💚
