Fantastic few days in #Antwerp #Belgium. A beautiful city with great public spaces and sone ongoing work to further develop. Superb for cycling and walking... and GREAT #frites!

Hopefully it will be possible to secure the flats without closing access to the greenway @GrainiaLong

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

Hi @EastSidePship @nihecommunity -when can we expect the clarawood access to the @ConnsGreenway to reopen?

This is a main access point linking to the @combergreenway. No diversions marked either before getting to this locked gate. No great for regular commuters.

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

Hi @belfastcc @ConnsGreenway @deptinfra - lots of broken glass at Greenway entry point at Clara way flats. Been like that for a couple of weeks. Please send the sweeper ASAP. Thanks.

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

. @belfastcc @deptinfra @SustransNI
There are 2 trees down across @combergreenway, countryside of the beersbridge Road. One blocking the path and the other only partially down & people at danger if it falls. Please remove (and send the sweeper up for wider debris) THANKS.

Correction: not pay by hour. Rates are by day, week or month.

Good to see the new @SpokeSafe @belfastcc @deptinfra bike parking near @TitanicBelfast.

It's possibly the first pay by hour locked bike storage in Belfast so will be interesting to see how this model works going forward.

Some issues though...

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

It looks like the Sheffield stands might be too close to the wall for handlebars. Other stands don't have any locking points (These are lessons from the translink 'secure' parking so PLEASE fix future provision). Translink stands also don't accept slightly wider e-bike tyres

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

@Translink_NI still no secure bike parking?

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

Hi @Translink_NI - please update the
Grand Central Station station guide / facilities page to advise if bike parking is / is not available.

https://t.co/GomIYEQ2Tx

Currently it only has latest info for cars and pedestrians. Thanks

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

@ToolLibBelfast - some options to further expand your services / loan items...

.... and moments before squeezed myself and another cyclist off the road / lane at the Mountpottinger / Castlereagh street junction.

Please review the on board camera footage and take appropriate action.

It's the worst pass by far I've had / seen in ages.

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

Hi @GliderBelfast, @Translink_NI - please check your bus tracking data to identify the G1 country bound that crossed the templemore avenue junction at 18:31 on Tue 27 Feb. They sailed through a clear red light at that junction....

[Department for Infrastructure @deptinfra]

A reminder that the Comber Greenway is now lit, from Beersbridge Rd to Billy Neill Halt, during the hours of darkness.

That's in the morning from 6am until sunrise, and in the evening up to 10:30pm.

My bike was stolen yesterday. @SustransNI @bicyclecoffeeshop #allbikelovers Unfortunately CCTV footage didn't show his face but if you see a guy cycling around on this bike ...

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.”

@Starling3232 @Tesco At Ballyhack, There is plenty of room to relocate the stand to along the side wall in front of Subway (the stand is currently lying in the corner of the Tesco storage area at the far side of the car park so would be an easy / cheap fix) 2/2.

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

@Starling3232 I've messaged @Tesco 3 times over the past few months re their removal of the ballyhack bike parking. They keep saying they will pass it on to the store manager for action but nothing is ever done. 1/...

[Eat. Explore. @EatExplore]

@Starling3232 It is good to see this (but they have placed the silver rack too close to the trolley bay so bikes can't be centred and risk toppling).
