Here is a 🧵on what I think the ideal cycleway should look like, based on many years of me cycling on Dutch cycle infrastructure all over the country 👇
Good urban design makes cycling after dark inviting and comfortable for everyone.
When you can let your five-year-old child play on the street that becomes genuinely safe street
You cannot safely share any space with heavy machinery
So safe cycle route is a cycle route that does not have motor vehicles on it
We need a car free network
Hope they learn.
Bike parking is bike infrastructure.
Bike parking can also be green infrastructure.

Sometimes #CarryShitOlympics just happens to you... Was at a friend's place for a clothing swap (brought 2 Ikea bags of clothes!!) & her neighbour was selling a countertop dishwasher! So of course I biked home with a dishwasher. 🤣
Bloody state of this! FFS!! @yplac.bsky.social

If your cycle infrastructure isn't safe enough for everyone, of any age, to feel they can use it, then your cycle infrastructure isn't safe enough.
“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle & go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”

Cycling keeps me young in mind & body & “young at heart” especially when a lot of it is done with inspirational older riders like Eric here today who’s 87 in August & still rides 100 road miles every week Such a pleasure & an honour to share my hobby with people like Eric 🚴😁
Protected cycle tracks are needed alongside rural main roads, with the cycle tracks continuing at roundabouts with cycle priority, so teenagers can safely cycle home with their fishing rod in their hand after a day out fishing with friends
Schwalbe FTW.
Road safety requires changes to street design. Not the equivalent of a wet floor sign saying "please don't run over my child".
Flags and bubbles featured heavily on yesterday's #KidicalMass, spreading the message and spreading smiles.

It was a great ride. Good look with your ride in June. 🚴
