Philippe Crist on fire🔥 at @VelocitySeries
He says cars have appropriated streets and public space.
Dropping bike infra into a car-centric society isn’t enough.
We need a deep rooted people-centric approach, taking away space for cars, both in our minds and on our streets

Un plaisir d’échanger avec les membres de la Fondation Amy Gillett dédiée à la promotion de la sécurité cycliste - une préoccupation importante en Australie comme en France 🚴‍♀️

We are excited to announce the launch of the Journal of Cycling and Micromobility Research! This new open access journal will publish cycling and micromobility related research topics. https://t.co/jXTeX4lS6x

[Lauren Pearson @DrLaurenPearson]

Women take different kinds of trips to men, ride different bikes, and have different needs for bike infrastructure they feel safe in. Yet, they don't have a clear seat at the table for designing spaces to ride.

"In the year after the bike lanes arrived, businesses on Skillman Ave saw sales rise by 12%, compared to 3% for Queens in general."

"The thing is, the actual merchants along Skillman? They didn’t believe it."

We are still recruiting for this cycling near-miss project? Are you out and about riding in #Melbourne and would you be willing to help us collect some cool safety data?

If so, please sign up!

[Bike Is Best @BikeIsBestHQ]

In Denmark and the Netherlands, more women cycle than men, enabled by networks that support their transport needs. To enable more women to cycle on mass in the UK we need to build networks that meet the needs of women and move far beyond a focus on commuters #IWD2022 #BikeIsBest

Thanks to @Laurenk_pearson @DrBenBeck and team for running the Geller typologies in Australia. Gold for local practitioners @Why_Not_Bikes @JenniferDillPSU @amygillettfdn

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

It's futile to encourage cycling without providing protected lanes. Survey of 4,000 Australians:

"More than 3/4 are interested in riding a bike, but only in infrastructure that separates people from cars (i.e. off-road paths or protected bike lanes)."

3 in 4 people want to ride a bike but are put off by lack of safe lanes https://t.co/UIb89iJr6i via @ConversationEDU

[Jago Dodson @urbanizationist]

Why do bike project headlines focus on their effects on car traffic, which is the danger being mitigated?

Why not 'New bike infrastructure to reduce risk of injuries and death for cyclists'?

“In addition to the well-known health benefits, cycling adds about $6.3 billion in economic output annually, including $3.4 billion in direct value added, and is supporting almost 35,000 jobs, according to EY.”

@DrBenBeck @arc_gov_au Great news, Ben. Well done! Would be great to catch up on it all sometime soon
