ETSC: Mutual Recognition Deal with U.S. Will Cost Lives on Europe’s Roads
By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…

Voor de herinrichting van het einde van de #A12 tot stadsboulevard heeft #Brussel #Mobiliteit op 12 en 13 augustus een voetgangers- en fietsersbrug geplaatst aan de Dikke Linde-rotonde. Deze brug is een belangrijke schakel voor de inrichting van een snelle en veilige fietsroute.

Toen ik dagelijks 14km x 2 naar Antwerpen fietstpendelde had ik één, opeens kuiten, en twee, was ik vijf kilo kwijt op enkele maanden. Met een elektrische fiets. No way had ik die 28 gedaan met een analoge fiets. Deze 50er geraakt niet zonder grote frustratie de viaducten over.

At a big active travel conference in York, Chris Whitty is explaining how amazing physical activity is for health, and how it needs to be built into everyday life. Those who benefit most are those who currently do nothing, followed by those who do little, he says.

Cycling isn’t just good for your health – It’s good for the planet, our cities, and the economy.

✔️ Over 92,000 km of EuroVelo cycling routes across Europe
✔️ Nearly 10 million bicycles produced yearly in the EU
✔️ 1.35 million jobs supported by the EU cycling sector
Stylised map of Europe formed by colorful interconnected cycling routes, representing all the EuroVelo routes across Europe. Three bicycle icons are placed across the map. The text reads: 'Two wheels. One Europe. Endless possibilities.' A logo of the European Commission is shown in the bottom right corner.
