World: What a Cycling Video Can Tell Us About Public Transit. In which I review Evan Edinger’s London Cycling Video.

Cycling and transit are super complementary, and so when I saw this cycling video, I realized there were a lot of learnings to glean for transit. Read now:

YouTube video by Evan Edinger I Cycled 2500km in London — Here's How It Changed My Life

Beautiful video from @evanedinger.bsky.social showing how cool commuting with a bike can be, especially in a city like London. You experience the city in a more positive and joyful way, and it can even be faster than public transport. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmf6...

That bridge is a menace because drivers get SO antsy and will honk angrily even when they usually need to stop before the busy roundabout anyway

I appreciate the use of the term limebike graveyard for that area haha. Hope the term catches on

what do you want

Well I’m glad my video on the Silvertown tunnel is performing well. I nearly didn’t make it. Geoff Marshall convinced me to at the end of the day! 😅

I’m just happy I got to share footage of that lovely ride to Greenwich park and I hope I got a few more people to consider cycling in London

And here’s @evanedinger.bsky.social’s review of the Silvertown ‘cycle shuttle’ and why it’s such a bad joke.

youtu.be/la8TCKG1ySc?...

It’s gonna take me a bit to get through all the footage. Went to Greenwich via foottunnel as well to time the superior route

Rode the new Silvertown tunnel cycle shuttle today.

I noted that the only way to access the shuttle south side is to cycle on the pavement and a TFL ambassador said they’ve just realised this.

Today.

They installed this infrastructure and didn’t realise it wasn’t even connected?

Embarrassing

The only valid reason I can find is to make up for the constant issues causing the Blackwall Tunnel to close.
But then I just wish they'd convert that one to a multimodal tunnel.

Just went through Silvertown Tunnel an hour ago (on the cycle shuttle) and... yeah just feels like a HUGE waste

haha yeah my conspiracy is bluesky did it so I'd like enough posts to make the algorithm NOT what the reposts turned it into. Phew.

I get your point. But every year or so some "new" social media app pops up and idk if it'll actually be used so I just grab my username just in case, and if I end up using it I do 2FA.

To date this is the first time any of my accounts has had this happen but eh that's why 2FA is so important

I did. Doesn't show up on my end. Tried checking the "log" to find more info but it doesn't go back far enough :/

Still confused HOW but I’ve turned on 2FA for Bluesky now. Surprised it’s email 2FA and not something significantly more secure like authy but yeah.

Bluesky forcing me to like random posts to fix its algorithm thinking it knows what I want after the random hack thing 😭😭😭

I honestly have NO idea. Immediately rushed to change my password, noticed I hadn’t turned on 2FA. But still??? Maybe it’s because my Bluesky is very small that they just had my account in some sort of repost net for a bit? Either way, hoping that solved it but still confused

Met this fella while out filming yesterday. Lovely chap

A large roundabout in Amsterdam with a bidirectional cycle track circling it.

✅ Priority for people cycling and walking at every arm
🚋 Tram stop underneath
🚲 Ample bike parking built in

All modes, integrated and safe. Urban design done right.

Thank you. What a weird decision on that one to repost 3 random things but not mess with my account settings?? Turned on 2FA now. Don’t use this often so didn’t think it that necessary but here we are… still no idea how that happened??

Fascinating

@evanedinger.bsky.social after watching your video on it, I saw them removing the pier while in London

First stop: the Barbican. I saw this pop up in an @evanedinger.bsky.social video and wanted to go ever since. Somewhat dated, but I love the 70s brutalist utopian vibes it gives off. Hardly any tourists around too!

The Nintendo Switch 2 reveal is probably the most underwhelming of any big Nintendo console in my lifetime

No idea what’s going on, but for the past 4 months my videos have regularly been popping off with the YouTube algorithm. I’ve never had this happen before so I’m hoping I can somehow keep it up. 200k views on most videos??? I’m very much used to 40k 🤯
