“People will use the infrastructure that you give them and because we’ve built cities for cars, everyone wants to drive around. But if we were to start building cities for people to walk in, people will change their behaviour and will live longer and happier lives.” Taylor Reich

@jayforeman Also no live tracking for W9 as the Sullivan buses had?

[Hal Haines @halhaines]

@jayforeman Speaking as someone on the W9 route the service is way better now. There are quite a few route signs still out so the drivers aren’t getting lost (any more than the previous drivers did which would occasionally happen).

Can you get to work without the car? Can you run your errands on foot or using public transport? Maybe you'll discover a new area of your neighbourhood that you would normally just drive past. Give ditching the car a go! @BetterSt4Enf @JourneysPlaces

[Simon Munk @psimonk]

Let's briefly talk carrots & sticks. There's folks replying on this thread as they always do that what's needed is 'cheaper, safer, more frequent, connected public transport' in order to get folks ditching the car. But while all of that is needed, it's not the only thing, says...

@CS3Count @eilidhmurray3 Very helpful - thanks.

This morning and not for the first time, a driver (@waitrose) went through a red light at the junction Holloway Rd/Madras Pl. Before someone gets hurt, could @IslingtonBC and @tfl look at the phasing of the lights so both sets change at the same time?@CycleIslington

[Hal Haines @halhaines]

Clerkenwell Road at 8 this morning. Demolished traffic lights and a wrecked car strewn across the pavement. How does this happen in a 20mph zone?

[Cystic Fibrosis Trust @cftrust]

Today, NICE have given approval for the life-changing #cysticfibrosis modulator drugs to be made available on the NHS in England. This follows many years of campaigning by Cystic Fibrosis Trust and people right across the CF community.

@callummay Have you tried a TyreGlider. It worked for my Brompton when my hands weren’t strong enough

Lucky, lucky #Enfield has a cycling cafe, where you can borrow a bike for free! What a great service from our friends @LondonCyclingC3

This cafe is surrounded by paths through Enfield's parks - borrow a bike, have a spin, come back for a cuppa & a bite to eat! 🚲☕️🍰

@phonekills @2_Wheeled_Wolf I spent a year living in Italy and concur. It was quite a culture shock coming back to the UK.

A must-read from @bbcworldservice's @williamkremer on the history of Vision Zero.

@WineRides @EmilyKerr36 @ParisEnSelle You’re a better person than me as I couldn’t watch it. I’d be interested in the politics of why it was debated in parliament when the petition only reached 16000. The threshold is 100,000.

[Hal Haines @halhaines]

@WineRides @EmilyKerr36 @ParisEnSelle I think the debate was yesterday? https://t.co/MElevXyywr

My daughter contacted us last night. She’s in Falmouth and her pharmacy has told her there’s a national shortage of creon. Is this true? She can’t survive without creon. This needs to be sorted out.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

Brexit is exacerbating drug shortages, causing patient alarm. Without action and EU/UK cooperation it will get worse.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

I've never met anyone with this same opinion but I think the BBC licence is great value for money. My son loves CBeebies, I love 6 Music and the Sounds app is full of great podcasts. Really don't see why others don't see it.

[anna holligan 🎙 @annaholligan]

🧵I don't usually bother with this stuff but... I see people suggesting the BBC has somehow indulged me because I'm riding a £7,000 bike. I feel compelled to set the record straight on a couple of points 1/3
