Millions went #BacktoSchool this week. At Shawlands Primary, that means the return of their #bikebus.

Twice a week, kids & parents gather to wheel the busy city roads to school. By doing it together, it becomes safer, easier & more joyful for kids to cycle to school.

And here they are on the BBC last year, telling the story of their bike bus and the difference it’s making to kids, parents and the streets near them.: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-61599279

Community solutions to the problems of our time - we love it! What do you think? Could it work where you are?

Thanks to Shawlands Bike Bus for letting us sharethe video. Find them on twitter @bikebusshaw and insta at @shawlandsbikebus

Are any #MastoDaoine (based in London) likely to be at the Battersea Bridge protest ride this evening?

See you there.

@jon Lest you got too rosy a view of Irish Rail's bike carrying capacity - this is what I am faced with for my trip to Longford this morning.

I will point out I live a three minute walk from a train station, which you might expect to be a nexus for things like e-bikes. #activetravel

Are we doing this right?

I joined friends for light-painting photography last night. I had some camping drybags, so could improvise some 'panniers'. Hooray for bungee straps 😂
I could sure feel the extra weight up the hills, but it's still better than driving 🚴

On the one hand this cycle lane will save lives, give children independence and improve public health, on the other hand it will inconvenience some people driving cars.

Tough call, but Fianna Fáil Cllr Catherine Slattery has decided that the convenience of people driving is the most important thing.

This is outrageous - the councillors who are opposing safe routes to school should be named and shamed!

I've had a lovely lunchtime walk to the shop, listening to Desert Island Discs. I find the songs people choose and the reasons so fascinating.
Also nice to stretch my legs while the sun is out 😁

What if... street weren't just for cars? Transition Liverpool is showing what more space for community, greenery and art could do for their city after unveiling their first city centre parklet.

With high rates of air pollution and pedestrian accidents in their city, they worked with local designers and materials to make the modular pop-up structure that can be adapted to many spaces and uses.

It includes seating, planters for pollinator-loving plants and space for events, art or workshops, all in the size of a parking space.

In other cities, parklets have boosted local businesses, air quality and sense of community, and the sPark It project hopes this will be the first of many, with businesses, the council, charities and communities getting involved, and sparking conversation about how street space could be used.

Local architect Ross Neal, who volunteered as a designer on the project, said: “sPark It is all about community. The Transition team wanted to find creative ways to combat climate change, and in Liverpool that means tackling air pollution, making our streets safer for walking, wheeling and cycling, supporting small businesses and finding ways to bring nature and community back into the city.”

Big congrats to the team at Transition Liverpool who’ve been working towards this for years, with funding from the public and a Transition Together seed funding grant.
