This is why we campaign for more/improved cycle infrastructure.

I’m selling my Riese & Muller Cruiser 2 Mixte Vario. It’s a lovely bike, I’m just not using it. Full specs in pics below. It’s 2 years old and done 2600 miles. Just been serviced. Tyneside. Niche so please share! www.facebook.com/share/1AGbtx... If you’re not on FB, can share more via DM.

Great to see BBC coverage for our Glow Ride last night - here and on 3 Counties Radio this morning at 7.15am. Look out for lots more pictures and videos on the way! @cyclinguk.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is delightful. 3 friends clubbed together to rescue and buy the iconic Mercian cycles when the company collapsed. Just because they loved the company and didn't want it to disappear. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Really good to see this House of Commons research briefing on Children, Young People & the Built Environment, by Louise Whitley, following the LUHC inquiry last year. It covers a huge of academic and policy evidence, from all sorts of angles, from the UK and beyond.

Fourteen-year-old Zoe, who lives with cerebral palsy alongside deafness and epilepsy, has found a passion for cycling at Shrewsbury Sports Village, and is now fundraising to buy a specially designed ICE Trike so she can keep active.

Anyone lost a teddy bear? One of our Glow Ride poster bikes has acquired a new friend! #GlowRide #MyRideOurRight

Hmm we need to look at this. @jillborcherds.bsky.social

Storytelling is vital in building support for sustainable mobility. From the Netherlands, to the UK, to the Philippines, strong stories have helped communities embrace cycling infrastructure by showing its human impact. Read the full article: buff.ly/EvLAcs9

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Timeline cleanse

Spot the difference.... The path from Hertford Road under the railway and across the field to Knebworth is now barrier free!

Please dm me if you can help.

One to look at? @stevcyclecampaigns.bsky.social

We are keen to continue working with 9Yards and other stakeholders to make improvements to the Roaring Meg for wheeling and cycling.

They did that “person collided with car and died” thing, but in the ocean. No, the whale didn’t collide with a boat. A person driving a boat hit a whale and killed it.

We have now done a formal submission of comments on the current Roaring Meg Planning Application. There is still time for individuals to make comments and we encourage people to object. Full details of our comment and how to submit your own are on the link: www.cyclinguk.org/group/post/r...

Thus is good news.

Totally agree.

This is what we need to do in Stevenage. Many people have nowhere to store a cycle, so this prevents them from exploring our beautiful cycleways. To be fair, they are tired and need work, but they are still amazing compared to elsewhere.

Proposals in the new planning application for the Roaring Meg retail park would force people cycling to dismount and walk when they leave the Monkswood Way cycleway (a popular entrance/exit). We're encouraging our network to object to this application to show that cycling access must be improved!

160 miles south of the English coast at 21°C is Paris at 41°C. Our Arctic Sea Ice air conditioning system is breaking down. :-( #StopBurningStuff #LeaveItInTheGround

Not only weight based parking charges (and whatever VED morphs into), but also weight based SPEEDING fines please. Doing 23mph in 20 zone in a heavy SUV has more potential to cause serious harm than in a lighter car, so represents more reckless driving behaviour by the driver - hence higher fine.

A fabulous cycleway network is only as good as its weakest links!

What a fantastic ride we had.

Clear demonstration of what we need to improve to get more people cycling.

We still have places left on 28th June in Stevenage.

Thanks to a FOI sent to 43 police forces in England & Wales by IAM RoadSmart, we know that: - Video submissions to the police have doubled since 2021 - 54% resulted in a Notice of Intended Prosecution - 58% of motorists admit they don't know the 1.5m rule. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

This terrible.

This is essentially preventative healthcare they’ve cut here. #TheMiraclePill

More Good News! For at least 3 years, the underpass under the entrance to the lcon building has had no lighting. We have been campaigning to Hill & @hertscc.bsky.social for years. We'll continue to campaign for permanent lights but the temporary fix of motion sensitive LED lights is very welcome 🙏

Good News! After a long absence, there are cycle racks outside the main entrance of big Tesco in town again! There are now 12, more than before. We had explained to the Council that people using the racks needed easy, direct access from the cycleway and convenient parking near the store entrance.

We are missing our Beryl!

20 minute neighbourhoods need good sports facilities

Another Brexit gem

That's so sad.

Remember the Luddite Remember why the Luddite It wasn’t about hating machinery But it was about sharing the wealth But capitalism isn’t about creating a decent society It’s about making me rich at your expense

Who else would turn a double amputation into an opportunity to raise some cash for some excellent charities? If you haven't yet donated, then now's your last chance!

This petition has already been signed by over 13,000 people. That's 13,000 women voicing support for the trans community. All anti-trans rhetoric does is harm. We stand with the #trans community. Click the link to add your name to the petition.

Goth hive mind assemble. Do any of you UK based goths know of a gay pride celebration that is specifically aimed at Goths? Thanks in advance 🖤

Guidelines were described as: “fuelling a culture of hostility and suspicion towards abortion and pregnancy loss”. We can see where this is leading…

Anyone experiencing pregnancy loss needs love and support not a police investigation. What is the National Police Chiefs’ Council thinking?

I thought this was going to be about Texas or another US state with punative laws around pregnancy but no, it's happening in the UK under a Labour government.

20 mph on all single carriageway roads in built up areas 30 mph on urban dual carriageways. 20 mph on rural roads that are not wide enough for 2 lanes 40 mph on all other single carriageway roads 60 on dual carriageways and motorways. 3m active travel paths alongside all roads with 40 mph+ limits.

Interesting.
