@AmericanFietser

Roads were built for horse carts, expanded and rebuilt for cars, trucks and buses. Roads are being redesigned to safely make room for bicycles where I live. Not everyone can or wish to ride a bicycle. Bicycles will share the road with other vehicles to transport everyone.
Let’s have a world that works for everyone, please

Congrats to #ProvidenceRI for their 8th place finish

I wish Boston would start to get competitive around #SaferStreets and green transportation

LibDems in #Kingston once again caught out - blaming TfL for not completing important #SaferStreets cycling infrastructure while TfL say they have given all the money cllrs have asked for and questioning the financial competence of cllrs in this project

Steph Archer as former transport boss and Andreas Kirsch as council leader need to come clean or resign and hand over control to someone who is competent

Meanwhile cyclists are put at risk #RoadSafety

Icy roads last month left residents in Greenwich trapped in their homes. Undoubtedly this happened in our borough too. Yet still councils prioritise cars over people and do nothing to make pavements safer but grit roads instead

Skewed priorities

Tomorrow, #Galway City Councillors have a chance to reduce the city centre speed limit to 30kmph, making all road users safer and improving traffic flow. If you support the move, like all these wonderful people do, let your councillors know! #Sundays4Safety #saferstreets #love30

I think it's a pity that this is behind a paywall, very few will read it and probably those who need to read it most are least likely to. Slowing down saves lives and makes our roads a safer place for everyone, motorists included #cycling #roadsafety #slowdown #saferstreets

Honoured to be speaking at an event focussed on sexual harassment for #OrangeTheWorld. I will talk about my own experiences & @DurhamPolice@twitter.com's important #SaferStreets campaign, where men are encouraged to call out inappropriate behaviour of peers🧡 @inspirebelief_@twitter.com @Springboard_NE@twitter.com https://twitter.com/Springboard_NE/status/1600787400606695424

A driver killed her daughter. She won’t let the world forget.

Large vehicles and unsafe streets are killing too many people, including 5-year-old Allison Hart. Now, her mother is fighting for safer streets.

Parking reform is more than minimums, to really unlock the potential win-win-wins of eliminating parking mandates, we need to manage the curb and invest in safer streets for all.

Reducing traffic on residential streets has many benefits:

🚸 Makes streets safer for children.
🚲 Makes it easier and safer for people to get around without cars.
😷 Reduces #airpollution on surrounding roads.

#Berlin study finds that …

Pop up cycle lanes means more cyclists, less cars and better air

(We could have told them that)

#CarFree #SaferStreets

(In German behind paywall)

#Sundays4Safety this Sunday!
Meeting at Salthill Park at 11am.
Focus this week is the hierarchy of road users. It'd be amazing to have enough folks for a pic to illustrate...
Also, happy birthday to me!
#Accessibility #saferstreets

We will not vote for our council in the forthcoming #Netzero50 awards in the U.K. over their collab with Sutton on school streets because frankly 6 across the whole borough is poor. It shows lack of willingness and boldness when it comes to protecting alternative travel to schools

We would provide at least one #carfree access to each school in the borough if we ran #Kingston council

#SaferStreets #NetZero

Okay. So I have an idea for #Sundays4Safety! 😉😉 It's going to be good humoured and hopefully a bit of fun. Gonna spread the love a bit. Would VERY much appreciate some buddies! Meet at 11am, at #Salthill Park. Finished by 12. #saferstreets #accessibility 😍 Oh and PLEASE boost! Thank you!

Ideas wanted! Illegal parking is very bad again in Salthill. Looking for friendly #Sundays4Safety ideas to highlight it. Anyone?? Please?? 😊 #saferstreets #accessibility #directaction
Also, we're meeting at 11am at Salthill Park on Sunday. Do join!!

There’s work to do #ReclaimOurStreets #Cycling #SaferStreets

This affects places like #Kingston borough- where rat runs are prevalent making streets unsafe for everyone

School streets are a temporary fix, LTNs are better. Cllrs need to look beyond simple solutions because residents have a right to be safe

#SaferStreets #RoadSafety #ReclaimTheStreets

Our borough in SW London - Kingston- has only six school streets. Our neighbours in London have a lot more

We say that local cllrs are failing our children- each schoolchild should be able to have a #CarFree access path to school every morning and every afternoon. This includes secondary school students

#BeBold and look at the solutions not the barriers to #SaferStreets

@MCRCycleSam something all local authorities could invest in

Proper #CarFree infrastructure equals less vehicles and #SaferStreets. Plus better health for everyone- what’s there not to like
