Hear it from Charlotte who leads the Camden Bike Bus. Her testimony of starting a #BikeBus in her community is inspiring !! Learn more about the growing Bike Bus movement at BikeBusWorld.org

Remember, don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth

Thank goodness Starmer is finally supporting all those Range Rover drivers by keeping their costs low www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If we cared about poorer people we'd give them money to meet their needs, not subsidise one very specific, very harmful, activity

It seems a bit ridiculous to have to field parking complaints when more people are being killed or seriously injured as pedestrians or cyclists www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

We welcome any information that can help us on the Environmental Audit Committee to do that job.

I'm a member of the Environmental Audit Committee. Right now, one thing we're examining is the role the Treasury and their thinking plays in shaping the UK’s response to climate change & sustainability - and we’re accepting submissions👇 🧵…

The time to act is now: UK ‘built for climate that no longer exists’ and needs urgent changes to survive global heating, report warns www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Went for a lovely walk in the Cotswolds yesterday, this piece hits the nail on the head- I had hoped to buy a pint of milk in the village but no shops. Returned to inner city Bristol and multiple shops within 10 minutes of my house. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

So much about this has me screaming into my motonormativity cushion. Why further subsidise all the wealthy people who drive? Why NOT subsidise the poorer people who don't drive?

Everywhere I am told that AI is the future and that I should use it more. I find it quite difficult to reconcile though: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Remember, not density OR trees. Density AND trees. Better cities are climate action. #UrbanTruth

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

Here is a graph of the daily temperature anomalies above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline over the last 20 years using Copernicus data. As you can clearly see, the trendline shows the planet passing 1.5°C within a year. Get on the boat, people!

My legs were glad to #getoutside for a #run this morning, but can’t say the same for my sinuses. Hayfever unpleasant, as well as seeing #flytipping on the path. Makes #greenspace less enjoyable.

Declare climate crisis a global public health emergency, experts tell WHO www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Starmer just described his government as an "activist Labour party" 🤔 #KingsSpeech

Legislation to enable local leaders to prohibit pavement parking in England has been included in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. Some of our supporters have been telling us what new freedoms this will bring them.

My neighbourhood is blighted by #pavementparking and #flytipping, making walking unpleasant and inaccessible for some. Not affecting the carriageway, just the kids, parents, etc walking and wheeling.

Avant / Après Rue de Cherbourg dans le 15ème arrondissement de Paris. Un moyen de "supprimer" une voie pour les voitures, c'est de mettre un parking vélo au milieu sur la chaussée dans l'entrée de la rue, de façon à ce qu'il n'y ait plus la place pour passer derrière en voiture.

Soccer streets! Mamdani carrying on the great tradition of New York’s block play streets - (I hope other play is also possible ⚽️🛼🛴🤸‍♀️)

But what do you do on rainy days? ....enjoy the quieter trail, smell the rainy air, think my thoughts and move my body before starting my workday...... #bikedc #cargobike #bunchfam

This has become an expected experience for children walking to school in Birmingham, which leads more parents to want to drive their kids and also pavement park, and quickens the downward spiral that makes our city more unequal and more unpleasant. Time to eliminate this symbol of urban decline.

Odd* that I did not see any signs to urge the drivers of cars and farm vehicles to exercise caution, because they share this road with people cycling on a designated cycle route. *#Motonormative

NEW POSTER: The Road Lobby loves when it’s hard for us to walk or bike to school, work, to get a coffee or some milk. Their profit depends on it. On everything far away, on car dependency, on convenience and choice being illegal. #UrbanTruth #1HourCityConspiracy

And now, a cyclist killed on this stretch of road, two drivers arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. Five years ago, the council planned - and had funding for - a safe cycle path along this road. They dragged their feet, the Tories riled up opposition, and the council gave up. I'm so angry.

The BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.

Please consider signing this petition to the UK Government: • Delays in toxicology results mean suspects can continue driving • Gap between arrest and prosecution enables repeat offending • Repeat offenders released despite clear risk • Legislation should reflect modern enforcement capabilities

„Eine große Rolle bei den Unfällen spiele aber auch die Radinfrastruktur. "Wir brauchen sichere, ausgebaute Radwege, auf denen sich gut fahren lässt." 👍 Unterdessen schleift die Berliner Regierungskoalition das Mobilitätsgesetz und stoppt den Bau sicherer Radwege. 😤 www.inforadio.de/rubriken/int...

Oh, thank god at least someone is benefiting from an actual war pushing oil prices through the roof. Wouldn’t want all that human and economic damage to go completely to waste.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Excellent start to the weekend with a #run in #greenspace #bluespace. Grateful for easy access from central #Bristol and the path is more accessible with a few bollards removed. #getoutside

Not one, but two red damselflies in my garden this afternoon. #natureinthecity #getoutside
