During the 👑 festivities, the Red Bridge bikepath is blocked, while 4 car lanes remain open.
Over 1,500 daily crossings now face dismount signs and a narrow path. Some choose the main road, exposing them to high-speed traffic.
The message is clear: cars first, people last.

Cycling during Vëlosummer in Luxembourg is a delightful experience: roads closed to cars, enjoying beautiful nature, greeting everyone with "Moien", and sharing happy vibes with fellow cyclists

Today, Luxembourg’s first red asphalt bike path was officially unveiled in #EschAlzette.
This should be a glimpse into the future of cycling infrastructure in #Luxembourg: wide, smooth, and safe, this is the standard every bike path should meet.
Let’s raise the bar across the country! 🇱🇺🚲

Welcome to Boulevard de la Foire, the most #car-centric street in #LuxembourgCity. This four-lane, one-way thoroughfare is often #gridlocked during #rushhour.
Pedestrians are given just 6 seconds of green light to cross it. It's a prime example of #urbanplanning that prioritises cars over people.

I stayed in #Rotterdam for a week. I missed cycling along those smooth #redbikepaths.
I cycled through a new area next to the University of Applied Sciences. It was filled with life: #greenspaces, busy #terraces, and people picnicking by the water. This is what new developments should look like.

Can we talk about the definition of #bikepaths vs #bikelanes? I think we need clearer terminology between the 2
For example, in 🇫🇷, a #voiecyclable means an painted lane, while a #pistecyclable indicates a protected path. This clarity would also improve discussions about #cyclinginfrastructure in 🇬🇧/🇺🇸

I’m glad they are starting to add red asphalt, but 1.25m is very tight to ride on. Drivers will pass cyclists very closely and disregard the minimum passing distance. That’s why in 🇳🇱 they’ve recently increased the width of the bike lanes in rural roads to 2m.

Adding this 2.3km stretch of #carpoollanes cost €50 million. If I were to use the same disingenuous arguments often used against #bikepaths, I would say that this was a waste of 💶 because hardly anyone uses them. But the majority of cars carry one person, showing how space-inefficient 🚗 infra is.

I can't believe this gravel path is part of Luxembourg’s national cycle network. They even updated the signposts to the newer(ish) format.

So, there are five extra racks at the parking entrance, confirming the 32-bike capacity. However, the main question remains.

#Luxembourg-City, congrats on the reopening of the Martyrs parking garage! It's great to see that it offers #bikeparking for 32 bikes, (although by the photos I can only see 11 #bikeracks) and a repair station. Question: How can one access the parking by #cycling when all entrances prohibit bikes?

During my bike ride through #Esch/Alzette, I was thrilled to see new #cycling infrastructure being built. What excites me is that these new #bikepaths are wide, separated from traffic, and continuous. This makes me hopeful for the future of cycling as a viable mode of transport in #Luxembourg.

#Luxairport will finally have a #cycling connection alongside the new #Luxtram line.
While I appreciate that the ⬆️ #bikepaths are (mostly) separated from traffic, I am disappointed by their narrow width (~ 1.20m). This will make it difficult for faster cyclists to overtake slower riders.

Although I believe that stand-alone #speedcameras are ineffective, I disapprove of #Waze promoting reporting mobile speed cameras as it undermines speed enforcement.
Where I live, alerting drivers on the spot about a #police presence is prohibited, but I'm unsure if this applies to app reporting.

Unpopular opinion: I believe that painted #bikelanes can be a suitable option if they are adequately implemented. If a road has low traffic and a low #speedlimit, wide bike lanes can be a good choice. However, if one of these factors is missing, separated #bikepaths are the only suitable solution.

I believe in a #multimodaltransport approach that combines #cycling with #publictransport.
Secure #bikeparking and #bike-sharing options at transport hubs can encourage more people to cycle and use public transport. This can help reduce congestion and promote a healthier, more #sustainablesociety.

Unpopular opinion: I believe that all #one-way residential streets should allow cyclists to travel in both directions. This change would promote #cycling as a viable mode of #transport in cities, and encourage more people to use their bicycles for short trips within neighborhoods.
