Busy in Utrecht

My cycling field trip takes me to Utrecht to the world’s largest bike parking facility with around 12,500 spaces, part of ~33,000 spots around the station. Wow you can get lost in here!

Is this the ultimate temporary cycle lane? A dress by fashion designer Athena Macke was launched at the German 🚴‍♀️ Assoc (ADFC) held in Berlin recently

Time is long overdue for change

Walking on South/Potter/Market St in Bishop’s Stortford never fails to make me think of “before” photos from any number of European towns.

Time for change.
It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today.

Streets for people.

HT @hackneycyclist.bsky.social for the great before-and-after

Cycling in Cambridge after dark on the way back to the station, I encountered a wide spectrum of white front lights from non existent to blinding. The roads are shockingly bad and even worse than Bishop’s Stortford which is really saying something.

More cities will follow in time as they realise they are poisoning their citizens
“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
