Always a pleasure to hang out with people who care about streets that are safe and convenient for everyone especially for children, older and disabled people #WalkWheelCycle26

Terrific final session of London Walking, Wheeling & Cycling Conference with @carolinerussell.bsky.social plus two of my favourite academics: @norton.bsky.social and Glenn Lyons
Well, there are conference rooms - and then there’s the West Crypt at London’s Guildhall ✨
No better place to discuss why children aren’t walking, wheeling or cycling more.
(Safety - actual and perceived - plus culture and budgets are among the panel’s interconnected reasons)
Excellent presentation from Paris urban planner Priscilla Benedetti on the introduction of school streets - and an eye-opening graphic on comparative population density 🏙️
Arresting graphic from @willnorman.co.uk on the positive impact of active travel infrastructure in London
Saddle up! London Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Conference 2026 about to begin… #WalkWheelCycle26
