“If your first step is a bit shit, it leads to the car door, and then it doesn’t matter what you do. Active travel is the foundation of a thriving public transport network, even if it’s just walking to the bus stop.” This is very true, and also the headline of the article around the negative impact that the in-built anti-cycling attitude has on the wider active travel cause. Another reason why I think that the constant narrow framing of active travel as “Walking and Cycling” can be a bit unhelpful - because many people/policy makers seem to carry an inexplicable negative bias towards the second half of that title!

Oulu, Finland's success as the 'winter cycling capital', offers valuable insights for property developers and urban planners. Even in the middle of winter, the cycling share in Oulu is 10% —about the same as the cycling share in Helsinki during summer (Traficom, 2023). The city's approach demonstrates that fostering year-round cycling goes beyond infrastructure, emphasising the importance of local context and inclusive culture. "Oulu proves that it's not just the infrastructure, but also the culture, education, and maintenance that make cycling work." https://lnkd.in/giiVf3jm #wintercycling #activetravel #finland #Oulu
