The biggest urban cycling trend in 2024: kids-focused initiatives. “The future of cities belongs to its children, and this new movement just might prove to be a vital tipping point where they are finally considered and involved in the planning process" momentummag.com/urban-cycling-…
rain or shine.
“It’s becoming much more mainstream…almost every city in America has a protected bike lane now.” buff.ly/3JwR8hy
Thanks for everyone who put in submissions to the City of Melbourne on their updated bike lane construction schedule, the vote passed unanimously except for one stick-in-the-mud. Off the back of the vote, tonight's #criticalmass is CBD focused 😀
You’re riding your bike. What’s that annoying noise? (From The Cycling Cartoonist, published by Bloomsbury. Larger image, book info, more drawings: davewalker.com/that-annoying-… )
Tomorrow!! Who’s coming?!
Replacing 25% of trips under 5 miles with e-bikes would be like taking 338,000 cars off the road. momentummag.com/e-bike-impact-…
It's pretty simple: Cities that want more people to bike shouldn't force cyclists to ride alongside fast cars. "Substantial speed differentials between bikes and motor vehicles are a barrier to bike riding." doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.…
It seems that Melbourne needs to reconsider its urban planning, as it has resulted in a heavy reliance on cars and negative health outcomes.

Great to see our recently published work getting some international traction. Speed is important, and 40km/h is not enough to support everyday people to hop on a bike #Love30

Check out the new counter-flow bike lane on Adolph Street - thanks Council!
If you live in City of Melbourne, do NOT vote for Roshena Campbell. Tonight she said that permanent bike lanes are a mistake, ‘doing a disservice to the future of our city’ and don’t have any bikes in them. Only one to vote against the new cycling plan #KnowYourCandidates
At least once a week some random guy stops me to talk about my e-cargo bike. They've all been thinking about replacing their 2nd car. I don't know if it's cost-of-living, environmental concerns or being sick of congestion, but it's a growing number, + it's exciting! #e-cargobike
🚲 Have you voted on a bicycle route from Glen Huntly to Caulfield yet? 🌳 We’re backing Option 6, a protected on-road option that balances safety, directness & tree retention. You can read more about the 6 options & our how to vote card here: buff.ly/4aLzToK

In 2011 @VicRoads added 2 lanes to #MurrayRd, #Coburg without consulting @MerribekCouncil (then Moreland CC) In 2012 Council write to VicRoads outlining why that was a bad idea - not least because it was earmarked for #bikelanes The extra lanes are a dangerous disaster.

Love to people-watch while I get my coffee on Exhibition St. The variety of bikes rolling by is delightful. Fast roadies, fat ebikes, family longtails, and a pink step-thru covered in flowers. All in the span of a single latte brew.
Latest National Highways drivel seen elsewhere is apparently older drivers and HGVs can't cope with highways designed to Manual for Streets or 20 mph limits. However does the rest of Europe cope with a 3.1m wide lane and a 30km/h limit? Answers on a postcard...
Early points to @moondogbrewing for having bike parking inside the venue!! #moondogwest
To most commuters, the word “congestion” carries negative connotations, and is something to be avoided at all costs. But to those that ride a bike, it doesn’t carry the same weight, being perhaps the only mode of transport where running into traffic makes it even more enjoyable.

Upton Sinclair understood why planners & engineers have resisted bike-friendly infrastructure for 100 years: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
