You are one ride away from a good mood. Merry Christmas from Amsterdam!

There used to be parked cars in Jutulveien #Oslo. Now there's a cycle lane. Thanks @Bymiljoetaten for making cycling to @UniOslo more enjoyable! 😊 #vintersykling ❤❄🚲 #sustainability @Sykkelbynett @Lan_Marie @Syklistenes @morten_lode @Spireorg @AnjaBRii @FIVH @NaturogUngdom

My master dissertation on student's cycling behaviour and practices is almost finished after a summer of hard work. I'm investigating barriers and measures for increased cycling in Oslo @sykkelioslo @Sykkelbynett

I had the pleasure of meeting @Solblid today from @Spireorg, an organisation working to create #environmentalchange 🙌

@Solblid has almost finished her MSc dissertation looking at ways to get more students in Oslo cycling.
Excited to read it soon! #bikefriendlycities 🚲 🚲

Most streets are shaped by old-fashioned traffic engineering, where most of the space is used to move or park cars.

What happens when we change the definition of a successful street, to a place that addresses the needs of people living and working there?

#Utrecht is an inspiring case for successful #city planning for people, not for cars: making it fast, convinient and safe to #cycle with high quality, connecteded #bike roads and easy, secure bike parking facilities

Bicycle Diplomacy.

Spotted on the streets of The Hague yesterday: Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has a "mobile meeting" with Latvian Prime Minister Arturs Krišjānis Kariņš.

Inspiring meeting with @cllrjudithblake and @lisamulherin. Feels good to use my home city Oslo as an example of ongoing work to improve cycle conditions by making a connected cycle network. It doesn't need to be expensive #strakstiltak @sykkelioslo @Sykkelbynett @LivAndenes

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

There is a large group of people in the Netherlands who also benefit from the well-designed cycling infrastructure: people with disabilities.

The cycle tracks offer them protection from motorized traffic, and thus a freedom to independently move around.

Hadde vært fint med slike #sykkelveier i #Oslo hvor det er helt tydelig at #syklister er prioritert og bilen er gjest @Lan_Marie @MarianneBorgen @LivAndenes @Bymiljoetaten @VegvesenOst @TOIforsk @Sykkelbynett @Syklistenes

The fietsstraat ("bicycle street") is a road where cyclists are the primary and preferred user. They are characterized by red pavement, prominent branding, traffic calming, and a reduction in on-street car parking; making it clear that drivers are guests.

Ny artikkel om enkle tiltak for økt sykling. Denne handler om trinnvis utbygging. Oslo kommune har brukt denne metoden i sin utbygging av de åtte byrutene gjennom sentrum. https://t.co/hPc7ZIFHfu

For å frigjere plass til fortau, sykkeltilrettelegging og grønt, skal Amsterdam skal fjerne 1.500 parkeringsplassar per år, totalt 11.200 plassar fram mot 2025. https://t.co/MTPAlFl9Zl
