Things that have been said about cars before but I feel like saying them again
How the sheer size of cars makes them seem more important than they are.
I’m visiting my sister in Adelaide and riding on many quiet streets like this. Often there are also other people on bikes, like that guy up ahead. Take the parked cars out of this streetscape and it’s ‘wow, everyone cycles in Adelaide’. But with them, they dominate the image of the street, even though there’s only 4 of them and 3 of us…

And it’s a shame if it continues perceptions of car dominance, because parts of Adelaide are great to cycle!
Here we are heading in to the Fringe Festival through the parklands 🥰🥰
(it’s pretty ridiculous to have to wear helmets for something you can do wearing a summer dress, carrying a handbag, and in my sister’s case, heavily pregnant. But that’s another post).
