Following recent discussions on here about shared e-bikes, pavement clutter, and road safety, I wanted to share two short videos that offer a fascinating contrast in how streets work when they are designed around human behaviour: 1. Global Cycling Network – How Dangerous Are London's Cyclists? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKngZ0lWkak [url=https://youtube.com]Global Cycling Network – How Dangerous Are London's Cyclists?[/url] A very balanced look at hard data from London's streets alongside transport psychologists and urban designers. Two findings really stand out: first, human nature doesn't change whether someone is driving, walking, or cycling; second, as the Dutch engineering principle Duurzaam Veilig (Sustainable Safety) puts it, if too many people are breaking rules, the street itself has been designed wrong. 2. Bicycle Rush Hour in Amsterdam (Zero Traffic Lights, Zero Road Rage) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTx6B0Q-VRw [url=https://youtube.com]Bicycle Rush Hour in Amsterdam (Zero Traffic Lights, Zero Road Rage)[/url] Watch hundreds of commuters flow through a busy 5:00 pm junction without a single traffic light, horn, or burst of road rage—almost like a choreographed ballet. When street space is designed intuitively around human movement rather than trying to shoehorn bikes into a car-centric grid, people don't have to stop and overthink every move. Curious to hear what people make of the contrast between the two—and how we bring that kind of practical, mistake-proof design to London's streets and shared e-bike network.
