Fun fact from a Christmas cracker - an octopus has not one , or two but three ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

❤️ every moment of this story

Does anyone know how to prevent anything to do with the Big Orange Jobby from polluting my screen ? Or is it just block block block ?

Why not banned for ever ? Lucky no one was killed. At least it was reported correctly and not as a driverless car www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

🎁 Edinburgh’s very own The Phoenix Choir sing ‘Twelve Days of Clickbait’ at Central Hall in Tollcross. Next time a friend or relative complains about the state of (some) local news websites, send them this video. Lyrics in the replies. On the 12th day of clickbait, the headlines screamed at me:

The climate crisis is accelerating - 2025 looks set to become UK’s hottest year on record. Good to see focus on importance of resilience on #r4today- pls take a moment to sign petition calling on Govt to introduce a fully funded national climate adaptation plan petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Oh dear - Coffee costing up to £5 ? Shame on the City for turning its back on the much loved and long-standing cafe operators. What a Christmas present. www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2571844...

The UK's hottest year on record.. so far. Climate change is here, happening and getting worse. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Why is this killer not banned from driving for life ? Why only 4 years in jail and 8 years car driving ban for taking a life while supposedly in control of an off-road bike ? @actionvz.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our estimates off DfT data is London's 1.5 million cycled journeys daily now accounts for well over half of all cycle journeys made in England. That's an amazing end-of-year reflection alongside this ace @peterwalker99.bsky.social piece about what London & LCC included is getting so right...

Oops !

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

Three of the most rebellious things a woman in 1900 could do in one photo: smoke cigarettes, wear bloomers above the knee, and ride a bicycle Ogden's Guinea Gold Cigarettes ca. 1900

Happy EPSTEIN Files Release Day Eve for all those who celebrate!!! 👍

If only we already had a planet green with life. Wouldn't that be something!

Got yelled at this week for making statements that will supposedly alienate the average white male voter and what I want to emphasize is this: appealing to the average white male voter is not my aim and not my job.

When people ride on the sidewalk it's because it feels more appropriate than the alternatives available. Engineering solutions are always more effective than regulatory.

With so much good work to trumpet @citywestminster.bsky.social was commended by @londoncycling.bsky.social and our own @marksmithies.bsky.social won an award 🎉🥳🙌... We EVEN spotted this CYCLING ELF doing a victory lap in the city! Feels like Christmas has come early - bring on 2026!!!

Well, that's the end of the working year for us and we just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We're back on Monday 5th January.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

LTNs: what the latest evidence tells us: that people living in LTNs reduced the distance they drove by around 6% more than those living outside them. Quieter streets make local journeys feel safer and more appealing on foot or by bike. findingspress.org/article/7547...

Christ, how is everyone involved in this including johnson and gove, not in jail for this yet? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Fixed it...🤭

Cycling Research Board Annual Meeting 2026 and call for abstracts on the theme of "Place, People, Politics: The Reimagination of Space". A multidisciplinary dialogue about cycling as a probe, a tool, and a catalyst for reimagining cities. Learn more about the conference: cyclingresearchboard.com

This Christmas millions of children will get presents they can wheel, scoot or ride to school and around their community. It is an inescapable fact that 30mph motor speeds on community roads will kill and maim some of them. UK Gov should give children the gift they need - a national default 20

...Research undertaken here in the UK found that 'paint-only' cycle lanes are actually worse (less safe) than nothing, and that to be better than nothing, a cycle lane needs wands or a kerb/curb. road.cc/content/news...

Big thanks to the TfL teams, working with in partnership with @maxsullivan.bsky.social and team @CityWestminster, to deliver this important new crossing on Cycleway 51 St John’s Wood Road & Hamilton Terrace.

ICYMI: At the start of the week we launched our email action on the future of Oxford Street, responding to the latest consultation that almost completely ignores cycling... ✍️ Take the action today to send an email to TfL and Westminster Council, to call for safe cycle routes: bit.ly/497okcZ

Well this was lovely from @londoncycling.bsky.social at the #LCC2025 awards last night. It really does mean a great deal for me in the push for more travel options in my home city and beyond; and for 2026, I've already got some blog posts forming! 1/2

Big cheers for Camden Council! 🏆 Winner of the London Cycling Campaign Awards 2025 for Active & Inclusive Travel 🙌 Bold schemes, everyday cycling, and streets that work for everyone. Proof that when councils commit, communities thrive. 💚🚴‍♀️ #Cycling #ActiveTravel #InclusiveStreets #LondonCycling

Great recap of an inspiring evening - thanks @londoncycling.bsky.social and especially Jess for such careful organising and hot chocolate making !

🦌16e jour de notre calendrier de l'avent : cette fois, nous demandons au 🎅🏼 des bois (vraiment) cyclables ! De plus en plus de trajets Paris <-> petite couronne se font à vélo. Les bois de Boulogne et de Vincennes sont aussi des lieux de loisirs où les parisiens aiment se promener. ❤️🎁❤️

A mini-story to cheer you up this morning. The other day my teenage son returned to his locked bike to find the back wheel nicked. We went back yesterday to rescue it - and found this note taped to the frame. We have the wheel again. A very happy Xmas to Ollie and his note-writing other half.

"Every sector of the industry has told us, and our wider research has firmly agreed, that overly car-dominated places tend to be less attractive or popular.” - Building Better, Building Beautiful Commission... in 2019!

Four days ago I started locking my new e-bike up outside so I could easily use it for errands, and this morning it was stolen. Guess I'm back to walking to the gym. Lock was the Hiplok Gold wearable chain lock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzPc...

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

LTNs and safer streets. Evaluations in places such as Waltham Forest and Oxford show similar results on safer streets, with some neighbourhoods seeing injury numbers fall by close to half once through-traffic was removed from residential streets. cohsat.org.uk/low-traffic-...

UK councils have no spare cash for contingencies such as this. The same happened with the flyover in Gateshead. The council doesn't have the money to demolish it. The Scottish govt will have to give them the money. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
