The reason there will be no ‘fuel crisis’ in the Netherlands is that every town, city, & village in the land is connected by fully-segregated cycle lanes. It’s possible for the Dutch to simply stop driving while fuel is short and prices are high. That’s real energy resilience.

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

If every council in the U.K had introduced the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, School Streets, cycle lanes, and 24-hour bus lanes I delivered in 2020 when Cabinet Member for Transport in Hackney, we wouldn’t need to worry about yet another ‘petrol crisis’…👇

Continuous misting of fruit and vegetables for increased longevity and reduced food waste. Assen, Netherlands. The differences between the U.K and continental Europe in terms wealth and capital investment are really beginning to show.

Good afternoon. Onshore wind farms currently occupy around 0.02% of the U.K. To place that in context, Jeremy Clarkson’s farm occupies around 10% of the total area of ALL onshore wind turbines in the U.K. Many of these turbines are also keeping British farmers in business.

Welcome to clean, prosperous, friendly Zwolle, Netherlands, where cyclists outnumber drivers, nobody needs to wear a helmet, there are no dubious campaigns against bus stop bypasses, and both young and old enjoy the freedom of safe, segregated cycling. This could be your city.

If you’re wondering why your local high street is dying, have you considered the possibility that car dominance, poor public transport links, a lack of cycle lanes, and the absence of high quality street cleaning and green infrastructure are amongst the chief reasons?

In the Netherlands, they've used bus stop bypasses for decades. This is partially why the Dutch cycle 1,108km a year and the English cycle 97km a year. The data on bus stop bypass safety is clear, which is why anti-bus stop bypass campaigners ignore it.

Groningen, Netherlands. Huge, thriving market; not a closed shop in sight. Every depressed, crumbling town centre in the U.K could look like this, if only the main political parties weren't committed to bribing drivers for their votes.

To achieve a real cycling revolution in the U.K, we need to connect every village, town, suburb, and city with fully-segregated cycle lanes. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

I have a message from the Netherlands for every Councillor, every Parliamentarian, and every Assembly Member in the country who thinks the U.K’s roads are safe enough for your children. Get on board or get gone.

The aggregate effect of rainwater gardens, swales, and street trees on biodiversity, heatwave mitigation, and surface water absorption, and mental health and wellbeing is enormous. Getting them into every city, town, & village in the U.K should be a strategic national priority.

An LTN opponent once FOI’d ambulance times inside the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods I delivered in Hackney, but kept the results quiet, because ambulances were found to be getting to addresses in the LTNs more quickly than before they were introduced…😂
