Word of the day is ‘snollygoster’ (19th century): one who abandons their principles for short-term gain or power.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

We know who are killing our children. So stop disciplining them and start taking away the danger.
The only proper way to present road safety statistics is through a crash matrix.
Where's the protected bike lane gone? Just walking on the pavement and had a near miss from a car undertaking. FFS

An old colleague called me, upset. He watched an elderly woman trying to cross at lights, tripping on snow, breaking bones, in agony, taken to hospital. He asks that I ask this: could those who can help to #ClearYourCrossings / #DoYourBit removing snow to help keep everyone safe?

Our cities don't need driverless cars.
Instead, they desperately need more carless drivers!

So judging by the team sports happening in and around one of Edinburgh's public parks tonight, physical distancing is done?

Whether you think Dominic Cummings is right or wrong, we do not boo people in the street, or make them feel unable to enter their own homes. Utterly disgraceful behaviour that makes me ashamed to be a Brit.
