The strategic road network is managed by a charity and relies on the goodwill of land owners for access. Some motorways will be muddy and flooded each winter. Also The strategic road network stops randomly at council boundaries and investment is where councils are willing. (UK edition).

If you know that cycling can be better and have the professional skills to work with others to bring these dreams to reality, then a job as Camcycle's Infrastructure Campaigner is the perfect role for you! Download a full job pack at camcycle.org.uk/workwithus Applications close on 12 January.

Motonormativity is a term that should be discussed more in the transportation community @ianwalker.bsky.social @drtaragoddard.com Thanks to @streetsforall.org for this youtu.be/dVwsCFCgT_o?...

Louder for those at the back.

When your city's priorities are garbage

Not again, New Mills! 🎄🚲 (Fond memories of the Christmas I got verbally abused by former local cllr on Twitter for daring to suggest putting pointless metal barriers around the only cycle stands when local businesses need supporting is A Bit Bloody Stupid. These are unfixed and can be moved, but…🤷‍♂️)

There's a top-class trolling opportunity here: "In the absence of people driving over Hammersmith Bridge it's not clear there's any demand for a car route"

Did anyone spot the Christmas tree in a Stevenage underpass recently? Find out why it was there 👉 www.cyclinguk.org/group/post/i... We have written once more to Hill and councillors - at both SBC and HCC. We have just one request: "Please could everyone work together for a solution?"

Can you share please cycling peeps, I really don't want to have to resort to Gumtree

We had a great time discussing people's experiences of cycling in Stevenage this weekend. Our 2nd residents meeting saw people discussing their most recent journeys and reasons why people might not feel comfortable cycling. Register to get involved in future meetings: mailchi.mp/6dc2e4cad649...

Holy moly - Welsh Government have approved side-road zebras! www.gov.wales/written-stat...

Had an idea - since we now have the technology, how about speed cameras now send tickets out for not having tax, MOTs or insurance? With a 14 day right to appeal to allow for computer system lags on new purchases/change of owner records. Let's make it impossible to drive an uninsured, untested car

A 30,019-hectare forest in Santa Cruz, Bolivia may soon be sold to agribusiness giant Bom Futuro, which plans to clear it, documents show. Conservationists warn the area is a key part of the Chiquitano dry forest, linking the Amazon, Gran Chaco & Cerrado.

Doing a PhD with Emily would be super awesome! you should apply.

Wheels for Wellbeing are concerned by reports that the Chancellor is considering putting a maximum price for cycles allowed through the Cycle to Work scheme. We are calling for the scheme to be reformed rather than capped. Read our full statement. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/wheels-for-w...

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.

NO, NO, No @theguardian.com Cyclists do not need lycra to be comfortable. In fact, after over 45 years of cycling the only places i have lycra are my knickers Or in the house on a trainer in the winter STOP it. Cycling is for everyone, in everyday clothes, to get from A to B

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 🙏
