Good to see @mrdannyw.bsky.social @heidialexander.bsky.social @liliangreenwood.bsky.social launching the 3rd Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS3) Consultation You can find it here & comment Be good to have a session on this at @activetravelcaf.bsky.social soon www.gov.uk/government/c...

A great write up, thank you. Your powers of recall are stupendous, especially given the temperatures on the day. Boring Leicester actually fits with the @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social vision of #MakingCyclingNormal. Coming to @activetravelcaf.bsky.social soon?

What is surprising is that Loughborough university is dominated by athletes. I see cyclists and runners all the time obviously from the university and they are having to navigate very dangerous roads due to idiotic drivists.

As ever, it's a postcode lottery that never affects driving!

Very interesting and good on Leicester. A shame Leicestershire is failing though. I live just outside Loughborough and there is some really dodgy cycle infra.

*** New blog post *** Back in July, I went for a cycle around Leicester, 10 years after the last time I cycled around Leicester. Here's my write up, with thanks to @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2025/10/live...

Happening tonight @rideleicester.bsky.social www.letsride.co.uk/rides/ride-l...

It's Tuesday! It's Five O'Clock and It's a Crackerjack of an @activetravelcaf.bsky.social with @joyridersuk.bsky.social and @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social email for the link [email protected]

A useful reminder of changing road conditions after drought.

See Leicester Street Design Guide & LTN 1/20 guidelines for likely specific measures …

One for @rideleicester.bsky.social

We all want the same thing regardless of how we get around. Creative done with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

The Council have put out the draft Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for consultation, until the 17th September. This plan sets out their long-term vision & priorities for improving walking, wheeling & cycling routes across the city. consultations.leicester.gov.uk/transport/lc...

Something I just read prompted me to check some government figures. In 2023, 34.52m people held driving licences out of a population of 68.3m. That's just 51% of people Interestingly, DfT like to calculate this percentage using the *adult* population, which gives 74%

Omg @rideleicester.bsky.social @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social

We were delighted to be able to bring Ranty up to date with all things cycling in Leicester, and the odd cold beer on a very hot day. Can't wait to hear his verdict.

My favorite part of this video.

Just one more sleep until the #RideWithRanty. Don't forget to hydrate. #BikeIsBest #Infrastructure #KerbNerdsAssemble @rideleicester.bsky.social @leicsactivetravel.bsky.social @sustrans.bsky.social @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social @hardhatalex.bsky.social

The @rideleicester.bsky.social #BikePark is changing. Sign up for an Active Leicester Cycle Hub membership & securely park your bike. The fee is £10 annually, but anyone who signs up before August 4th will be granted free access for 12 months. activeleicester.gladstonego.cloud/site-finder

I was in the city for a flying visit earlier in the year, but looking forward to having a proper nose around to see what's changed in a decade. therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2015/07/live...

Ever fancied riding with a #Highwayman? On Saturday 12th July join us at the @rideleicester.bsky.social #BikePark at #HighNoon to welcome @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social and ride with him & @hardhatalex.bsky.social on an infrastructure tour with occasional stops for Ranty to #StandAndDeliver

An articulate, authoritative response to the bizarre campaign against floating bus stops and the way the new #BusBill would end the expansion of safe #cycling in England @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social @leicsactivetravel.bsky.social @rideleicester.bsky.social @amandahack.bsky.social

FREE Annual Membership before 7th July ! news.leicester.gov.uk/news-article... @activetravelcaf.bsky.social @danjmartin1.bsky.social @joeearley.bsky.social @hiddenhistoriesjim.bsky.social @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social @timmorton2.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk

The #BikePark is changing, you will need an #ActiveLeicester card/fob to access it in future. Apply before July 7th to get 12 months free. After a year it will be £1 a month or £10 a year. Talk to @rideleicester.bsky.social #BikePark staff for more information.

Signed up. I assume under 11s can leave their bike with an adult member?

There’s no ‘pay as you go’ … It’s a £10 a year membership (Unlimited visits & free for the first year if you sign up before 7th July). This week has been about signing up immediate regular Bike Park users. Next week it goes out via City Council media platforms. It’s been busy so far …

That's not good. I'm an occasional user of the bike park when staying with family in Leicester, guess I'll drive in next time! Do you need an Active Leicester card to use car parks? I very much doubt it...

I hadn't seen this on the @rideleicester.bsky.social Bluesky account. How's it being communicated out? I'm an occasional user. Happy to pay as you go, like the olden days from year two.

well this looks like fun @rideleicester.bsky.social @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social i.emlfiles4.com/cmpimg/6/0/2...

Four little stories from the infrastructure I rode along, looking at the good stuff and the not so good stuff to show a work in progress.

Looking forward to speaking virtually at @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social's AGM this Thursday evening. I'll be talking about some of the things I saw last week in the Netherlands with the title "built to last, but seeking perfection".

Just two more sleeps until this

The APPGCW has published its active travel and social justice report. I need to read it properly but it seems to have annoyed the right people. appgcw.org/resources/in...

Eid Mubarak!

We're holding our first AGM since 2019 on 17/4/2025 at 7pm. It's an online meeting & starts with guest speaker @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social. If you're an #LCCG member & on our email list, you will have received a notice about this. If you're not & would like to join, please email [email protected]

We’ve a @graffwerk plan for a new venue for ‘Open Streets - Art Jam’ ! Can you guess where !? @activetravelcaf.bsky.social @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org @joeearley.bsky.social @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social @hiddenhistoriesjim.bsky.social @timmorton2.bsky.social @urbancyclinginstitute.org

Great thread @rideleicester.bsky.social @leicestercyclingcg.bsky.social @leicsactivetravel.bsky.social @hardhatalex.bsky.social @rideleicester.bsky.social @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social

Our own @hardhatalex.bsky.social will be speaking on Active Travel in Towns and the Countryside.

Great to see this hosted in Leicester - Active Travel promotions are a cross-party issue - Hopefully other representative organisations will do the same !?

Our friends at @for-birmingham.bsky.social have written to their Mayor. It's a good and thought provoking read. @rideleicester.bsky.social @walkridegm.org.uk @londoncycling.bsky.social

Although heavily constrained, the incoming commissioners *could* be pivotal in transforming the mayoral approach to addressing road safety and enabling walking/wheeling/cycling trips.
