@antimega Yeah, that’ll be it. And doesn’t say much about density or choice.

@antimega What is it you don’t agree with? I always find “the nearest chain” maps like that odd, but can’t define why they feel wrong.

@antimega I did classes at City Lit. citylit.ac.uk/search?submiss… They don’t seem to list the teachers, but Chika Nakagawa was great.

I’m surprised, but pleased: Pickles has turned down the development plans for Smithfield General Market: islingtongazette.co.uk/news/crime-cou…

@frankieroberto @tomtaylor I was optimistic. But going to Berlin and Amsterdam made me realise how slow we change and how far we could go.

@felix_cohen @frankieroberto @tomtaylor Hard to believe that mass cyclists annoying car drivers haven’t encouraged better cycle facilities.

@frankieroberto @tomtaylor I’ve seen “we should pedestrianise this road” debates go on for decades. You’re more optimistic than me :)

@frankieroberto @tomtaylor Er, for a day for a huge event that loads of people like.

@tomtaylor I’m sure there is but, yes, it seems a bit of a tangent from (what I assume is) the stated goal.

@tomtaylor @antimega It’s a bit like thinking Olympic cycling / TdF will encourage a Dutch/Danish/etc cycling culture.
