More and more and more of this, please.

Amazing 👇 But shows how inequality in investment and delivery in public health, growth and transport between London & Birmingham is growing exponentially. Londoners shouldn't get less, everywhere else in England should be getting the same delivery and benefits. #PublicHealth #Transport #Birmingham

I am slightly in awe of this photo taken of my grandparents just as they were about to casually ride a tandem on a 500+ mile round trip from their home in Nottingham to Devon, as if that is something you could just do really easily in 1948 on your week off from the factories where you worked.

🚂 I presented a bill for a Rail Passengers' Charter to be created. I highlighted the importance of investing in public transport that is accessible, high-quality and consistent. The Charter will put passengers experience and value for money first, ensuring good intentions become reality.

The question on NYC's congestion pricing has quickly moved from "is it working?" to "why isn't my city doing this?"

#boringparis-cyclingdiary share a lovely #paris urban bike ride . The ambient audio & violin music as good as the videography. I have visited Paris years ago & it looks so so so much better to ride a bike there now. 2 wheeled progress . Hope & inspiration for all cities. ❤️🚲🇫🇷

Come and listen to residents, activists and experts who are experiencing Britain's motor city outside a car. Three episodes out now: 1️⃣ Pavement parking, 2️⃣ How the past shapes the future, and 3️⃣ Vision Zero. New episodes fortnightly. Listen here: betterstreetsforbirmingham....

New car day!! 😉 🏎️🚗🚘🚲♥️ #TheBikeFoundry #Birmingham #BikeIsBest #BrumLovesBikes #Transport #Congestion #BrookesSaddles #SaveTheHighStreet #ReynoldsSteel #ClimateAction #BetterStreetsForBirmingham #Cycling #ActiveTravel #LoveTheCommute

Pedestrians have indeed lost a lot to #UKCarCulture in Birmingham. But there is something we can do about it! @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org meets on the first Monday of every month, 6 PM, @birminghamfoe.bsky.social. All welcome to join us to reclaim the public space of our streets!

"a 46% drop in men's Continental team registrations in one year and a 27% reduction for the women"!! 🤔 #CycleSport #Sport

Really wanted to go to Ipswich away, would be ground number 53. But 12.30 kick off and £38 a ticket is just shit. Theft from @ipswichtown.bsky.social Think the second most successful town football team in the universe can get an empty seat instead. #Rovers #VenkysOut 🔵⚪

Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez has announced a nationwide train ticket costing €60 per month. For those under 26, it will cost €30. The Spain Ticket is intended to encourage environmentally friendly travel.

It’s time we stopped viewing driving bans like this. Cars are a dangerous weapon when used incorrectly. Upon release, he needs to travel to access work he can use other modes. If this case doesn’t warrant a lifetime driving bans, what would?

You might think that a man who drove into 100 people, using his car as a weapon, would NEVER be allowed to drive again. It turns out he will be able to, around three years after leaving prison by taking an extended retest. Why should he ever be able to get behind the wheel again?

Five years of inaction. Now what? 🤷 Living Streets' @tansbraun.bsky.social joined @adamtranter.bsky.social on @podstreetsahead.bsky.social to talk pavement parking https://www.linkedin.com/posts/adamtranter_pavement-parking-an-unhappy-fifth-birthday-activity-7400632118323863552-SYUU

Cycling and walking could help deliver almost everything Brits say they want to achieve in 2026 — if we design streets to support them. Getting fitter, losing weight, being healthier, saving money; enabling active travel quietly does all of it. With no gym contracts.

This! 👇 In my personal response to the CWIS3 consultation I recommended targets be added for a) a reduction in the total number of car trips per year and b) a reduction in total miles driven per year in England. Walking and cycling won't get easier or safer if we continue to drive more year on year.

Street safety is *not* a shared responsibility. Rather, it's a responsibility borne by those who have the greatest power to make streets safer: Car companies, policymakers, and road designers. Stop shifting blame on those walking, biking, and driving. www.kqed.org/news/1206717...

Every time I see someone with a bike on a BART escalator, it makes me smile - especially this rider prepared for rain. Not all policy making is so visible & tangible. Two years after we started allowing bikes on escalators, it’s worked perfectly. I haven’t heard complaints or of any big accidents.

Following today’s sentencing of Paul Doyle, several people have understandably queried why he was not banned from driving for life. It’s a good question, and one I attempted to grapple with in #NothingButTheTruth in the context of repeat driving offenders.

Reasoning worth considering here, but I think this is also a case of the people who make the rules being car owners themselves and not being able to imagine living without one. Which would also explain why the safety and dignity of countless thousands of families without cars count for so little.

