I've been asked to talk a bit about at a consultation workshop for the waterfront masterplan this evening.

Hoping they've got a screen, then I can open these links and then talk about stuff in front of them.

(And these links are mostly to let me easily find them from not-my-laptop, but figured I'd share them anyhow 😀)

From last night. The last photo is Danny from talking about the mini-roads and bike library projects, which led into me then talking about .

Which was mostly me enthusing about how riding bikes is FUN! And yes, it helps get cars off the streets, with climate-change, improve mental- and physical-health, and all manner of other good stuff. But all that follows from people realising that cycling is enjoyable.

@amcewen intrigued by "bike library projects" is that bikes for loan or books on bikes?! Either way is stuff I wanna see!

@concretedog bikes for loan. Families in/around can get bikes for their kid and then trade them in for bigger ones as they grow.

@amcewen ace. We did a similar system last year for families at Beics Ogwen. Cheap subscription fee meant they could swap bikes and get all jobs/maintenance done on em. Not sure if they are still doing it though.

@concretedog nice! It's a great idea.

And now I know (I presume) how to spell bikes in Welsh 😀

Also from a poke around the Ogwen website I see you're infecting the rest of the town with the - c.f. one of the photos at the bottom of ogwen.wales/en/community-proje 🤣
