A few weeks ago I promised to get back to some of the useful comments I received in reaction to my tweet on #WorldBicycleDay and a retweet of @BuduMalli’s tweet regarding infra change in Amsterdam.
A 🚲 🧵, there is overlap with my earlier tweets:

First of all, these are very challenging times for #SriLanka and I understand some people are unhappy with celebrating 🚴🏾♂️ as many currently resort to cycling because there is no other option.
And yes, safe infrastructure & a cycling friendly code of the road are a must!

However, for infra & driving habits to change, considerable scale, demand and clout is needed.
In 🇳🇱 cycling gained popularity during the oil crisis in 1973. And the public demand for safe cycling infra followed as accidents increased.
Since then we never stopped 🚴🏼♀️.

Malaysia and many other countries before returning to India in 1937. Mukherjee chronicled their fantastic adventures in the book, Du Chakay Duniya (The World on Two Wheels) which was first published in 1986. 3/3

Grossartige Frauen auf Fahrrädern (die Geschichte geschrieben haben und von denen ihr vermutlich trotzdem noch nie etwas gehört habt).

1. Amelie Rother: Obwohl sie deswegen beschimpft wurde, gehörte die Berlinerin Amelie Rother zu den ersten Frauen, die sich öffentlich auf das Fahrrad setzen. In den 1890ern begann sie, Rennen zu fahren – nicht, um «unsere Reize den Zuschauern zu präsentieren», ...
... wie sie 1897 schrieb. «Wir wollten dem Publikum zeigen, dass wir Herrinnen unserer Maschinen waren und den Damen zurufen: Hier, seht her und macht es uns nach! Beides ist uns gelungen.»

23-year-old Nidhin Maliyekkal cycled from his hometown Thrissur in Kerala to Kashmir.
And, he sold tea to make ends meet while on this journey.
"What started with short journeys locally grew into a passion"

What inspired him?
“I used to make tea and juice at a restaurant in Thrissur. But because of the pandemic, I lost my job. While at home I decided that I needed to step out and fulfil one of my dreams of cycling to Kashmir. And that was my moment!" Maliyekkal said

Further to this #popup #cycling #sustainability #zerocarbon #worldcyclingday might appear counter-intuitive that Manchester is not supportive of pop up cycle lanes. So a thread👇🚲🚴🚴♀️
Pop up cycle lanes have traction with the press and looks like they are also popular with (commuter) cyclists. Light segregation schemes are becoming increasingly popular in other cities on the back of the Covid19 pandemic #Cycling #Manchester
Sure they offer value for money and with being temporary, they also offer adaptability. Estimated cost of constructing a kerb-separated cycle track in central London is
approximately £700,000 per km, compared to around £60,000 per km for light segregation itf-oecd.org/sites/default/…
