Rounding off a busy week in New Zealand. Well, Liverpool. Well, actually, I haven't left London. 🍻
How was your week?
A freelance highway engineer's adventures in time & space. The street is not too narrow, your imagination is too narrow.
I'm interested in making urban places safe and easy for walking, wheeling and cycling.
I'm currently trying to make a living running my micro-consultancy, City Infinity, and I also write for Highways Magazine.
I also dabble a bit in home-brewing and fruit growing/ foraging, plus I am a bit of a Lego addict and a fan of silly action films.
I'm based in London, UK.

I completely forgot to post these snaps from the Severn Bridge earlier this week.
We were on our way to the Lad's graduation and of course, I made him take photos, and we went this way to Newport because why not.

I'm pooped and very much looking forward to a couple of quiet days.
Anyway. Since when was Wolverhampton in Italy?
Cheers 🍻

Anyhoo. Given I left home at 05:30 to get to site this morning, I've wound up work and am now enjoying some delicious Scottish produce.

This week's early starts have been me getting across London to look at school streets in Brent, and this morning, I caught this wonderful scene of people using a street in scheme I designed. As intended. ☺️

Another early start on the rails with the people who actually wake #London up before the office folks get going.
Pleased to report the #ElizabethLine is running just fine from the east this morning.

Waiting for a relative at a health centre and of course looked at the unused token cycle park.
Stands too close to each other, too close to the planting bed and rusting bolt-down hoops. I'd lock my bike to the "shelter".

Anyone in #London using the #ElizabethLine might want to check before they leave as is knackered out east.

In the May edition of Highways magazine I hit the anecdotes about car parking and how there should be more honesty around what "free" actually means.
Digital edition free as ever.

The legacy of Eric Pickles out in Little Clacton, Essex.
He stopped councils enforcing yellow lines with CCTV and now councils are using red lines because that wasn't affected.
Trouble is, you can drop off/ pick up on double yellows, but not double red.
So he's made it more draconian. LOL.

It's been a few years, but today I thought I would make a batch of nettle #Beer from my very own stingy-bastard crop.
Picked a load of nettle tips and boiled them up for 30 minutes in 6 litres of water.

A first for me. Train to Lakeside in Essex.
I have bussed here in the past, but a newish local bus service my end to get to C2C rail makes it a doddle.

Cheers, how was your week?

In the April edition of #HighwaysMagazine, I ponder a move to "maintaining accessibility" as being a better approach to faults within walking and wheeling space rather than "making safe".

Harwich has opened another large section of retail park near the port.
Actively trying to kill off it's already fading town centre for a car-centric future.
The UK has a serious disease.

Oh and at Harwich, you have to cycle over the spiral car bridge over the railway which is fine if you have an engine. 😳

Well, we're back in the UK and we'll be heading to a well-known fast food outlet for breakfast before we catch the train back to London.
This of course means cycling in Harwich, although port to retail park at least has quite streets and shared use paths.

At Hoek van Holland port and cars started to come off the afternoon sailing from the UK 30 minutes ago. I reckon whoever is at the back of the queue has at least 15 minutes to wait before they get their biometrics checked.

The Breskens to Vlissingen Ferry was very comfy and had a quick interchange with the train on the north side to take us a few stops to Goes.
Thank goodness. Today was a 31 mile monster day with a 35km/h headwind.
Time to find a beer.

So, in a pub in Hulst having a couple of beers, the landlord (who might have been drinking some of his profits) insisted we tried this. Good Lord.

This was natty. Traffic shuttling under signals with a little uncontrolled side road with cycling unimpeded.
The Department for Transport in the UK would faint.
