Cycling in Paris made me appreciate the Dutch cycling culture more than ever. 🚥 Streets that simply make space for everyone 🙌🏽 😁 People who aren’t defined by their mode of mobility 🤌🏼 🚲 Bike lanes that get you to exactly where you need to be 👍🏼 What do you love most about Dutch cycling culture…?
Our documentary is out this weekend. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... Please listen and share. We have a powerful community 🙏🏼

Glimpse behind the scenes. BBC News reporting x The Hague. You may think I cycle cuz I care about saving🌱🌍💶 or keeping fit Reality - juggling breaking news, school runs & podcasting, 🚲 means I hit work/life deadlines.. zero traffic stress! Our Bike Studio isn’t just efficient - it’s essential 😊
Eco-friendly; efficiency on two wheels 🌱 Freedom of a bike studio means… - ability to pull over & record/film as soon as I’m needed📻🚲 - no parking hassles, no traffic jams – just effortless transitions from riding to reporting 🙌🏽 📸 earlier today. BBC R4/World Service documentary coming soon.
As foreign correspondent covering conflict, international (in)justice & misinformation, I find making these 🎞️while cycling extremely cathartic. Hope you get a similar sense of escapism from watching them ✌🏼 We’ve been approached by potential sponsors - would you want more of this, more regularly?
Sick of bad news? Try this healthy dose of positive climate news from the cycle path 💚 Enjoy cameo from my daughter Zena - decides she can do a better job 😅 we’ve all been there. Let me know if you’d like more of these 🎞️
Happy, healthy climate news from the cycle path anyone…?
Ok, we need to dig up the road. Dutch: Sure, just make sure you put down temporary infrastructure to ensure people on bikes aren’t impacted 🙌🏽
Have you heard about the Bike Bureau? BBC Net Zero Transition Plan is live 🌱 delighted to see our solar-powered, hyper mobile reporting studio makes a cameo 🙌🏽 www.bbc.co.uk/sustainabili... Positive reading to boost you into the weekend… and a little background on our evolution 🚲🚲🚲
People in Paris asked if there are bike lanes on every street in the Netherlands… No, but there’s a cycling culture on every street 🤩
Is Paris a ‘fully bikeable’ city…? In 🇫🇷 capital recording BBC radio documentary… Much of it from the saddle 🚲
So good to be back on these bike lanes 🧡🇳🇱🚲 What do we think about the hat, too bright? 😎
Are you a “cycling influencer”? 🚲 Inspired by the Dutch ambassador calling me one, I’m developing a range of merchandise to celebrate everyday cycling culture. To me, anyone who promotes cycling simply by doing it embodies the true essence of a “cycling influencer.” Merch dropping in 2025! 🚀
Fully embracing Dutch philosophy… If it can be done by bicycle; do it by bicycle 💚
Oh hi! Honoured (& surprised) to win ‘Climate Change Communication, Inspiration from Abroad’ prize, awarded by the U.N. and Learned Society in Prague. Such encouraging recognition for Dutch News from the Cycle Path & the Bike Bureau (a co-creation with Kate Vandy) 🙌🏼 In gratitude, filmed this 🌱💚
