One week after our elevated railway is built over Bell St and shock horror the #congestion is still there! Perhaps the problem was the #cars, not the trains?

#cargobike testing in our lab over the last month had revealed, wait for it, that these vehicles are really useful and can replace a lot of car trips. We are loving the investigation of what makes #bicycles fit for purpose and how design can make a difference.

Happy world bicycle day! Today I celebrate my family workhorse, the Surly Big Dummy cargo bike. Thousands of kilometres and happy days. No car required. Research on bicycle design is ongoing in the Mobility Design Lab. #changeit

Wow. My government are providing better access to healthcare for people “in vehicles”. I think they mean cars. Can we show up on bikes? What about the thousands of Victorians who can’t or choose not to own cars?

The end of the beg button? There’s a lot to learn about #sustainabletransport in these challenging times.

Field tested. This is how far $4.90 can get you on an Uber JUMP bike in #Melbourne. 18km/h average over 3.2km (in case you were wondering)

So these new #bikes have arrived in #Melbourne. Let’s see how it goes. More utility bikes in our world should be a good thing, right?

This week I’ve started analysing what riders actually do when #bicycle riding. Raises some good questions about riders, bikes, infra, culture.

Since I have a collection now, here’s another anti bicycle sign. This in a State that’s trying to increase bike mode share! And it’s right next to a bike path!

Dear @CityLinkMel what kind of anti-bike rider sign is this? Spotted this morning on the capital city trail shared path. A nice addition to my collection of anti-bicycle signs.
