Interesting policy by @[email protected] in London. It is converting some car parking bays into e-scooter parking. It charges e-scooter rental companies ££ per trip. The revenue from those e-scooter trips more than compensates the loss of car parking revenue https://committees.westminster.gov.uk/documents/s50501/Cabinet%20Member%20Report%20-%20Dockless%20Rental%20e-Scooter%20and%20e-Bike%20Schemes.pdf

This year the Chief Medical Officer report is on air pollution, which kills up to 38,000 people annually (from the mortality burden of long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution) in England.

In the active travel section (p.132) me and Eleanor Roaf discuss School Streets, LTNs and improved walking & cycling facilities for decarbonising transport.

YAY, I'm one of @WeAreCyclingUK's #100WomenInCycling of 2022 🥳 🚲

And in such amazing company 😍

https://www.cyclinguk.org/100women/2022

In 2020, men made more than double the amount of cycle trips than #women.

And don't even get me started on the stats for #teenagers 😱

We need safe #cycling infrastructure to enable people to take up cycling. This is the most important thing we can do to get women (and girls!) cycling. #100WomenInCycling

Are you listening BANES and WECA?

The impact of new bike lanes (in Frankfurt):

"Better cycling infrastructure does not only improve conditions for cyclists, but also contributes to a higher quality of urban life for residents."

like if you're using #disabilityjustice and these principles & genealogies aren't what you're referring to?

then i tangibly have no clue what you mean. and as more people involved with DJ work potentially migrate to the wooly mammoth fart factory, i imagine they will be as equally confused as me

@TricycleMayor My disability hasn't limited me much yet but I've been advocating about how #BegButtons reinforce #CarCulture for some time. Trying to use them from a #bakfiets helped me notice even more how physically inaccessible some are.

Can you access beg buttons from your bakfiets?
