But when there is a restriction for motorized vehicles, nobody cares. Like literally every day on this road.
That's what #cycling in #Prague looks like.

India's schoolgirls are leading a silent cycling revolution
The most notable rise in cycling in India has occurred among rural schoolgirls, a study finds.Soutik Biswas (BBC News)
the map is open-source, but be aware that #Locus as app is not.
IMO this is not necessarily a bad thing, software developers have to earn money.
Another great (not #FOSS) app for navigation during sport activities (#running, #cycling, #trekking, etc.) is IMO #komoot : komoot.com
It also uses #openstreetmap data
Edit: OsmAnd is opensource, thx for telling me
A new “continuous sidewalk” in #Kitchener. The design differs from regular sidewalks in that it doesn’t dip down to road level at intersections. It continues at an uninterrupted height. This slows cars turning onto the street + reinforces pedestrian priority through the intersections. Same at the driveways, so you don’t get the up-down “roller coaster effect” when you’re #walking, #cycling or using a wheelchair.

Near Ouarzazate, me and @cobic have just met Czech cyclist Mirek and Slovenian cyclist Katya, who travel all around the world on their bicycles and live on the road and work as artists. I have introduced them to Mastodon and they are now @Cyclingnomads on our #fcz instance...
So if you want Cycling Nomads in Fediverse instead of just on Facebook and Instagram, don't hesitate and follow @Cyclingnomads !

Last night a car hit and killed @natenom , a German bicycle activist who was a passionate advocate for road safety. tellerreport.com/life/2024-01-…
The German (speaking) cycling community has been mourning #Natenom since we received the dreadful news this morning. This site shows the locations of some of us who logged into the app "Critical Map" tonight in honour and memory of Natenom.🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

My friend Jiggy Fetil just posted this on facebook.
It was so good I thought I should share. (Original from 'Movement': blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/prod…) #transport #cycling #traffic #urbanism
Movement
Our dependence on cars is damaging our health - and the planet's. Movement asks radical questions about how we approach the biggest urban problem, reflecting onblackwells.co.uk
"I asked a group of Helsinki officials what role information technology has played in their success reducing crashes in recent years. 'Zero,' replied Palomaki. 'We simply slowed down the cars.'"
Finland also investigates fatal car crashes similarly to how we investigate plane crashes.

How Finland Put Traffic Crashes on Ice
The Nordic nation’s rate of vehicle fatalities is a fraction of the toll in the US, despite a harsh climate and ice-covered streets. Here’s how the Finns do traffic safety.David Zipper (Bloomberg)
Cycling is now the single largest mode of travel during peak times in the City of London, according to a new report.
Cyclists represent 40% of traffic during peak hours and 27% of traffic throughout the day.
Since 1999, the number of motorists has dropped 64% and the number of cyclists has increased 386%.

Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists In City Of London
At peak times, people cycling represent 40% of road traffic in the City and 27% throughout the day.Carlton Reid (Forbes)
The #Netherlands ‘s rural #cycling network could be the eighth wonder of the world: thousands of miles of smooth, signed, scenic, separated paths connecting every remote corner of the country.
The result? A cycle #tourism industry worth €2.4 billion annually to the national economy.

I wrote a technical guide showing how you can create your own orthorectified (aka satellite view/bird mode) imagery, point clouds and 3D models of streets with nothing but a 360 degree camera mounted on bicycle helmet, and the open source photogrammetry software OpenDroneMap.
Why might you want to do this? With your own up-to-date, highly detailed point clouds and imagery you could:
- quantify and communicate inefficient road space allocation
- record necessary infrastructure repairs
- take measurements such as lane and cycleway widths
- measure footpath obstructions in 3D and rate pedestrian amenity
- map kerb features on OpenStreetMap
- survey street parking using the new OSM spec: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/St…
- 3D print a model of your home street!

Tonight I am bringing some #transport, #bikes, #cycling, #urbanism and #antiCar #memes.
I hope you enjoy them and are radicalised like I am. Once you start seeing how we've been trapped by #carDependency you cannot unsee it again.
Let's fight for space for people, cities that are walkable, accesible, clean, green and safe.
Of course, please contribute your own memes to the thread and also radicalise your family, workmates and friends!
"The fourth power law (also known as the fourth power rule) states that the greater the axle load of a vehicle, the greater the stress on a road caused by the motor vehicle."
"The ratio of the car to bicycle is 160,000 to 1.
This means that after 160,000 crossings, the bicycle causes as much damage [to the road] as the car does when driving on the road only once." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_p…

Hi cycling people :) I installed and maintain a free bicycle repair station on a cycle lane near were we live (rural Denmark).
Am always interested in what cycling service infrastructure is available elsewhere, so if you have something: share it here!
