I’m a bike riding nerd. I love working out new and different ways to get around on my bike, I love seeing full visitor bike parking outside the supermarket and I love looking at sustainability projects to see how they’ve provided great facilities for people who are riding their bikes.
But here’s a weird thing. I keep seeing sustainability projects with bike facilities that are terrible, or non-existent. How can you be a sustainability consultant if you don’t know anything about what cyclists need and can’t encourage people to get on a bike?
Reducing personal transport emissions are one of the best individual climate actions we can take. Transport emissions are responsible for 12% of our personal carbon pollution and we all have the power to change it. E-bikes are the most accessible form of EVs as well as being a heap of fun.
We need more building practitioners to ride bikes so that more buildings have great cycling facilities. I’d love to work out how to make that happen.
