📣 Breaking: European Parliament adopts the revised regulation of #TEN_T. For years, #cycling was not considered relevant in the EU's Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), often resulting in negative impacts on active modes of transport and even barriers for walking and cycling. Thanks to the work of ECF, the promotion of active mobility and cycling has been enshrined within the objectives of the TEN-T network. 🚲 👉 More information: bit.ly/49SQPZg

Well done NZ - an epic Olympics campaign that has resulted in the most medals at the event. 👏🏽👌🏽🎖🥇 Serendipitious to read this article about marginal gains and how that catapulted British cycling. Key take aways: 1) think small, not big 2) adopt a philosophy of continuous improvement 3) focus on progression and compound the improvements and lastly, identify the critical success factors and ensure they are in place, focus improvements around them. We know the benefit of compound interest - let's apply it to development. #marginalgains #atomichabits #tinyhabits #development
