Just look at the appalling dangerous driving children in Birmingham encounter on their way to & from school every day. Shockingly this is happening at a zebra crossing in Tysley where a 3 year old girl was killed in 2021. @for_birmingham

Spotted in #Skopje an old school cargo bike. Kids feet were in the basket!

One of the best publicly-accesible rewilding sites in London is due to be enclosed & destroyed for artificial pitches for @SpursOfficial. I visited Whitewebbs Park in Enfield to see why it’s special & why local people are against this destructive sell off by @EnfieldCouncil 🧵

One trope in nearly every disaster and post-apocalyptic film from Hollywood is a scene where a protagonist saves themselves and their families by creative and aggressive driving. It's a very deep American fantasy that even in crowded cities that the car represents rugged freedom.

Some people may read this headline and think it's anti e-scooter but encouraging to see the other argument. That private scooters can be effective mobility aids...

Really relatable article for Brits...'I speak seven languages but one of them not very confidently' 🙄 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Implementing this transformation shouldn't be controversial. It should be the default.

"Councils are separately being told [by Government] they should only introduce 20mph limits in specific areas, for example outside schools." Children should just be safe for their whole journey, not just when they actually get to school. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

If you want to understand how much, as a society, we’ve slowly normalised road danger, watch this clip from tonight’s BBC News at Six. I personally don’t think horrific crashes like this should be in the light-hearted “and finally” section.

Child road deaths are particularly horrific because in most cases, a parent is forced to watch their young child brutally, violently, casually killed by someone who will face little to no consequences. The child is often less than 3 feet from the parent or holding their hand.

When the Dutch build roads, they typically build adjacent high-quality, direct cycle paths at the same time. This could be done in the UK for a tiny percentage of the budget of new roads schemes. It would transform sustainable connectivity between settlements. Let’s do it.
