London is the first major city in Europe to host a spectacular light display to mark Ramadan - a true symbol of how our capital celebrates our diversity.
You can still catch these beautiful lights in the West End for the next week. #Ramadan
Great example of why having right-turning vehicles merge across the bike lane is engineering malpractice.
Easy to the blame the pickup driver (and they should pay more attention!) but the road design is setting everyone up for failure here.
Pro tip (courtesy of a patient) for those that need to tighten the ear loops on their masks with toggles or a knot but then end up with ear pain at the pressure point: tighten it at the cheek!
@Ollie_Cycles@AmericanFietser We have designed (destroyed) cities so people can park right where they want to be. We have designed suburbs with this as the main design principle. Then people argue that cars are more convenient and that’s why people choose it.

This Turkish yogurt cake is similar to a lemon-scented cheesecake, but it’s lighter and has a fresher, tangier flavor. https://t.co/rP96swJo91
@rebeccajtiffany@LdnOntBikeCafe Not quite what you're asking but in case you hadn't seen this before. It's the closest I know to what you're asking.

Tomorrow at noon we're meeting at Waterloo Town Square to check out some of the most inaccessible spots. We're aiming to end around University and King to grab food.
Feel free to join us or lead your own shovel in your neighbourhood. Send us pics and we will submit to cities!
A good thread on the suburban perspective of sidewalk clearing that gets into why it seems to be so hard to get political support for municipal sidewalk clearing.
The status quo basically works out there!
In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution.
Now they are models of sustainable urban planning.
Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars.

A fact that has stuck with me since I’ve learned it, in part because it’s so disturbing, is that some of the first suicide prevention strategies were developed in response to African captives dying by suicide on slave ships.
Dangerous crossing for students attending @empwrdsb this morning. Well after the storm. This needs immediate attention before students return home today. I had to leave a message with @citywaterloo Separately, we need an improved plan for pedestrian safety across the city.
1. Today we celebrate Toronto’s 189th birthday. Which is pretty weird. Because Toronto isn’t 189 years old. And it wasn’t founded in March.
Here goes my annual rant…
@emveezee@CanadaRobin Not to mention they aren't even stopping - just rolling on through the stop sign as if it's a suggestion. See it happen all the time.
Were gonna build on the work community members did in getting @citywaterloo to explore better sidewalk clearing options. We're going to help staff with their research so please send us the worst spots in the city! Well invite councillors & staff out to see how bad it really is!
