@merseycyclists.bsky.socialFantastic turnout by campaigners in Liverpool, protesting the Merseyrail e-bike ban. Politicians seem unified... will we see a rethink? I hope so 🤞 Thanks to @cyclinguk.bsky.social for their help 😎
Show PostYep. For example, a 2021 study in Berlin, in which researchers asked 145 shopkeepers and 2,000 shoppers about their travel. The share of shoppers who drove was 15% less than retailers' estimates, while the portion who took transit, walked, and cycled was higher by 8.1%, 6.2%, and 3%, respectively.
Show Post🚲 Do you take your e-bike on the Merseyrail network? #Merseyfail has banned non-folding e-bikes from its trains and stations. We asked Merseyrail to meet and share the evidence, they said no. We’re challenging the ban via our Cyclists’ Defence Fund. Help us bin the ban: cyclinguk.org/merseyfail
Show PostSo much of our urban anxiety is just the background threat of cars. We're always guarding kids, pets, and ourselves from traffic. What if we designed that danger out of the built environment? Give the space back to people and let carefree life thrive, no matter the age or physical ability.
