@scotcivictrust Thank you to @scotcivictrust and other sponsors for their hospitality and a lovely day out yesterday. We enjoyed seeing the other great #MyPlace24 images and hearing about the inspiring work of the many My Place projects featured at the awards ceremony

@DundeeCouncil this sign at the railway bridge needs some attention I think !

[Martin Smith @mcmarto]

That’s a good reference document for journalists to keep close at hand. I’d not seen it before.

[Martin Smith @mcmarto]

@cineworld On the 5th attempt, yes but it does seem to be a regular occurrence. I wonder if you have any analytics which show how often this happens and how many customers/bookable seats it is losing you each day.

[Martin Smith @mcmarto]

@cineworld online booking system is need of an update. It’s so slow and always times out before you can book your tickets. Then it tells you the seats you nearly booked are no longer free when you know it’s your failed booking. I have to book half the cinema every time !

The Service ‘Utopia’ of the Future or something to encourage expanding cities with yet more cars travelling ever further? Not to mention the risk factors https://t.co/x7o2PS9zZ3 @fietsprofessor @tverka

Perhaps @DundeeCouncil would be interested? @dundeecycling @sust_dundee

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

Designing the Cycling City: The Masterclass will be hosted by @humankindcity in Rotterdam this September 28-30.

The three-day program takes participants on a deep dive into the Dutch approach to bicycle urbanism—arguably the most successful in the world.

@fietsprofessor @tverka @scribepub @decorrespondent @robwijnberg @rcbregman @copenhenken @carltonreid @Chris_Boardman @TheWarOnCars @notjustbikes @modacitylife Just finished reading "Movement". Great read and follow-up to Unraveling the Cycling City MOOC.

@AshG_SeedSoil @dundeecycling Doesn't look wide enough for a bike with a child trailer. Also not sure small raised bumps fully qualifies for the term "protected". Limited options for 2 bikes in opposing directions.

[Dundee Cycling Forum @dundeecycling]

65% of #Dundee residents support more cycle tracks along roads that are physically separated from traffic and pedestrians.

@magnatom @dundeecycling Trailers with suspension sound good & a @donkey_trailers trailer would be handy now and then 😀

@magnatom @dundeecycling Small Carry Freedom Y here, mainly short trips to recycling

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

60% of cyclists interviewed on the roads in Paris began cycling last year after the installation of pop-up bike lanes. @Prefet75_IDF 🇫🇷 🚲

@DundeeCouncil @dundeecycling it’s worth remembering that not all bikes are the same size when planning cycling infrastructure upgrades. #cargobike #biketrailer #trikes

[International Cargo Bike Festival @cargobikefest]

"Through a combined set of policy efforts, ranging from infrastructure upgrades to direct subsidies, cities can unlock the incredible potential of the #cargobike"

@ChargePlaceScot Just received an e-mail about £20 card renewal fee on 31st Aug - did I read that this is no longer a thing or am I misremembering?

[Martin Smith @mcmarto]

Agreed - crossing this car-chasm anywhere between here & the Ferry is a challenge with few places to cross safely.

[Dundee Cycling Forum @dundeecycling]

The #Dundee @DDWaterfront is currently cut off from the city centre by multiple traffic lanes but it too could be redesigned so that space is reallocated to walking, cycling and a lot more Greenery to compliment Slessor Gardens! @MarkFlynnSNP @CllrAlexander

[Martin Smith @mcmarto]

I’d love to see some similar student ideas for Dundee to build on what @DundeeCouncil are already doing

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

A Liverpool university student has created some striking Dutch-inspired designs that he believes would transform the city.

Todd Lithgow's key idea is to improve the amount of space for walking and cycling, and make the city's roadworks safer and greener.

@DundeeCouncil helpful input to Dundee biodiversity plans perhaps? https://t.co/OVStOty5uG

[Martin Smith @mcmarto]

Hopefully @DundeeCouncil have a copy or two already !

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

The CROW 'Design Manual for Bicycle Traffic' is widely regarded by experts as the best cycleway engineering guide in the world.

For the entire month of December, the Dutch Cycling Embassy and CROW are partnering to offer it for just €99 (plus shipping).

Looks great - hoping it is a sign of more to come !
