MCC campaigns for better and safer space for cycling across the Liverpool City Region.
As the nights draw in… Remember that the Highway Code’s road user hierarchy puts responsibility on those likely to cause most harm (clue: that’s not pedestrians and cyclists).

You can’t take away parking spaces in Liverpool city centre, it’ll destroy the local economy they say…

The two tests of cycling infrastructure should be
1 - would this be okay for a 12 year old child on their own?
AND
2 - would this be okay for lone woman at night?
If the answer to either of these is NO then it's not adequate.

Walk Ride GM was horrified by the recent news of a hate crime against Klaudia Mitura on the Ashton Canal.
There is no excuse for violence, including this example of male violence against women.
Incidents like this are made more likely by a widespread press and media bias against cyclists.

Exacerbated by a social media environment that has turned the push for liveable cities into another culture war, we shouldn't conflate the digital and real worlds. Bikelash might be inevitable, but it's surmountable, if we realise this isn't just the right thing to do, it's the popular thing to do.🔚

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵
