"The security for the children meant travelling with another car, and that driving in convoy proved difficult in the busy school run traffic.
Checks on the route took place before term time, but with the school traffic it was deemed not safe enough."

This was a good move. If you are running a quick errand you can get the return for the price of a single. Also good where a journey can be completed more quickly by changing bus.

🙄 Security checked out the royal school run during the summer holidays... Gah!
🚗💨 We could have told them school run traffic can account for 25% of traffic in the morning, layered on top of rush hour traffic.
😜 Please share this to help prevent other security teams making the same mistake.

And why wouldn't you? Cycling, whether on a regular bike or on a cargo, is such a brilliant way to get to school. And to know that as they get older they can do so independently is the dream.

By actually providing a safe, continuous network of paths and cycleways, you help with childhood obesity, air pollution, reduce traffic, free parents from the school run, and build happy confident kids.

This #pavementparking across from a school forced me into the carriageway this morning. The driver shouted to tell me that it was only for a few minutes while they dropped off their kid. Well, I also have a kid, and this endangers lots of people.

The Dutch don't just build cycle tracks, they build cycle networks. Over motorways, under junctions, then branching off to the gym, football pitches & other local destinations.
Safe, direct routes connecting the places people need to go. This is how you make cycling a normal part of everyday life.

Spotted in Glasgow! This lovely new segregated cycleway and footway on Cowcaddens Road.
Have you seen any inspiring cycle infrastructure in other cities recently?
