Kids reclaimed the streets of Oxford in Kidical Mass, a family bike ride, around the city centre earlier today. Our special report and photo gallery 👇 oxfordclarion.uk/kids-claim-t...

We believe in safer, fairer, healthier streets for Torbay. Walking, cycling, wheeling & public transport bring stronger communities. Follow us & be a part of creating a Bay where travel works for everyone.

Union Square Redevelopment We have spoke in objection of this redevelopment on the basis that it was originally billed as a 'car-free' development but even with anticipated huge modal shifts, 40% of journeys will still be undertaken by private vehicle. Torbay Council Officer's did not recommend…

Sadly, when people vote in climate change deniers pseudo science is given power.

If ever you wondered what you would have behaved like in 1930s Germany, what you behave like today will tell you. Choose to oppose Nazis. Choose to oppose hate. There's no middle ground here.

Brixham Regeneration We were extremely concerned to see the 'options' offered to Brixham Town Council in early September 2025. A choice of 3 different multi-storey car parks were offered, all significantly increasing the number of car parking spaces in the Central Car Park Brixham Town Council…

Next week in conjunction with The National Trust we will be running a group bike ride from Paignton Pier to Greenway National Trust Join us on your own bike or try one of our free electric hire bikes! Book via eventbrite. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-green-...

This is amazing!

Walking rates are up, according to today's National Travel Survey data - but the government is failing to meet the target of 55% primary school children walking to school. The problem? Streets are not safe for walking.

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

As someone in his early 40s who NEVER wanted to or expected to be a parent to a human child, I have to admit something that has been on my mind lately... I noticed a lot of my attitude shifted when I started to think about all the Dutch 🇳🇱 cycling moments I could have with her (yes, a girl). 1/

bloor street w yesterday evening☀️ bike lanes are still here, thanks to the advocacy of @cycletoronto.bsky.social and others, winning a charter challenge last month against the provincial government's attempt to remove them. biggest win of the summer. advocacy works! support your local 🚲 orgs!

The evolution of Cycleway 17 in Dulwich Village. Before, temporary scheme and the final version including Sustainable Drainage System & planting and a new space for cafes & local businesses.

What if … ?

Very good Larry Elliott column which eloquently makes two undeniable points: - Freezing fuel duty has been vastly expensive and disproportionately benefits the rich. - We really need to start talking about road pricing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Paignton’s First-Ever Kidical Mass Because the Kids Are All Right (and on Bikes!) Picture it: Paignton seafront alive with colour, the sound of bike bells mingling with music, and bubbles drifting in the summer air. Families riding side-by-side, children pedalling freely, grandparents smiling from…

This is an incredible transformation by the church I got married in 8 years ago. Such a nicer setting! Keep going with the revolution!

“Collisions along roads that have changed from 30mph to 20mph decreased by 19% from 2023-2024, and 100 fewer people a year have been killed or badly hurt in road [collisions], according to Welsh government figures.” “What is an acceptable death toll that justifies getting to work 2 minutes faster?”

Everyone needs access to trees and green space. Not just those who live in the countryside, or who have a car and can drive there. Not just those who can afford to live on leafy avenues with big gardens. Street trees and parks in urban areas are absolutely essential - and will become even more so.

Gah, had somehow forgotten about this & now I'm gutted all over again road.cc/content/news...

Kent County Council staff soon received a threatening letter from Kemkaran, Farage & Zia Yusuf (Reform UK chair), demanding they co-operate with cost-cutting or face disciplinary action. But neither Farage nor Yusuf have any legal status as far as Kent County Council is concerned.

By the end of tonight's Dawlish Grand Prix circuit race, some of the riders were literally in bits ...either that or I chose an inopportune moment to uncover a new camera mode on my cheap Chinese phone

Cyclists: don’t wear head phones, it’s dangerous. Car drivers: here’s a complete meeting setup for your drive. #motonormativity #trafficSafety

First session of my adult electric bike confidence sessions funded by @cyclinguk.bsky.social as part of their #bigbikerevival including bike hire for those who are ‘e-bike curious’! So great to see - e-bikes bring smiles for miles!! #TorbayHour #sustainabletravel #activetravel

Me too! Great podcast! Will share widely as it is accessible to many who haven’t taken the blue pill yet!

I think people have yet to wake up to just how amazing e-bikes are. I commute about 20 miles a day, using about 10 cents of electricity. (Mostly on safe trails.) Every time I ride my brain is ecstatic. I get a workout, but don’t need to shower when I get to work.

'Atrocity not accident': Families of UK pedestrians killed by drivers running red lights speak out #roadsafety #deathbydangerousdriving #speeding #manslaughter

I overheard a couple of guys talking about bikes at lunch and I swore I wasn’t going to say something, but within five minutes, I’d invited them to critical mass.

Great to see. “The outcome of the review is that no further changes were identified, and the 20mph limits introduced on County Roads within Ceredigion in 2023 should remain.”
