ForewordThis post has a companion written by Robert Weetman. We have been working collaboratively on something which we think needs to be more widely known, but we also thought it might be fun and useful for us to each write about the subject from our own perspectives. Robert's post is available to read HERE. The…Read more What makes side road junctions pedestrian-friendly?

It’s Actually Motoring Infrastructure
We're hoping to blow your minds a little with this post and as you read through, the little voice in your brain is the cognitive dissonance of motonormativity pulling at your synapses. Moto-what-now? Motonormitivity - an unconscious cognitive bias in which the assumption is made that motor car ownership and use is an unremarkable social…Read more It’s Actually Motoring Infrastructure
Bus Services [No.2] Bill
The creation, debate and adoption and law should probably be boring and something most people don't need to worry about, but there are things which come up from time to time which people should be aware of as they could have a profound impact. The Bus Services [No.2] Bill started as a proposal around bus…Read more Bus Services [No.2] Bill
Movement, Space, Choice & Place
On 26th and 27th March 2025, Mark attended the BCP Council Transport Conference where he gave a talk called "Movement, Space, Choice & Place. You can download his slides from our Community page, but this post is a bit of a narrative that sits behind them. Histon Road, Cambridge. The opening image of Histon Road…Read more Movement, Space, Choice & Place
Rural Idyll
Cycling for transport is often seen as an urban solution, but it can solve some of our rural transport issues too. So, what are some of the issues in our rural places? Motoring has subsumed the road network which means that cycling between rural places takes place on roads where driver speed and traffic flows…Read more Rural Idyll
Reimagine Rotherhithe
Although we need to earn a living, there are sometimes opportunities that arise that will either help exercise our brains or they'll be a bit of fun, but which aren't about raising an invoice. One such opportunity was NLA's Reimagine London competition which we entered a few months ago. Sadly, our project didn't make the…Read more Reimagine Rotherhithe
Bridging The Future
Engineers don't talk about their projects enough and so in the first of an irregular series of posts, we want to bring you some little stories about what we have been working on. OK, it's a bit about promoting our offer, but hopefully we can inspire you along the way too. The Historic Hammersmith Bridge…Read more Bridging The Future
Better Toucan Crossings
The use of toucan crossings has been a standard feature in the provision of shared-use paths for many years in the UK. While shared-use layouts can be perfectly reasonable in the right context, the use of toucan crossings can be problematic to users of large, non-standard, and adapted cycles; and are especially problematic for those…Read more Better Toucan Crossings
Fruition
As a consultant, we get to work on all sorts of projects, but actually seeing things built can be a bit of a hit and miss affair. It is therefore with joy, we are able to revisit a project we delivered at the beginning of last year. The street outside the school. The old situation…Read more Fruition
What Makes Good Cycling Infrastructure?
This might seem to be a relatively straightforward question, but let us just pause for a minute and consider the idea that cycling infrastructure is actually motoring infrastructure on the basis that if it wasn't for the speed and volume of motors we wouldn't be asking the question in the first place. That caveat should…Read more What Makes Good Cycling Infrastructure?
