Made it to #VC2024 via my first experience of slow travel! Glasgow to Ghent using bike>train>bike>ferry>bike (173 miles) via meetings in Amsterdam+Delft. Lots to reflect on. For now, just looking forward to being out of my comfort zone at my first Velo-city Conference conference!

The highlight of my trips these days isn't the booze or the late nights. Its observing the cycling options and getting around by bike. 🥝A Lime Bike pass was my choice from 3 extensive bike share schemes in #Paris 🆒️Thanks to #Paris2024 there are open roads, ⬇️ traffic!

Bike buses are redefining road use—cutting car reliance, promoting #PhysicalActivity, and addressing climate challenges. Seen as both a transportation shift and a form of activism, they’re driving change for healthier communities. 🔓 doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2…

Besides the impact on available road space, car bloat is also a disaster for road surfaces (and by extension public road maintenance budgets which can only stretch so far and achieve so much).
