There wasn't that much separated infrastructure other than along the river. But lots of painted lanes drivers respected, and filtered permeability everywhere with good signage. I couldn't read the place names well, but never got lost.

I think Salzburg was my favourite place to ride on this trip so far. And bicycles are clearly a preferred way for locals to travel. I saw many older people pootling about to the shops, mums and dads with cargo bikes and kids seats.

This framing by ABC Australia is appalling.

We most certainly sprawled along highways, freeways and stroads. It's not great in Australian cities, believe me.

In Wales, Cornwall, Edinburgh, London and so many places when most 30mph roads were changed to 20mph, people injured or killed by motor vehicles reduced by 20%+. With minimal change to journey times and £2bn saving in insurance costs it's a huge win. bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

"The single most important behaviour, design or regulation for creating streets conducive to walking and cycling, was physical separation between the modes"

We've got a new study out, learning from a broad mixture of street users, planners and designers

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Highlights
For marginalised street users mode separation is the key to human-scale movement.
Streets conducive to walking and cycling have functional, safe and accessible design.
Professionals must approach street design, regulation and user behaviour holistically.
Combinations of influencing factors persuade people to either use or avoid a street.
There are no easy fixes to the public realm that will work for all non-drivers.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Storm have 4 in 27 years, with 2 others stripped. If they weren't, that's slightly more than the Broncos strike rate

You can tell a city has a bike culture from the number of bike parks there are, and the types of bikes using them. Florence is clearly a city people love to roll around.

Another benefit of bike lanes - you can escape Trump's SS.

All these Just For Men beard nazis sitting on their phones then running like dinky dog catchers after the nearest brown person. Like just any non-white person in the vicinity is their target and I can’t believe Dems aren’t saying fuck this we’re shutting down the government.
