Chillingham Road Primary school had a problem with pavement parking (and driving). Last year I installed 2 benches. They were well received. So I fundraised for more benches and planters. Now it's a safe space for everyone to use. @ChilliRoad #tacticalurbanism

@2_Over_4 @CitizenUddin That's vile behaviour. Amazed someone would weaponise the public courts for petty vengeance. Just came across this org, they might have some advice:

@swright1959 @damedevelo My bike was £150. Added a kid seat for £50. Should last me a decade, I'll buy a few brake pads, tyres and maybe a chain in that time.

@MikeyCycling What's going on in the replies here? Absolutely fascinating lack of originality / reading ability / knowledge.

@it_is_fareed I think it's car culture. So many of our historical town squares are car parks, who wants to sit in a car park?

@WCPGW_SU @ChaponaBike123 By your logic in the replies (the cyclists shouldn't be to the right of his lane), the driver is in both lanes, or driving on the wrong side of the road. Personally, I always take the middle in situations like this. Means no idiots will "squeeze past".

Ever see a bus lane and thought it looked empty? Think again! Each bus lane can move more people per minute faster than a typical lane for cars. 💡 Learn more at

@decibel42 @KiMcGuinness @My_Metro Most cars can carry 5 people, but they don't. Even at 1/8th capacity, a bus-lane is still more effective than a mixed-use lane. Everyone wants the same thing, fewer cars. It's counterintuitive to many, but better bus / active travel / metro makes it's easier to drive.

@lf_p Couldn't agree more! The timing is perfect to remove the central motorway in Newcastle too. The Tyne bridge works, Pilgrim place/HMRC and now the Gateshead flyover means we'll have years of behavioral change to capitalize on...

@space4gosforth @NorthEast_CA It's _so_ much money. The only guarantees are more cars and future bills. Urgh
