Anyone interested in mobility, urbanism, bike-everything.. Make sure you're following @sara_stace who is doing an amazing job tweeting from @VelocitySeries Leipzig! Keep it up Sara

Philippe Crist on fire🔥 at @VelocitySeries He says cars have appropriated streets and public space. Dropping bike infra into a car-centric society isn’t enough. We need a deep rooted people-centric approach, taking away space for cars, both in our minds and on our streets #VC23

Women take different kinds of trips to men, ride different bikes, and have different needs for bike infrastructure they feel safe in. Yet, they don't have a clear seat at the table for designing spaces to ride. Read our latest in @ConversationEDU: theconversation.com/how-to-g…

How to get more women on bikes? Better biking infrastructure, designed by women

Men outnumber women by two-to-one on bikes in Australia. It’s time more women were involved in planning new bike paths and protected lanes to feel safer on the road.

"In the year after the bike lanes arrived, businesses on Skillman Ave saw sales rise by 12%, compared to 3% for Queens in general." "The thing is, the actual merchants along Skillman? They didn’t believe it." wired.com/story/the-battle-o…

The Battle Over Bike Lanes Needs a Mindset Shift

Installing protected routes tends to boost local shops. But many store owners remain attached to their street parking—and fight to protect it.

Bike Is Best@BikeIsBestHQ8 Mar 2022
In Denmark and the Netherlands, more women cycle than men, enabled by networks that support their transport needs. To enable more women to cycle on mass in the UK we need to build networks that meet the needs of women and move far beyond a focus on commuters #IWD2022 #BikeIsBest

It's futile to encourage cycling without providing protected lanes. Survey of 4,000 Australians: "More than 3/4 are interested in riding a bike, but only in infrastructure that separates people from cars (i.e. off-road paths or protected bike lanes)." theconversation.com/3-in-4-p…

3 in 4 people want to ride a bike but are put off by lack of safe lanes

We surveyed over 4,000 Victorians and found more than three-quarters are interested in riding a bike, but only in infrastructure that separates people from cars – such as protected bike lanes.

Why do bike project headlines focus on their effects on car traffic, which is the danger being mitigated? Why not 'New bike infrastructure to reduce risk of injuries and death for cyclists'? theage.com.au/national/victo…

Warning of traffic delays in city as bike lanes rolled out

Fifteen kilometres of new bike lanes have been installed in Melbourne during lockdowns, in a move one councillor warns has added up to 40 minutes to some motorists’ trips through the city.

“In addition to the well-known health benefits, cycling adds about $6.3 billion in economic output annually, including $3.4 billion in direct value added, and is supporting almost 35,000 jobs, according to EY.” #BeActive afr.com/news/economy/get-on-…

We've kept up our progress on making our streets safer for everyone who uses them despite the pandemic. This includes protected bike lanes on some of our most traveled corridors. We've now created a comprehensive network of protected bike lanes in SoMa.
