Marcius 15 ter, Budapest (StreetView, URB-I).jpgWebsite catalogues Google StreetView images before and after cycle improvements
The URB-I website has uploaded Google StreetView images of urban streets before and after improvement works. Thousands of streets from throughout the world have been documented, many of which showcase cycling improvements.
URB-I, short for ‘urban ideas’ is a Brazilian start-up whose motto is “simple transformations can change the way we perceive public space.”
Its aim is to make cities better, more liveable and democratic and the before-after section of the site is intended to provide people with ideas and inspiration.
The team says:
“Part of our mission is to "open the eyes", sharing knowledge about what good urban design practice means and how it affects our lives in the cities.
“Our goal is to come up with ideas for the improvement of the city, generate interventions, spark people's imagination, demonstrating that simple changes can change dynamics, perceptions, enhance and bring quality to the public spaces.”
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

Such a shame there appears to be so few people riding bikes in these pics - before or after.
Turning roads into streets.
Bang on about parking.
Fuck-all to do with Brexit or Trump, and posting on every thread about one or the other is just trolling.
Nah, I reckon he's bang on.
Seriously, enough of spewing your irrelevant nonsense on every topic.
I bet the above images cause the average car-loving, Trump-supporting, Brexit-voting reactionary's chest to tighen in pure blinding rage at the curtailment of one of the few things they regard as a basic human right: parking. Therefore I thoroughly approve.
The internets calls this being 'Triggered' keep up with the lingo, man.
I had assumed that being 'triggered' was something to do with Only Fools and Horses...
