Finally, this is a #ToucanCrossing [Two can cross] for use by both #pedestrians and #cyclists. Fun trivia fact: if you take the path to right, you will get to the #UKMetOffice in a couple of minutes.

Another uphill section and so it’s a good idea not only to separate the motor traffic from #cyclists but also #pedestrians. Cycles often bomb down here at high speeds and so that’s another good reason to have separate zones for #walkers.

This old #MasonryArtch #bridge was especially widened by having a #SharedPath attached to it so that there’s a wall between busy motor traffic lanes and #cyclists and #pedestrians. I believe this work won an award for #CyclingInfrastructure.

This part is sloped upwards meaning that #cyclists are usually slower and, if nothing else, would hinder #MotorTraffic, possibly causing frustration and the urge to overtake #bikers dangerously. The solution here is to allow #cycles and pedestrians on this path. The #BusLane is only active on weekday mornings.

In our opinion, all #PeopleWhoBike are “#cyclists.”
Good article, though we’d have edited out “—who’s not a cyclist—.” That was jarring, at odds with rest of piece. @Bicycling @bicycling-magazine-Bicycling
️ (Edit: Just passing this along, not doing the article.) Looking for #cyclists in the #EastBay to help a reporter (Cristina) doing a cycling and climate resiliency article:
“Hi all, I'm a freelance journalist putting together a story on cycling
for climate resilience publication Knee Deep Times
(kneedeeptimes.org). They're a SF Bay Area online news site focused on
infrastructure, science, and policy that will help the SF Bay navigate
and weather climate change.
“I'm writing about cycling and ways to encourage it or make it easier
and safer through infrastructure. Have talked with a Bike East Bay
representative and got some useful info about the upcoming greenway
path from Fremont to Lake Merritt BART, but would love to hear more
perspectives, anecdotes, etc to fill my piece out into a story.
Something interesting, some kind of intriguing character who bikes or
story about someone's cycling adventures.”

#Scotland: #ScotRail has launched a new #Cycle Hub at Inverness station, enhancing facilities for cyclists. Funded by the #Scottish Government’s 2023 UCI Legacy #Cycling Investment Programme, the hub offers 100 additional cycle spaces and a maintenance stand for basic repairs. Located at the Falcon Square entrance and monitored by CCTV, the hub increases the station's total bike storage capacity to 148 cycles, with an extra 48 spaces added nearby.
To celebrate the opening, pupils from Culloden Academy created artwork inspired by the local area, which now adorns the hub's exterior. Additionally, a Brompton bike hire service is available, allowing rentals via the Brompton app or website.
David Lister, ScotRail's Safety, #Sustainability & Asset Director, expressed enthusiasm for the new facility, highlighting its role in promoting active travel and making cycling more accessible for commuters and leisure #cyclists.

When will #cyclists realise they cannot pass pedestrians millimetres away at 30km an hour?
Not only is it highly dangerous, but it’s absolutely terrifying for the victim. I am still shaking.
