In light of #CycleToWorkDay today, take a look at our blog written by our cycling team, providing insight into what to do after a #cycling accident. https://lnkd.in/ek_AThgu

New research shows that the number of crashes increases with the volume of bicycle traffic, no big surprise, but it also shows that the construction of a separate cycle path along a 50 km road increases safety more than reducing the maximum speed to 30 km/h. Another vindication of our plea for more safe and separate cycling infrastructure European Cyclists' Federation Below find a link to this new PhD research at University of Twente by Teun Uijtdewilligen on the relationship between increasing bicycle volumes and objective and subjective traffic safety in the four major Dutch cities, based on detailed data. https://lnkd.in/dzrCXFCZ #roadsafety #cycling #bicycle

Dutch study reveals increasing risk of cycling traffic accidents in its cities: a recent study by Teun Uitdewilligen, researcher at the Institute for Road Safety Research (SWOV), reveals a correlation between rising cycling volumes and increased accident risks in major Dutch cities. https://buff.ly/3Of8q53 #Cycling #Netherlands #RoadSafety

The #TourDeFrance is getting into its more exciting stages! 🚴♂️Did you know that ➡ #PVC plays an essential role in cycling? The material is vital for many #bike components. Take rim tape, for example: it protects inner tubes from punctures by covering spoke holes, minimizing the risk of flats. Thanks to PVC, cyclists can enjoy a smoother, safer ride.

My question is, is it too subtle? 🤣🤣🤣 Do we need a few more Gasketier logos on there?🤣🤣🤣 To find out more about Team PTL check out puretransfer.com. #cycling #cyclingkit #teamptl #gasketier #autumn

Love this. And what Clare says here about saving time really resonates. ⌚ One of the most basic things I love about getting around by bike - and which I didn't entirely appreciate until getting into the habit in the Netherlands a few years ago, just like Clare - is just how reliable it is timing-wise. For example, my regular cycle to or from the office takes 18 minutes exactly, whether I set off at 8am, at 2pm or in the middle of evening rush hour. 18 minutes whether it's rain or shine, and whether it's during school term or the middle of the summer holidays. Transport by your own timetable. When people say cycling helps reduce stress, for me, this is one of the most obvious and tangible ways that happens, with it always feeling like a bit of a life-hack to breeze past traffic on my way to the destination. With more safe, well-connected cycling routes in our towns and cities that take people where they need to go, even more people can benefit from this too. 🚲 #cycling #activetravel
