I took a spin on London's bike network this week, with a tour from @London_Cycling. So cool to see the massive progress London's made since I lived here in the early 00's. Masses of people simply biking to get around. And, yep, they did it by...
Building a network spine of cycleways that connect central London with neighborhoods, along arterial streets, out to north, south, East and west London with physical separation; simple intuitive naming
~40 bikes rolling onto the peak pm Bainbridge @wsferries today reminds me that if you build a bike network people will use it! Also, best seat in the house; first on, first off. Biking is awesome!
