Bicycles on trains enables #velotourism and commuting, but in most markets it is complex and inconsistent. #EU legislation will eventually mandate minimum carriage rules, but for many operators this is lost revenue and operational complexity.

Much as I enjoy #cycling that is not why this issue is important.
As a cyclist, #micromobility or #publictransport user or #pedestrian, thinking about cycling encourages development of better, more inclusive and safer spaces.

Is lack of #data blocking the bigger picture in terms of #cycling / #micromobility? Having looked at data from global cities only a few offer consistent and pan-urban modal split data. Without quality data how can we build #sustainablemobility? #EUHorizon

There are 1bn #bicycles in the world vs 1.5bn cars. I've taken a number of inspirations from these figures in my pending book on #cycling and #micromobility as well as building truly #sustainable cities.

#Velotourism (cycle tourism) is an opportunity to grow local economies, jobs and disperse #tourism activity. Within the #EU there were an estimated 2.3bn cycle tourism trips in 2018 with an economic value of €44bn. This is linked to half a million jobs. These issues are explored in my upcoming book.

Brussels has done much to provide better infrastructure for cyclists and micro-mobility in a city that is still dominated by car traffic. This shows what can be done and builds on increasing cycle promotion in neighbouring Flanders.

Great to attend the #CIE / #CONEBI Cycling Industry summit in Brussels. Some great insights discussed: the need for more data (but what data?); better infrastructure still needs to lead the transition to cycling; the cycling industry needs to speak in a co-ordinated voice to policymakers.

Great to be at the #CIE #Conebi joint event in Brussels today looking #EU #CyclingPolicy. Also, to build interest in my pending book on cycling policy in a global context.

Per capita CO₂ emissions in China now match those in the United Kingdom

When I was born in the 1990s, the average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United Kingdom were about six times higher than in China, but these trends have converged in my lifetime.