Go Egan!! Hopefully she promotes a more pro Active Travel and less pro car stance; seems its needed at most unions.

In their refusal to convert some of the vast swathes of space for car owners into safe mobility lanes, the powers that be in Birmingham are actively preventing people from cycling. I mean, who's going to cycle here when the average short commute is like this....

NEW POD EPISODE! 🚨An unhappy fifth birthday. Five years and four prime ministers since the pavement parking consultation ended, and still no action. What will it take to reclaim pavements? shows.acast.com/streets-ahea...

Comparing this with @a38cycleway.bsky.social shows how much more cycling infra investment is needed in Birmingham. Circa 4 times more people are cycling in Manchester. Andy Burnham with Chris Boardman & Sarah Storey have been ambitious and are delivering, same needed here. @brumgreens.bsky.social

The temperature in central the Netherlands over the past 320 years. Clearly shows that we're already well over 2 degrees of warming here. This year is heading for 11.5°C again. This coming Monday and Tuesday, we'll even have that average, in December...

“Moving to a situation where cars are not considered the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation will take ambition and imagination. But the alternative is a very expensive dependency, which clogs up the UK economy.” theconversation.com/how-the-uks-...

Don't go to The Bike Foundry in Birmingham to take your worn tyres and inner tubes for them to recycle them for 'free' because you will end up buying a beautiful second hand bike!!!🤦‍♂️🤣🚲 #N+1

Depressing. #BoycottEwood #VenkysOut #Rovers Blackburn Rovers abandonment a sorry embarrassment Sheffield Wednesday fans can sympathise with share.google/b4jtkFdO0Rjx...

Giving a peace prize to the man that armed war criminals and a genocide has to be the all time low for 'sport'. #Fifa

Chapel St East now open! 😍🚶‍♀️👨‍🦽‍➡️🛴🚲🚌🚛

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

Since 2011 fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury a whopping £133bn and added to yet more climate emissions. Freezing it yet again is reckless & irresponsible #budget2025

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan to find the money for a one-off cut to energy bills is utterly perverse when the Plan exists precisely to insulate homes & thus keep bills lower in perpetuity- this simply isn’t serious #budget2025

Amazing to be here @expertcitizens.bsky.social #NationalInsightAwards 🙌 Brilliantly kicked off by Surfing Sofas aka Justin Brown #ExpertCitizens

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

'Lord Dubs told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “There is a proper case for children, there is a proper case for family reunion when there are children who are on their own,” and he said that “to use children as a weapon as the home secretary is doing I think is a shabby thing”'

Great British Railways!? 👇

Today’s episode of “there is a better way.” Helsinki went a full year without a car-related fatality. For the 90th million time, we ask-why not here? Why can’t we have the healthy, safe, secure, efficient, civilized goods others have: schools free of mass shootings, safe sidewalks, health care…

More over Troy and Ireland, Amir Al-Ammari is here!! Absolutely scenes in Basra! Think they still have another play off to get through but imagine the happiness and hope given to the nation of Iraq just now! If they do qualify and I was king of the world I'd move the tournament from the US to Iraq!

If you think the Ireland celebrations were big imagine if Iraq finds a winner in the next ten mins against UAE! Just seen a vid of their equaliser and amazing scenes inside the 65k capacity stadium in Basra! Incredible to see a city and people rise out of the ashes of US and UK destruction

Labour MP Olivia Blake tells Shabana Mahmood that her rhetoric about asylum seekers being handed a "golden ticket" is "deeply offensive" and "feeds division" "and will only strengthen Reform not beat them".

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy. Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society. Refugees are welcome.

Every week I get a bit prouder of myself for voting Green at the last election. Even though I was a Labour member at the time! Wish they'd proven me wrong but at every turn Starmer and Labour have ballsed it up. Very hard to achieve TBH. #RefugeesWelcome #AsylumIsNotACrime @greenparty.org.uk

Labour has comprehensively trapped itself by agreeing to play entirely by their opponents’ rules. The game is fixed so the only move that’s ever available is more and worse cruelty, while at the same time no level of cruelty will ever be enough to win. A moral & political death-spiral.

Whoever invented cyclocross has a lot to answer for. Hopefully my son has done his last cross race today (for a good while) and I can sell his bikes! So much faff, time, energy and expense for 40 minutes of sport! and I love all sport! Maybe I'm just allergic to mud.

Is @a38cycleway.bsky.social getting royalties for this clip? 😂 Amazing how the pit area of the old Birmingham Grand Prix motor racing circuit (now Bristol Street Motors car showroom) is featured in a pro cycling edit 😎🚲🔥
