Research associate @UniStrathclyde thinking about 💧🌲🚲 including with @everytree_ 🌳. Usually found on my 🚲.
Glasgow and around about
Joined November 2009
As it arrives in my city should I be doing something ‘for’ the COP? Or better I just give attention to the ‘everyday’ of my life in Glasgow and how I try and live/engage in this place?… Here’s the tree 🌳 & a 🍁 from it today. I’ll repeat this for the next 2 weeks. #COP26

Bike buses are redefining road use—cutting car reliance, promoting #PhysicalActivity, and addressing climate challenges. Seen as both a transportation shift and a form of activism, they’re driving change for healthier communities. 🔓 https://t.co/4gI6awj3Le

Ah! Loving this Ben 🤩!
Ben in P5 has been working so hard to create a super Thinglink to show how Christmas is celebrated around the world. This is so impressive!

Great to be at @ScotPARC in Edinburgh today presenting a poster on work with @BikeBusShaw (with @DeeHarrPhD) and learning more on the role and value of physical activity! And thinking more about activity, play and place 🤔 @GlobalLocalLGIU #sparc2023

This thought piece explores the definition of play for all ages and touches on the multifaceted benefits of play, especially in the outdoors. It advocates for integrating play into our daily lives,...

Very glad in all my wanderings about the faculties and departments of @UniStrathclyde over 20+ years (😬) to be going along to this as part of the PAFH team :) Hopefully with a nice poster to display at the event too 🤔🚲🚌 …
Get registering! We have a nice contingent travelling through from Strathclyde. Very excited to experience an in-person SPARC after so long! 🏴🏴

But what now for Glasgow to support cycling as a practical, recreational & purely enjoyable form of movement? How to *really* embedded the bike, and other active mobility, in the city’s physical and cultural fabric so it’s not just patches & past memories of an observed event?…

Since the @CyclingWorlds left Glasgow on Sunday I’ve been collecting wee ‘street shadows’- material reminders in the city of a time that has left mental imprints on many. Have you any of your own? Memories from the events, of shadows of when it visited?…

I’ve always loved the way language is punctuated by places: jeans are ‘from Genoa’, denim is from Nîmes in France, suede from Sweden, mayonnaise from Minorca’s Port Mahon, damask from Damascus, sardines and sardonic from Sardinia, and spruce (both the tree and a neat appearance)

I started leading Strathclyde's Active Mobility Hub last year and its been such a buzz! 😁A dream to be working cross-Faculty, speaking different research languages and enjoying our journey. 😄Our latest opportunity: Do your Masters with us! ➡️DM or email me to discuss.

A great assemblage of lots of things watery…
Not sure throwing yourself into designing a website is the standard response to a burglary, but that seems to be what's happened. I'm pleased with this as a shiny new place to showcase photos & share sea journeys. Why not take a look... https://t.co/GI6AlUGMPx

"In the 1960s, urban planners were convinced cars had to get everywhere. And everywhere fast. Today they rather dedicate valuable city center space to people." With the conversion of motorway to waterway, Utrecht corrects a historic urban design mistake: https://t.co/5btmaedg1V

I know people like @ChristyMearns have fought to support an alternative vision for this as a space for nature and people.

I find it hard to think this was 3 years ago. But the #Banksy Cut & Run exhibition @GlasgowGoMA at the end of this street brings it back to mind. This remains a car park. The mural and trees are still threatened by development. We could do so much better @GlasgowCC.
Each day in June I sat in Glasgow’s Ingram St car park with a coffee and my book, and counted the returning cars. Their numbers ebbed and flowed- advancing on weekdays, retreating at weekends. But steadily reclaiming the space and pushing me out. Here’s a photo collage and graph.

My inbox is always filled with people concerned about road safety, car dominance and lack of space for people. Great to see this research being done in Shawlands @UniStrathclyde @DeeHarrPhD

How can kids feel safer cycling to school? These children in Scotland are joining together to form a "bike bus". 🚲 🚌 Hear more 🎧 https://t.co/gVHbAM2coy

Cliff walk to Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway. The start (or end) of Scotland’s longest walk, the Southern Upland Way… @VisitScotland
