In Denmark and the Netherlands, more women cycle than men, enabled by networks that support their transport needs. To enable more women to cycle on mass in the UK we need to build networks that meet the needs of women and move far beyond a focus on commuters #IWD2022 #BikeIsBest

New research has shown that if most of Melbourne’s workers were to switch from PT to their cars amid the #COVID19 pandemic, we'd need space more than double the size of CBD to park the extra vehicles. Now's the time for greater and safer transport choice.
