Like so many cities in the Netherlands, Leiden is fantastically walkable, with human scale and lots of pleasant streets to wander around.

Ride to Altrincham today for poffertjes at Papa Dutch. Couldn’t face the mud on the TPT, so it meant riding along a frozen and very busy Bridgewater Canal.

Poffertjes were nice tho 😋

A situation the Labour government are happy continue, by putting meagre amounts into public transport outside of the south east and not reinstating the whole of HS2 development.
If you build world-class public transport, people will use it.
Six of the UK’s most used railway stations are on the Elizabeth line, and all 10 are in London.

Strangely, this one section of the Irwell river path, outside the Soapworks is incredibly icy. One to watch out for, if walking or cycling through here.

As part of plans to remove 10,000 parking spaces from Amsterdam by 2025, the Frans Halsbuurt neighbourhood in De Pijp has been redeveloped to create space for people.
We checked this and other things out, as part of a day trip to the city in 2025 👉 wp.me/p6f6qW-8UA

Newly installed path on the Mersey in Stretford. Is this the level of accessibility we’ll get as part of the Mersey Valley Way? As it’s not accessible in the slightest.

Here's three minutes of me cycling through Zwolle city centre on mostly motor-free or low-traffic streets. Everyone benefits from this design: more trade for cafés, pleasanter places to walk and cycle, quieter homes for local residents, and vibrant public spaces. Design for people and cities thrive
