@LifeAfloat Nick, I have loved seeing and reading your posts afloat, and I’m so happy for you. Drink it in.

Drivers when someone advocates for bikeable cities: "But what about disabled people? We need to support them?"
Answer: "In the Netherlands they get around a lot better because they can use the extensive bike lane network."
Drivers: "Nooo, not like that!"

@prwright55 @donchokola @YokohamaRides That’s quite a story you have there. But that’s all it is, a story.

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

@prwright55 @donchokola @YokohamaRides There are other streets. Delivery drivers have legs and trolleys. Cargo bikes exist.

@JohnJohnStewart @francesca_kms All those photos were taken less than a mile from my house, all taken in the 18 months before we got filtered streets, which are, as always, for people.

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

@JohnJohnStewart @francesca_kms Through traffic always ends up on main roads. When through traffic is prevented turning on and off main roads, traffic flows better. Less accidents, less delays. It’s also distributed differently, so peak times are busier, off peaks are quieter.

Open letter from Northumberland Park & Tottenham Hale Labour Councillors/candidates to Cabinet leads @IbrahimAli1_ and @CllrSeema demanding immediate action on traffic safety concerns in the Avenues/North Tottenham.

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

@CllrSeema @haringeycouncil @mikehakata Thanks Seema, I’ve come off here a few years ago, and I’ve seen 2 other people go down at this corner, it’s a busy active travel link between St Anns, West Green and Green Lanes.

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

My 5th annual request to @haringeycouncil to grit the intersection of Stanhope & Warwick Gardens. Maybe this year will be the year?

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Don't park in bike lanes.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

The Netherlands will invest €1 billion in cycling infrastructure to connect hundreds of thousands of new homes. This will build bike highways and improve bike-train intermodality, enabling residents to access jobs, healthcare, and school without locking them into car dependency.

@carlafrancome Sounds awful. Send them to me, I’ll make sure they’re properly disposed of.

@richughesy @fesshole It makes none

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

@carlafrancome @BeauJangle21 Both great threads, Carla. I don’t know what to do about Green Lanes. We’re stuck with a shameful Haringey-sized gap.

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

@joncstone @BrentCyclists Half a crossing is better than no crossing, but requiring cycle users to travel in the opposing lane to use it is not great, possibly making the crossing more hazardous.

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

@CllrSeema @HaringeyLiving That is excellent news, thank you.

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

Some progress! I’m guessing the gap is where the tree is going to go @CllrSeema?

[Jonathan Broadbent @itsjono]

Not sure what’s going on here: these bollards are in the way for foot traffic and make the narrow area at this point even narrower. Is the pavement being removed here?
