Compare and contrast the Government language.
£3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’.
Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’.
And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

"Walkers car park"
Ironic?
Due to NSL speeds + forbidding state of the A24 to anyone on foot/wheels/cycling? @kneppwilding.bsky.social
Will there soon be a "cyclists car park"?

Been to #Chichester today to see the new roundabout! Everything proceeding smoothly. Looks good.
One driver seems not to have noticed the new arrangement and left their large black vehicle intruding into the cycle lane.

There are many local examples in #Brighton of these abominable & obstructive screens. They should all be removed.
Travelling all around England this month. Can’t help but notice a huge increase in these in lots of cities. In this case, taking up 2/3 of the footway on a very busy pedestrian route between Manchester Piccadilly and Oxford Road. Is this a good thing for enabling walking?

SUVs are uneccessary in urban areas
A majority of UK car owners (59%) also agree that SUVs are not necessary in towns and cities, compared to just 20% that disagree.
This is despite research showing that three quarters of SUVs sold in UK are registered to people living in towns and cities 🙃
