"the evidence suggests that high-bicycling-mode-share cities are not only safer for bicyclists but for all road users" 👀

@talkcentss That's why roads and cities should not be designed for cars only

@StellMun @IsaacSileku Will sections of the two streets be closed until 2000 or 1600?

In collaboration with the Western Cape Department of Mobility, we’re celebrating Transport Month with an exciting open street event that prioritises pedestrians and cyclists on Church and parts of Andringa Street. 🗓️ 22 October 2025 @IsaacSileku

@NewStreetsSA Proper loop racks also not available at most local supermarkets in #Stellenbosch.

Cape Town needs more bicycle parking. It can't be that a mall has a 1000 car parking bays and no bicycle parking. (1 car parking space = 8+ bicycles). A city-led initiative would be a good start.

@StellMun kry dit hotagter. Gelukkig weet ons fietsry is die antwoord op ons dorp

Many against parking plan of @StellMun. This project goes against the municipality’s vision of car-free living in the CBD

We have a better solution: park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts of town, combined with investments in NMT or even a congestion relief charged like @cityoflondon. This aligns with Stellenbosch’s goals of sustainability and reduced car dependency.

Say no to a parkade in the centre of Stellenbosch! It’s not sustainable nor forward thinking and will worsen congestion for years to come🚫 Send an email to the muni: docs.google.com/document/d/1i-… Sign the media statement: docs.google.com/document/d/1oq… Send it before council sits tomorrow!

Thats what chefs do to defrost meat in a minute

In Cape Town it seems we build bad bicycle infrastrukture, few use as a result. We then use the low usage numbers as a reason not invest into more.

@Stuartjamess @bigdamo @tvprp @matthew_barber @CCJasonHogg Umm, so even without lights and bright clothing you did see them, that's what you're saying, so proving it's not what a cyclist is wearing that's the problem it's drivers not paying attention. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Take note, #Chicago is doing something right, and should keep going even further and faster! Bicycling grew more in Chicago than in any other major American city in the last five years. buff.ly/3WMTkcv

@tacticallyurban @CityofCT @geordinhl Would be the ideal solution for Merriman Ave in Stellenbosch to offer more protection for cyclists

Gotta give credit where credit is due 👏@CityofCT @geordinhl This is such a great redesign of Durham Ave, cutting lanes, adding protected NMT paths and pedestrian bulb outs. This is future thinking design and the city will reap rewards for years choosing this design.

@tacticallyurban Why can’t @StellMun listen to its own citizens? We need park and ride facilities on the outskirts of town, not another parking garage.

So @StellMun wants to formalise these plots to be zoned for Parking instead of Public Open space. The car-centric exclusionary planning is revolting. Awful town planning, and archaic - the town will feel the bite of these bad decisions down the line.

@modacitylife This is what Kerkstraat in #Stellenbosch could look like if the political will was there to close the street @VisitStellies @StellMun

Just 20 years ago, drivers could freely enter and park in Delft’s historic core. Then a broad coalition narrowly (19 to 18 votes) passed an autoluwe binnenstad (‘low-car city center’) policy. Now not a single resident or merchant misses the days when cars choked their streets.

I'm a left-wing Jew. I've never been to Israel. I've abhorred Netanyahu for years. I've always wanted peace to prevail. And here's how 7/10, yhe war, and the way "peace protestors" have changed the way I see things permanently.... (1)
