I'm the Director of Policy & Development at the European Cyclists’ Federation. We're Europe's largest pro-cycling civil society association. https://ecf.com
Spent a magical night with Neil Young in Brussels with, I don’t know, many thousands of others. He’s definitely not faded away.

@craigwinneker.bsky.social I don't see your 'I'm gonna need more coffee' posts, but clearly this is a candidate:

Captain, I think we’re gonna need a second cargo bike 😆

New parasol with an 18kg base? That’s a cargo bike job 😀

For beer runs or band practice, cargo bikes are the answer.

Enjoy your weekend!

Fresh #roadsafety stats from the Brussels Capital Region shows that the rate of cyclists in the city has grown by more than 50% while the risk of death and serious injuries is decreasing. Good news! Probably a mix of safety in numbers with new bike infrastructure.

This week, the world has seemed more screwed up than usual. In times like these we need to let our hair down & dance. So I'm dropping this for anyone in #Brussels who's looking for a little rock n roll. The after-show DJ is Brussels' own cycling officer (I'm still a cycling activist after all 😀)

Folks in #Brussels! My garage rock cover band are playing at an obscure youth club (no irony here). Just an excuse to party, really. Cheap night out. All welcome.

Brussels’ first major snow storm today. I can’t tell if the dogs are pleased, pissed or annoyed.

Brussels air quality today. “Horrible,” by official metrics. Obviously thanks to all the drivers of fossil fuel cars, vans and trucks. The roads are chock a block with them today. Aside from polluting the air, driving is the absolute worst way to travel in a city.
