It’s fine that Farage goes to Australia for I’m a Celebrity. If his first task is to travel there in a dinghy, and when he arrives, Ant and Dec shout at him on the beach through a megaphone ‘here’s another one, swarming here just to make easy money’, then he’s sent to Rwanda.
I’m often asked about/criticised over posting pics on my upright bike without wearing a helmet. This piece explains why it’s a much more nuanced debate than most people take the time for. If you’re interested, please do read in full. Thanks @rouleur for the space to explore.
Using 'accident' to describe a crash presumes no one was at fault, and implies the crash was unexpected and unavoidable. In reality, road deaths are preventable and often caused by the actions of drivers, and failures in infrastructure. It's time to end the language of denial
In 1972, the Amsterdam neighbourhood of De Pijp saw clashes between parents who wanted safer streets for kids and drivers who wanted to cut through. I went to visit yesterday, 51 years later. The traffic filters and playgrounds remain. It is a place many people want to live. 🧵
"The Netherlands is both a cycling and drivers' paradise. Because of the many short trips done by more space-efficient means of travel such as foot, bicycle and public transport, much road space is saved for people who want to (or need to) drive." (p. 36) polisnetwork.eu/cities-in-moti…

It might be hard, but definitely not impossible to change our streets. We did it before, and we can do it again! —Barbarosseplatz, #Cologne (1900, now and future) (📹 by digital gardener @jan_kamensky)
How journalists report traffic violence: "The pedestrian, who may have been distracted by their phone, died at the hospital." "The cyclist, who was wearing a helmet, will be buried Friday." "The driver, who remained at the scene, fears they will suffer nightmares."
Sign posts can make getting around streets difficult for some disabled people They take up pavement space, are another obstacle for people to navigate and can sometimes be pretty pointless But, if we’re going to have them, how can we make sign posts better? I’ll go first…
Today people in Birmingham came together to say "Enough is Enough". Four people have been killed on our roads in the last month, two of whom have been children. Last week a child and their older sibling were run over on their way to school. @for_birmingham is demanding action
