Hello! Sorry we've been quiet these past few months. Running a POP is always full on, and it's hard to keep the momentum going day after day, month after month, and year after year ...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Who's excited for Saturday!? Just a wee reminder that everyone is welcome, and encouraged, to help out with stewarding, if they feel comfortable - blocking junctions as the mass goes past, explaining to pedestrians what we are doing, and generally looking out for everyone!
