Just trying to make the world a better place.
I always enter at these doors as it’s one of the very few spots I can actually put my bike. I understand I won’t have priority over someone in a scooter or wheelchair but I find this pretty silly. Either provide for bikes or get rid of silly signs.

Project I worked on for quite some time. Hopefully will come back life sooner rather than later.
Our state government planned to spend $10m+ on fixing the safety issues on Kerferd Rd, introducing a new protected bike lane, beautiful landscaping, and slowing down vehicle speeds by design. The local councillors scuttled it. We've FOI'd the never released plans […]

Delighted to see amazing new bike infrastructure in my area this morning. 50kph speed limit and several thousand vehicles use this street every day. 😐

Walking to the station and a guy just came way too fast out of his driveway and nearly too me out.
It’s ok though, he waved his hand apologetically.

Excited that I set the wheels in motion for this over a year ago and now it is actually happening next week.

Just in Chicago at the moment. Piecemeal is the only way I can describe the cycling infrastructure. A million miles off all ages and abilities, that’s for sure. This is one of the better bits.

Down in G-town yesterday. My first look at Malop Street. I like the trees, seating, wide footpaths. Bike lane and consideration for loading and access for all. Nice big pram without sharp level difference where people need them. Am sure there is the odd unwanted interaction but a decent job.

Just popped out to edithvale for an evening out with a few lads. Literally nowhere to park my bike near the pub. Very frustrating.

First bus stop bypass I ever designed back when I was TfL. Plumstead Road in London. You may remember this one. @willnorman.co.uk
Starting to see a few in oz now. Lots of OTT discussions about lines and signs though.

Must admit every time I see this pop up in a design guide it terrifies me. Personally I couldn't design something that pins a rider into a lane whilst someone gets annoyed behind them. Its asking for intimidation or attempts to boot up the inside regardless of signage and space.

Local library. E-bikes, cargo bike, bike with trailer and not enough bike stands. Enabling local riding is the low hanging fruit everyone seems to forget about. Commuter riding accounts for about 10% of cycling trips depending where you are. Let’s work on the easy stuff.

Putting my kids Lego into boxes by colour. Does the turquoise piece go into blue or green? I’ve thought about this way too long already.

This new strategic cycling corridor map is a big improvement. You can search for certain roads and streets now and get frustrated even quicker at how much work there is to do :)
