A view from the cycle path: The Grid - How the Dutch found that the only thing which really encouraged cycling was a dense network of high quality infrastructure
http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2008/09/grid.html
Wednesday, 3 September 2008. The Grid - How the Dutch found that the only thing which really encouraged cycling was a dense network of high quality infrastructure. The map on the right shows an area which is approximately 6.5 km wide. That on the left shows main routes only on a small portion of the map on the right, just over 2 km wide. Nearly all the coloured lines show the positions of good quality cycle paths separated from the road. So these provide a tighter grid than is shown in the picture. That ...

A view from the cycle path: 100% segregation of bikes and cars
http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2012/04/100-segregation-of-bikes-and-cars.html
Monday, 2 April 2012. 100% segregation of bikes and cars. Clear signage gives loading times. Again and again I read comments of the form "even in Holland not all parts of rides are segregated" or talk of "similar road exposure" in the UK vs. the Netherlands. I've been accused of making out that the cycle-path network. In the Netherlands is more extensive than it actually is. Not on an equal basis. It's a through route for bikes but access. City centre streets are busy, but with. Bikes instead of cars.

Bristol Traffic: Just Plain Wrong
http://bristolcars.blogspot.com/2010/06/just-plain-wrong.html
In which we explore the options for getting round Bristol, and the consequences of those decisions. Tuesday, 15 June 2010. What is going on? Bristol Naked Bike Ride? Who's idea was that? I wanted to buy a new Top Gear DVD. Last Sunday, so I set off in the Range Rover for Cabot Circus, only to be confronted by this. Mrs Quercus was proper embarrassed, and the children didn't know where to look. I'll bet it's probably all over Flickr and Youtube by now. Disgusting. I am livid. I'll be contacting the ABD.

A view from the cycle path: September 2014
http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 8 September 2014. Does free car parking make people drive cars? Certainly not when there is a better alternative. A supermarket in the centre of Assen in the 1970s. Note that the car-park is more than full. Conditions for cycling were not particularly pleasant at this time and it should be no surprise that cycling was in decline across the Netherlands. When this photo was taken. Sadly, few places in the world offer people a genuinely free choice to cycle. Cycling in most towns does not feel safe.

Manchester's Advanced Drivers: Tesco's "Helpful drivers" use the pavement...
http://manchestersadvanceddrivers.blogspot.com/2014/01/tescos-helpful-drivers-use-pavement.html
Dedicated to the drivers of Manchester who take the art of driving beyond the norm. Keep death off the roads, drive the cyclists onto the pavement. Tesco's "Helpful drivers" use the pavement. When it happens two Saturday mornings in a row it isn't coincidence. Last Saturday morning, Tesco van parked on the pavement. Same location, the following Saturday, different Tesco van, this time all 4 wheels on the pavement. Must be company policy to piss off pedestrians then! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Manchester's Advanced Drivers: Why Waste ASLs on Cyclists?
http://manchestersadvanceddrivers.blogspot.com/2012/11/why-waste-asls-on-cyclists.html
Dedicated to the drivers of Manchester who take the art of driving beyond the norm. Keep death off the roads, drive the cyclists onto the pavement. Why Waste ASLs on Cyclists? Why should Advanced Stop Lines be only for pedal cycles? Here's a two wheeled motorist and a minicab both making good use of cycle facilities on Deansgate. And here's a hackney carrage doing the same. And whilst we're at it, a Land Rover. But why stop at the ASL? Here's a rich bastard who sticks his Rolls out into the junction.

Dedicated to the drivers of Manchester who take the art of driving beyond the norm. Keep death off the roads, drive the cyclists onto the pavement. Pavement Parking - Manchester Fights Back! Over the past couple of weeks the Manchester traffic wardens have been giving the local pavement parkers a hard time. Tickets have been turning up on cars parked on the pavement at various times of the day. Even on the Pavement Rovers. Today the latest development was a bicycle-mounted warden turning up.

Bristol Traffic: An introduction to surveys
http://bristolcars.blogspot.com/2015/03/an-introduction-to-surveys.html
In which we explore the options for getting round Bristol, and the consequences of those decisions. Saturday, 14 March 2015. An introduction to surveys. Richard Payne of ITV. Has asked by way of our strategic code-sharing and data mining partners, Twitter, how to explain bias and self-selection in surveys. This is a topic dear to our hearts for a number of reasons:. We consider ourselves to Bristol's premier data-driven traffic analysis site. We recently conducted a survey on traffic issues for the city.
