Today I speak at the Bicycle Association conference. I will present a case for better communication with the public. What do you want to see from the e-bike industry in design, at retail, in how we present & demo goods? Why does the bike world struggle to engage the masses? What turns people off?
Very interesting new report by @polisnetwork.eu with recommendations to EU member states on how to fight transport poverty with the Social Climate Fund that it's about to be distributed. frdo-cfdd.be/wp-content/u...
New episode ! We talked with the delightful British journalist and author Laura Laker about her odyssey on the UK's National Cycle Network, what makes good cycling infrastructure, and her work in setting standards for how reporters & cops talk about traffic crashes. thewaroncars.org/2025/03/11/e...
Here’s what we wrote about it ⬇️
Anine Hartmann@aninehartmann.bsky.social · 2y agoLast week we read @katelynburns.com powerful essay in @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social. Katelyn warned: “Urbanism is full of critical feminist issues, but the lack of women helping to shape … cities endangers us all.” She asked where women in urbanism are on #bsky. Where are the women?
Tremendous to see the launch of this fund. Such an important, impactful and inspiring way to resource change within our communities. Well done to @leahblack.bsky.social and everyone who has collaborated in making this possible. 💕 theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/03/15-m...

#NorthBridge 🙋♀️ @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social can u put in 🚲diversion signs as @johnrobson87.bsky.social suggests? @edi.bike @chdot.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social @finlaymcf.bsky.social @cllrcmiller.bsky.social @leftwing66.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @alastairdalton.bsky.social
@johnrobson87.bsky.social · 2y agoNice new segregated cycleway southbound on North Bridge this evening 🤪?! Shame there’s no cycle diversion signage northbound via Cockburn St & Waverley Bridge… saw some cyclists trying to cycle the wrong way this evening?! Also sight lines of 🚦’s at Royal Mile not great. @spokes.org.uk
The IWD 2025 campaign theme is 'Accelerate Action'. We ask planners to build infrastructure that's safe & comfortable for women & girls. Many groups have ridden, campaigned, and yet Edinburgh hasn't seen the change it needs as a city to thrive. How can we accelerate action?
This year for #IWD2025 we're doing something a little different. A lunchtime pop-up "safe space" ride around the city centre on Monday 10th March. We'll start outside the City of Edinburgh Council's offices at Waverley Court on East Market Street at 12:30. Bring your noodles!
