A view from the handlebars: all the the people seen cycling on cycleway 28 in the 2nd week of October 2025 (6 trips).

About 6½ riders/km, a decent showing, though a disappointing 22½% female participation (picked the wrong week, it’s usually 35%-ish).

Osaka’s showpiece streetscape Midosuji Boulevard has undergone major changes. In the build-up to hosting the 2025 World Expo, the city began experimenting with reallocating parts of the road space: widening sidewalks, limiting car traffic, and creating continuous protected infrastructure for bikes.🧵
People walk and cycle along Midosuji Boulevard after dark, a major shopping street in Osaka lined with wide foot- and cycle-paths, as well as colourful trees, buildings, and streetlights.

What? When I’m in the opposite carriageway and there's plenty of room for everybody? The barriers are over what’s usually a taxi rank. It’s come to a pretty pass when Surrey’s roadworks are signed better than Outer London’s.
#cowboycontractorsandsupervisors
Top image -a cyclist dismount sign is placed nonsensically by the footway in front of barriers around some roadworks on the right hand side of the road, which don’t impede travel for anyone more than the usual parked taxi(s). Bottom image - Surrey using the much appreciated “narrow lane do not overtake cyclists” sign at roadworks

Using the 0-200 count section in the Blackfriars pedestrian-cycleway crossing video, I can’t verify the claim that over ¾ of riders meeting a red light ride through it*, plus there are reporting anomalies as per the third picture.

PS over 300 go through on green.

*more like ½ (50:50 not 200:50)
43 people *possibly* jumping a red light (some may have gone through before it changed) 56 people waiting on red in the same section of video. The same 4 riders and car appear in 2 completely different frames in the 0-200 count, and the signals show both red and green in a substantial section, because 2 video tracks have been overlaid. The green light track is fainter which makes it look like riders are jumppig the red.
