@CyclistAbz1 @DaanVer_ @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC Absolutely, women too have been disproportionately affected by this with a much smaller amount of women choosing cycling as an option and for very good reasons.

RT @ScotGovFrance: 🗣️Nous avons pensé que pour ce #MardiMotduJour, nous vous proposerions une expression écossaise pour varier un peu les plaisirs.
"Haste Ye Back !" signifie faire un retour en vitesse. On l'utilise aussi en guise d'adieu. Aviez-vous déjà entendu cette expression auparavant ?

@CyclistAbz1 @DaanVer_ @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC @PortofAberdeen @BobSanguinetti I used to cycle many moons ago from Regent Quay to Commercial Quay through the harbour before it was fenced off.

@ride_the_north @CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC Listening to the Aberdeen Disability Equity Partnership, run by the council to influence our policy and decisions, to address challenges faced by people with disabilities, to break down barriers, and to improve quality of life, is the right thing to do every day of the week:

@DaanVer_ @CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC I cycle on this road most days.

@ride_the_north @CyclistAbz1 @DaanVer_ @jonhbarron @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC I’m happy to look and learn, this is the only way to progress.

@CyclistAbz1 @DaanVer_ @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC Again, you simply can’t compare our cycling journey to the journey of people with disabilities in those terms.
I refer you to my contribution to the debate about what equity means for folk with disabilities who are just asking for equality.

@ride_the_north @CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC We have cycle infrastructure across the city and more will come. I do like the continent way of share space with pedestrians and public transport, I also understand that not everyone agrees with me.

@DaanVer_ @CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC That’s the point where we don’t have a cycling path on the road, to be fair it’s only for a short distance and cars do shift to the other lane to pass us nowadays.

@CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC It is challenging at times, market street being the worst of course.

@CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC I was there at the launch, I came on my bike of course.

@CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC Sure, and most of them use public transport.
It has not become polarised around disabilities, it is about equality or more to the point about equity. Let’s not ask folk with disabilities to adapt to our world, let’s adapt our world to them and for it to become their world too.

@CyclistAbz1 @jonhbarron @ride_the_north @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC I live in Torry and I asked for the access road to be built before the harbour, it wasn’t. It will be with a new railway bridge and avoiding the traffic hitting both communities of Cove and Torry.

@ride_the_north @jonhbarron @CyclistAbz1 @Bruhn_Hanne @AberdeenCC We are talking about access for all to a city centre and I have been told that in Copenhagen city centre, every metro line has a stop every 150m.
