Jersey could take inspiration from the Netherlands when it comes to promoting safe and sustainable travel, according to @Cycle4Jersey.
They made the comments after the @Cycling_Embassy's Shelley Bontje gave a talk at the invitation of @architecturejsy.

In many low & middle income countries, road traffic injuries are a major cause of death- for people walking, cycling, children going to/from school. @Kevin_Watkins_ & I did a policy brief on this - incl. why speed limits are crucial part of road safety. globalfueleconomy.org/media/…

Your reminder that *despite* 43% increase in cycling in 2020 vs 2019 there was no increase in pedestrians killed in collisions involving a cyclist. However a 21% reduction in road miles DRIVEN resulted in a 29% decrease in pedestrians killed in collisions involving a driver. 🤷♂️

Every time I see somebody riding an eBike for the first time, they've got a huge smile on their face. Our eBikes, combined with high-quality infrastructure, can open up cycling for many more people.
Delighted to welcome the first eBikes to the @WMCycleHire fleet this week.

The disaster calls into question some of Amazon's key business practices.
Only 7 of 190 people working at the facility were full-time staff.
Amazon’s dependence on contractors allows them to avoid liability for accidents and undercut union organizing.

Every large workplace should offer this for its employees, but for the NHS it should be absolutely standard.
Well this is exciting & a long time coming, installation of @BartsHospital improved secure cycle storage (swipe access in and out, CCTV & will have a maintenance station) - this will more than double previous capacity thanks to @Barts_Charity support for active travel.

Would prefer a road safety message to focus on the causes and how to avoid.
Emotions will inevitably run high when a vulnerable road user is almost pancaked.
