So Chris Boardman didn't get the Sustrans memo: the one that says standards are not key; you only need do something that is marginally better than what was there before (e.g put cycling signs on a muddy track through a field). #LostInSustranslation politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…
@CyclistAttitude @raynoldchow @cyclingjudy Disused railway lines, swamps, ploughed fields.... I'm not even sure they were clear on the leisure cyclist concept.
@raynoldchow @Sustrans @RhinoFive Exactly, @sustrans need to stop claiming to have achieved something they clearly haven't. A hodge-podge of local routes of various surfaces (mostly poor quality and only suitable for walking), and linked together in a poor and inconsistent way, is not a "national cycle route"
Everyone stop giving @sustrans money now. Boycott them and all their products and merchandise. Sustrans was founded in 1983, so have been delivering bollocks infrastructure for 39 years. In comparison, the Dutch got their cycle infrastructure in 10 years. /ht @RhinoFive
Not every cycle track is as smooth and as easy as we'd like Traffic free - yes Pleasant - er...... #ncn1 #berwick #thecyclingartist #roundbritain @Sustrans @Spokes_Bagshot @GiantUK @OrdnanceSurvey
@davidgholland @Pierce1Roger @peerq @Sustrans @scottishcanals @Wheels4Well The current actions/plan have a track record of failure over several decades. How is it more risky to do something that worked in real life elsewhere?
@davidgholland @Pierce1Roger @peerq @Sustrans @scottishcanals @Wheels4Well Then we can all acknowledge that if you want infrastructure you have to campaign for it, rather than beg? Then we can put our resources into a more effective group?
@JohnieClayton_ @AyoCaesar Bless. @OwenJones84 is a young fit man, who clearly rates objective safety correctly, but doesn't understand the importance of subjective safety particularly to other demographics. Yes, if Ash could have a word with him, and get him to check his privilege!
@davidgholland @Pierce1Roger @peerq @Sustrans @scottishcanals @Wheels4Well Doing the same thing over and over (for decades!) and expecting a different result is the definition of madness. Sustrans is taking us nowhere. They should start campaigning for decent infrastructure or admit they have failed and disband.
You call it a cycle lane. Some call it a shared walkway. I say we slap a @sustrans sticker on a signpole and call it a "national cycle route"! #LostinSustranslation
Shall we have a cycling thread? This week social media has blown up again locally with motorist anger that cyclists are on the road. The complaint was about a place with no cycle path, but it's crystallised into "why aren't they on the cycle path". So, here's why!
@davidgholland @Pierce1Roger @peerq @Sustrans @scottishcanals @Wheels4Well So it's "ask nicely, answer is no, OK we'll just slap a number on it and advertise it as a 'national' cycle route anyway"? You seem to have described the problem right there. It seems that one person's pragmatism is another person's fraud.
@Pierce1Roger @peerq @Sustrans @scottishcanals @Wheels4Well Perhaps Sustrans needs to put their foot down if a landowner demands unreasonable things, or just pack it in and get out of the whole national cycle route business? #lostinsustranslation
They could look on the bright side and use it to practice bunny hops? #LostInSustranslation
Hello @Sustrans and @scottishcanals ! Can you explain how this gate on NCN 78 by the Caledonian Canal was allowed to be built? It is completely impassable for people using a wheelchairs / hand cycle. Can you please invert it, or just remove it altogether. Thanks 👍 @Wheels4Well
Breaking: European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg grants rule 39 request to stop the flight to Rwanda from leaving. Basis: real risk of inhuman and degrading treatment (Art. 3 ECHR). Please share - government must comply.
Wait ‘til London finds out about cars. 😉
@angus_f_h @Sustrans Not really the point. As there has never been any collision on that road involving a pedal cycle and pedestrian, or horse, we can deduce that there is no actual problem.
Tell me you're cyclophobic without telling me you're cyclophobic. (On @sustrans "National" Cycle Route 21, one of the better sections seeing as it goes over fields, along mud tracks, along rutted stoney ground, etc.) #lostinSustranslation #nationaldisgrace
@PlasticPlanners In this case the drivers in their fast cars, who overtake walkers and cyclists dangerously, are the parents who pay the £14K per term school fees.
@SustransLondon @JamesCleeton We are waiting for you to make #ActiveTravel possible for everyone since July 1977. The Dutch built all their cycle paths in a shorter period of time @Sustrans #LostinSustranslation
Many kids would have had the time of their lives on Sunday. But #RideLondon #FreeRide was next to a complete waste of time because they will have to wait a whole year before maybe being able to ride in London again. Sort it out @MayorofLondon, London should be for people not cars
@jacopasbass @peterwalker99 You need to understand risk. You think that because the liklihood drops (fewer vulnerable road users) this is a significant factor. However the other consideration in risk is is the consequences if you do hit them. The consequences at that speed are significant injury or death.
