How they collect all the empty beer cans from boats on kings day
Big parties need big bicycle parking garages underneath them
Bit of a traffic jam on Herengracht
For a few decades these residential streets were busy rat runs and most space was crammed with parked cars. Now all through motor traffic is diverted elsewhere and most of the space is now used for greenery, cycle parking and a playground
Soon these will be large neighbourhood underground bins
Tricking the Dutch into giving me, a UK citizen, a personal ov chipkaart remains one of my greatest achievements. Straight off the Eurostar onto a bike for a few euros 😁
“If we’re going to talk about transport, I would say that the great city is not the one that has highways, but one where a child on a tricycle or bicycle can go safely everywhere.” - Enrique Penalosa (Assen, the Netherlands. Video by @Hackneycyclist)
"every family" 50% of households in London have no access to a car. More cycle lanes and low traffic neighbourhoods are what families needs.

Damstraat 1983 and today
Rembrandtplein 1982 and today. Not only has all car parking been removed but all motor traffic has too. This busy square is now only accessible for people on trams, walking or cycling. Car parking makes way for outdoor dining, drinking and socialising. No one wants the cars back
Streets designed to encourage physical and social activity are a right all children should be able to enjoy; not just the Dutch. It requires prioritizing the safety of the most vulnerable; allowing them to experience the outside world on their own terms.

When I first started on my Active Travel journey, I made it explicitly clear that I wish my cycling journeys to be made slower by the abundance of fellow cyclists around me. Better infra = increased journeys = reduced speed = reduced incidents.
Slower cycling is a byproduct of better infrastructure; and moving at an average of 12.4 km/h, the Dutch may have the slowest cyclists in the world. It characterizes an environment that welcomes a wide variety of users who are simply “walking with wheels”—no special gear needed.
@Hackneycyclist Utrecht. Brilliant - even a pedal-powered Tourist Information Centre. Not all the streets are brilliant, though. Most are. The Dutch are a sensible lot.
@RantyHighwayman School streets were well established in Japan as far back as StreetView goes. UK is so backward in protecting active kids. maps.app.goo.gl/YfC5dUhdrDNZEK…
Almost 75% of school-aged children cycle to school in the Netherlands. Active travel comes with many physical and mental benefits for children. Studies have shown that kids in the Netherlands who walk or cycle to school tend to perform better on tasks that require concentration.
@Revolucion077 @Hackneycyclist Because these are residential streets coming into an artery road. The artery road traffic (be it cars, cyclists, or pedestrians) have priority as they go forward over all the little side streets that are attached to the sides of the artery road.
There should be a highly specialist variant of Godwin's law for discussions about cycle lanes and LTNs which states that if you are obliged to cite Vincent Stops in your argument then everyone else can accept this is a tacit admission you're talking nonsense.
@Hackneycyclist Not going to plan this day but you deal with it so gracefully.
@RantyHighwayman @Hackneycyclist You’re not going to get through every Belgian beer in an hour. Are you?
@j0ne_s_ have you seen this map? if you click 'layers' and just tick on 'historic tramways' it shows you all of them railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php
"When it comes to children, it is important to start ingraining a cycling culture at the earliest age. Children that grow up riding their bikes to their schools are able to better concentrate in school..." - @BYCS_org Read more: oecd-forum.org/posts/getting-…
Not everybody can ride a (regular) bike. And that's why bike lanes are so important!
@Hackneycyclist If you get additional invites, i’m keen to have one!
@IsSaddleThereIs @hoxtonrich @metecoban92 Exactly! I cycle this area & C1 approx 6-7 times per week. Why do I not get a say in increased parking that reduces my & my kids' safety as we actively travel?
@netwench @metecoban92 @hackneycouncil It just doesn’t feel like the left hand knows what the right hand is doing…and I do question the understanding of some Officers of the wider issues around what causes the traffic problems we see. This is the list…unbelievable the extent of new space creation.
