Gun to to your head, what is the *best* Simpsons joke? However you wanna define it; pics, GIFs, clips, and overwrought explanations welcome.
Can any of my US people help?
I am going to be in Detroit in early October, hoping to find out more about neighborhood-led public space projects in Detroit as part of @ChurchillFship. Any suggestions of who to meet/where to visit? @CityofDetroit @DetroitPlanning @LISC_Detroit @Eric_S_Thomas

I suspect this will have an astronomically bigger impact on how people positively perceive cities and “density done well” than anything a city planner like me will ever say. Thanks @taylorswift13. #DensityDoneWell #TaylorSwift

Hey @foxtons ! Any way we could get your estate agents to stop making the streets they're trying to sell on worse by driving around in cars....and get some cargo bikes instead? I'll help if so.
Bicycles are great, tandems are better...
"To get out there and feel good about myself...like I'm living in the moment." Norman's tandem bike is his favourite thing he owns. It's his ticket to freedom and a way of keeping his mental and physical health in check. The power of #activetravel #joyinjourneys @Wheels4Well

"The more we move people into active travel, the less pollution there will be." - @CMO_england
Just switching to electric cars won't solve air pollution problems & wider health issues. We must invest in alternatives to car use, incl #ActiveTravel.

Watch this video to see the positive difference that a #schoolstreet has made to a primary school in Haringey, London: “It’s just changed the whole environment around us; it's a nice community vibe.” Well done @haringeycouncil👏 #schoolstreets #activetravel #transportindependence
Do we dare to dream? So people focused...
NEW | Our vision for a car-free crossing!

I love this mainly because it’s named to reference Hyperloop only instead of futuristic tunnels and robot cars, it’s buses
Detailed maps of London's Superloop bus service released

Transport for London (TfL) has shown off new bus maps for the proposed Superloop network, showing suggested stops and how it connects to transport links, town centres and local services.

Is there a different type of low traffic neighbourhood in the UK that is less controversial? The holiday park.

We want to hear from everyone when we trial new changes in our Safe and Healthy Streets schemes! @SustransLondon helped us run a bike ride for people with a range of disabilities to test how trial cycle lanes worked for them. Your Feedback helps us! safetravelcamden.commonplace…

Would be great to see defibrillators added to this and the scheme extended to @Uber and other ride-sharing schemes. It would mean most of Londoners would be minutes away from the life-saving care on our streets @TfL

Mad to think before we had cars with boots people would have to put all their shopping into a horses butt.

Wonder if there's potential in future years to replace the camera motorcycles with electric cargo bikes? @LondonMarathon @BBCSport

10 years ago today we installed NYC's first Citi Bike station. They said that bikes would bring traffic chaos, danger & lawsuits. What happened instead was history: 178 million trips, 100k rides daily on 28k bikes, turning NYC into one of the world's great cycling cities.

Now this is a celebration 🥳 Follow along as our own @AliSustransNE cycles from Edinburgh to London to mark a milestone birthday and her love of cycling and @Sustrans. Good luck Ali, may the wind be always at your back! #thankyoutour
I've just turned 40 so instead of having one party. I'm taking the party to all my favourite people via the NCN. Starting in Edinburgh and slowly pedaling my way back to London. At least that's the plan and here's the route. #thankyoutour @SustransLondon
What a route! Can't wait to join you for a little bit Ali. Tailwinds.
