#ActiveTransport
If any Western Australians are still awake, please consider signing this petition to make cycling infrastructure around Freo safer. This includes during the Freo traffic bridge closure, and at some of the key pain points on Tydeman Rd, Canning Hwy and the High Street.

@dogfox Hooray!! Bicycles are the gateway drug for #ActiveTransport
Likely of interest to the #urbanists, #ActiveTransport and #SafeStreetsNow folks on here.
@UniOfExeter GSI talk with Professor Dame Henrietta Moore, UCL, social anthropologist and author of "Roadkill", who will discuss how we can move towards a car free future and sustainable transport for all.
Zoom link: https://Universityofexeter.zoom.us/j/91611879533?pwd=XveBn14NbUCUbRTQitcNMtcXYAPaqD.1
(or in person if you're in #Exeter, email infoGSI@exeter.ac.uk for tickets)
Interested in better #rail services between #Canberra and #Sydney ?
More often? Faster? Allowing bikes to be taken on board without the absurdity of putting them in boxes...?
Have your input here.

@ajsadauskas @joakimfors While the green coating is not contiguous, the bike lane is.
If you look at the first photo, the concrete path to the left of the shrubs is the regular footpath for walking. So it's completely separated from both cars and pedestrians.
The dedicated bike lane runs the entire length of the street, beyond the roundabout.
I've attached a screenshot from Google Maps with the bike lane marked in purple.
At the northern end, it connects with a light rail stop, as well as shared pedestrian/cycling paths along the Parramatta River (marked in yellow). There's also a few fairly large apartment developments, and a large girl's school, and a university nearby as well.
The light rail runs to the main public square, business district, a major public hospital, and the main restaurant street in Parramatta. The river runs to the northern end of the business precinct.
(I've circled the main Parramatta Central Business District in red.)
At the southern end, it connects to a shared pedestrian/cycling path under the motorway. (The motorway is elevated with the path underneath. I've marked it in green.) It's also close to the suburban train stations at Granville and Clyde.
So it's a valuable north-south cycling link that significantly improves the overall bike network in the area.

🥁 New publication - Membrane Transport🎉
Can molecules and ions of specific sizes and charges move through the membrane? In Membrane Transport, students learn about the relationships between solute properties, concentrations, and mechanisms for crossing a cellular membrane. #cellMembrane #activeTransport https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/membrane-transport/
Banning combustion engine cars by 2035 will be necessary
"At present, transport accounts for 22% of Australia’s total emissions. It’s also the fastest-growing source. "
"Banning petrol cars by 2035 isn’t radical – it’s necessary. Voluntary transitions and market forces will be too slow. For car-dependent Australia, a 2035 ban may sound like a tough ask. But without it, transport risks becoming an albatross around our necks. The question now is whether Australia has the discipline to match the ambition."

30km/h as a standard on residential streets
“Slowing traffic makes bicycle riding less stressful, encouraging more people to choose bikes as a safe and viable mode of transport...If you get hit by a car travelling at 50km/h, you’ve only got a 1.5-in-10 chance of surviving. If it’s going 30km/h you’ve got a nine-in-10 chance."
"By 2030, transport is likely to overtake electricity to become Australia’s largest emitting sector, according to the Climate Change Authority. It is the only sector where emissions are increasing, according to government data."

Driving and the associated climate change is a major cause of accelerated deterioration of roads.
How cars, trucks and climate disruption are trashing Australia’s roads: Intense rain, landslides and potholes everywhere.

How Copenhagen gave cyclists a green wave
"Getting people out of cars and moving their bodies is an effective way to save lives and protect the planet...The toxic particles that vehicles spew when burning petrol and crunching tyres on tarmac have fuelled further frustration with car-centric planning."
"Copenhagen is up against Amsterdam for the title of Europe’s cycling capital, but other big cities such as Paris and London are starting to catch up. The municipality scored poorly in a recent ranking of child-friendly cycling on the share of roads with 30km/h speed limits, though it has begun to add more."

Meanwhile in Australia mobility design is car-centric, vehicles get bigger and more deadly and grab all the space.
"Although even the commissioners shared some hesitation, they did vote to recommend [Carlsbad] city council still impose the minimum age requirement as a first step.
"They are also recommending council adopt a rule to prohibit passengers for anyone under 16 and look into lobbying the state to create even more protections surrounding e-bikes.”

@kombi @andrewknack
Same votes and I'm enjoying fall doorknocking and events for both Janz and Knack.
I'd love to see a city council that continues the excellent work that's been done during the current administration. Our biggest obstacles are the developers and the NIMBY crowd!

Have you walked, scooted, cycled or wheeled on Annerley rd in #Magandjin / #Brisbane? Or have you ever wanted to do that but found it inadequate?
Council is running a survey and a mapping activity to get people's opinions, experiences, and suggested improvements to plan for potential changes in active travel infrastructure for this important part of the network.

As the San Diego County, California’s City of Carlsbad "Snapshot of fines associated with violations” in https://www.carlsbadca.gov/departments/streets-traffic/traffic-safety/electric-bikes notes, “The actual fine does not include approximately $300 dollars in additional court fees.”
Similarly true here in Monterey County. For example, while state law allows a $25 fine for Helmet Required [for minors], 21212(a) CVC, in actuality, if you’re under 18 and are cited for no helmet in Monterey County, you’re typically going to be out $193 due the court, not $25. That’s why Bicycling Monterey offers an alternative https://bikemonterey.org/bike-equity-project-alternative-to-fine-for-traffic-citations.html that is appreciated by local families: https://bikemonterey.org/youth-bike-and-sometimes-receive-citations.html.
Donations to help support that project — or to provide helmets for youth without one — are needed and appreciated. How to donate: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations

Mobility design for mortality and morbidity
"Traffic pollution contributes to more than 1,800 premature deaths per year, study estimates. Vehicle pollution may contribute to more deaths each year than the number caused by road accidents."

If fire risk is the standard, shouldn't fossil-fuel vehicles be the first to be banned? Not e-bikes on trains?
Lithium battery fires are rare. Victoria’s proposed e-bike and e-scooter train ban punishes clean mobility, ignoring the far greater fire and safety hazards of petrol-powered transport.

The most frustrating thing about bicycle advocacy in Australia is that all the data is there, we've got in principle support from local councils and the state governments, and government plans for handling future traffic congestion and emissions reductions are relying on significant number (25%) of trips to be via active transport in a relatively short time frame (2030) but getting infrastructure to support these clearly stated goals is like squeezing water from a stone.
It's not a money problem or a logistics problem but only a problem of political will to do the things they need to do to meet the targets they've set.
In our “Resources on Riding Skills, Bike Laws, and Safety” section https://bikemonterey.org/resources/resources-on-riding-skills-bike-laws-and-safety is a list of resources we have created, as well as resources from others.
Among the latter is #BikeLeague’s new video series — Camiones Grandes y Bicicletas / Big Trucks and Bikes. https://bikeleague.org/new-video-series-big-trucks-and-bikes-educating-truck-drivers-to-save-lives/ It is dedicated to the memory of Sarah Debbink Langenkamp, a U.S. diplomat who had been safely evacuated from Ukraine in summer 2022, then killed weeks later while biking home in Bethesda, Maryland. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/18/1137817706/she-was-a-diplomat-in-ukraine-when-war-came-in-a-u-s-suburb-a-truck-took-her-lif
