@_______holly @Shafiq_Ahmed Any bikes, as far as I’m aware.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@_______holly @Shafiq_Ahmed Not true. HMRC allows for 20p per mile by bicycle while travelling for work.

Wait until you realise that people who can cross the road easily visit shops.

Zebra crossings also decrease the speed of motorists, so they'll be more likely to notice the commerce on offer...

Traffic gridlock as council installs FOUR zebra crossings on 90-yard stretch of road: Fury as businesses lose trade and cars are stuck in long queues on town centre street https://t.co/pSnpEieRSd

@OxonCyclingNet Is there still a massive queue of waiting car drivers to access the car park?

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@TransparentHRC Behind me, the lane is too narrow for overtaking, unfortunately.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

Traffic update: There is no congestion in the bike lane.

@jordanbhx The city saved a new build IKEA to house an art gallery but demolishes this.

[LPP / Lisboa Para Pessoas @lxparapessoas]

“Utilizar recursos para destruir pavimento funcional das ciclovias de Lisboa e substitui-lo por escorregadias pedras da calçada, em vez de expandir a rede ciclável de modo a proteger quem anda de bicicleta, faz tanto sentido como estar preocupado com a cor das cortinas enquanto a casa arde.”

@gadboit2 The vast majority of infrastructure is purely for the benefit of cars. I don't see how you can think that somehow infrastructure is driven by hating cars.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

What many people discussing this fail to realise is that the Netherlands is one of the best places in the world to cycle and to drive a car.

‘All of this came at the cost of two million pounds.’

GB News National Reporter Will Godley investigates the UK’s first cycle street, which has just been unveiled in Cambridge and aims to increase safety for cyclists.

@ClarkeMicah @rorysutherland Most people wouldn’t expect your personal items to be stored using public space either for free, or with a large subsidy.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@gpriorrodrigues Agree. Gets hardly any credit but very ambitious policies and delivery.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

Streets are now so overrun with traffic people have resorted to playing a version of kerby in their garden.

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@LuckyDip23 Nobody is using the car lane either :(

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@Poe_Prospero Correct.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@dangitman50 This obviously didn’t happen. But if it did, it would be the consequence of you and many others simultaneously choosing to sit in a space-inefficient metal box.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@snazzius Slightly worse because of higher speeds and associated braking distances.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@propilot123 @Marc4nt0ine @but_cyclists More people can ride a bike than have a driving licence.

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

@FreddyBurrman Cars are parked 23 hours in every 24. I bet you tolerate this despite people not using the space effectively.
