We campaign for Cycling in the Highlands of Scotland 🚲 🏴 highlandcyclecampaign.org
Cycle lanes should be Inclusive, not just for confident riders. Removing the eastgate cycle lane impacts adaptive and less able riders the most. (And if you have to get off and push its not actually cycle infrastructure)

Andy Burnham is about to become PM. What does that mean for active travel? New from Moving Up North: the inside account of how Burnham really operates. Ten years of hustings, hot seats, wins and climbdowns, from people who were in the room. A window into how he'll govern next.

Hopefully footpaths and cycle ways (not just roads) - as well as train improvements- be great to not spend decarbonisation money on spraffing more carbon into the atmosphere….
