I’ve seen this clip a few times and am always so mad about the backing music. I want to hear the clinky clinky clink of all those bricks, I bet this machine sounds AMAZING!!

Do the maths, Daniel! Amount of trips by bike in London now 1.5 *million* a day, as much as 35% of daily trips on London's extensive (and expensive) Underground network. (3.7m) Bike space and budget are pittance by comparison, but keeping London moving.
The amount of road space dedicated to cycling in central London is already disproportionate to its contribution to passenger transport.

Response to this course to beat 'bikelash' has been overwhelming. Early bird registration closes next Tuesday, 30/9, if you want a lower priced ticket: x.com/StrategicCities/status…

How can cities deal with 'bikelash' and resistance to changing streets? Next April I'll lead the Urban Cycling Institute's new leadership program in Amsterdam. Spaces are limited! More info: urbancyclinginstitute.org/en… @fietsprofessor

Interesting distinction here by London’s bike chief @willnorman on real world vs. online narratives about road safety.
17 Jul 2025
London's Cycling and Walking Commissioner Will Norman has warned that SUVs, dangerous driving, red-light-jumping cyclists, and people generally behaving like “idiots” pose a far greater threat than the “antagonism” that’s “not representative of real life” road.cc/content/news/london-…

How did Amsterdam push cars out of its city? It took a riot! This Tuesday join me, @fietsprofessor @UvA_Amsterdam for this webinar marking the 50th anniversary of the Nieuwmarkt riots, and learn about the discourse which changed that city: events.teams.microsoft.com/e…
