Bicycle Network is running a campaign to get the Victorian State Government to allocate 5% of the transport budget to building the Strategic Cycling Corridors.
It's a very small ask but would be a huge step up from current funding levels.

Critical was a good ride this month. Riding through Yarra to highlight the sad decision the council made not to progress with the Wellington St upgrades.
Nice to have some more new people on the ride.
Interesting: when buying non-returnable tickets from Warsaw to Vilnius, LTG Link is happy to return the bicycle supplement of 10€ if you change your mind and decide to go without it. PKP Intercity, on the other hand, doesn't let you do that for the same connection.

Experts spent years trying to change the way people travel. The #fuelcrisis - $2+ per litre - did it in less than a month

From Pierre at BikeWest:
"West Footscray station just had its third parkiteer cage installed - it was instantly full"
Anecdotally there has been a big uptick in people riding bikes around Melbourne. People riding at peak times on the Upfield path have said there is a lot more bike traffic and others have said there are more bicycles parked at train stations since free public transport came in.
No real data yet but it's great to see.
Shifting Matters: More TTRPG/Bicycle Comparisons
As readers of the site know, I’m a cyclist in addition to a gamer. I spend at least as much if not more time riding and working on my bikes as I do playing, reading, and writing about RPGs, and riding my bike is an integral part of how I get around and interact with my community. I’ve even written about RPGs and bicycles before, though in that article I was speaking more to how the economics and business models of the hobbies compare. There are also comparisons to be made about how one actually rides a bike compared to how they play a game, and while this analogy is imperfect it can provide some insight to how we both play games and engage in games discourse.

When talking about #bicycles, don't conflate fitness riding with competitive sport.
Fitness riding is about expending the maximum amount of energy you can, for a variety of reasons, including: athletic performance, general health maintnence, or cardiovascular health.
Racing is about going as far/fast as you can, meaning you want to expend a minimum of effort per unit of time/distance.
It's obvious these are two diametrically opposed goals.
🚴🧠 New research shows that reducing sedentary time in schools – through simple strategies like standing to answer questions or adding unstructured #play – improves #children’s waist-to-hip ratios, cognitive performance, and emotional wellbeing.
Researchers emphasize that all movement counts, from climbing #trees to riding #bicycles.
