Much trumpeting of the figures. Although Serious Injuries appear to be down, no dent's been made on no's killed. VZSW are still putting out claptrap on how to be safe when #cycling & not addessing systemic issues such as key junctions & 20mph. visionzerosouthwest.co.uk/vulnerable-r... #roadsafety

In a detail which will surprise no one, the first of the "patriots" to plead guilty to offences connected to the rioting in Southampton on Tuesday night has a criminal record as long as your arm, including.... possessing a knife.

The fossil fools will hate this

It was tastetastic!

Keep walking Bristol!

"..Compared with 1961–1990, the number of days 5C above average has doubled, while days 10C above average have quadrupled. Or as Dr Berthou expresses it: "Extreme temperatures are increasing faster than average temperatures.""

Ridiculously pleased to find these growing in the wild bit of our lawn this morning

Also a lot of those car lanes were never intended only for cars - some predate cars even - but they are considered car lanes because cars dominate them.

"If you make this elderflower sorbet the world will instantly become a better place and you'll be suffused with joy". Seems with a try! I'm probably a sucker but I've just bought a second hand ice cream maker to try this out. I'll let you know how it goes.

If Labour had promised to spend £2.5 billion on public and active transport - which would disproportionately support poor and disabled people, and would be a long term investment rather than a short term sop - everyone would be demanding to know where the £2.5 billion is going to come from.

Why not pop this in your diary and ask a friend or colleague along?

A Summer Sunday Social June 7th - find us from 2pm at the Turf or 1.30pm at Piazza Terracina for a companionable cycle down (not a 'led' ride as such). As always, bring a friend or make one there. Why not share what you think needs fixing and we can chew over ways to get change? fb.me/e/8G9zc9C9m

Sitting on a train next a 26yr old, taking their first train ever (!!!), because fuel for her car is so expensive. #climatecrisis #publictransport

Cyclists get mad that drivers are killing and injuring people and are treated as hysterical meanies Drivers throw a fit over losing 4 parking spots and are treated as people with serious concerns over how our streets should be designed

Irish artist, Katie Holten created a Tree Alphabet #womensart

There's a lot of "Desmond Morris" going on there.

Sarah is a fippin hero in my book. One day Exeter should have a plaque or statue to honour her. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Pavement parking is dangerous to wheelchair users, visually impaired people and parents walking their children to school. Write to your MP telling them to vote on a crucial Gvt amendment to reclaim pavements for pedestrians. @livingstreets.bsky.social‬ act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/189938/...

If you haven't heard of AMOC it's long past time you knew! 😱 #climatecrisis

I think I won #carrysh*tolympics Exeter today. #cycling It always amuses me to see the builders wirh their mahoosive vans queuing up for a roll of tape at Screwfix.

😲

Imagine the poll that asks: "Do you want more renewables, even if that means your bills go down?" (I imagine editors did imagine what those responses would say, and that's why they chose the lie, instead). www.politico.eu/article/poll...

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Interesting chat with #Exeter RD&E NHS staff who #cycle in Most hadn't heard of the plans & were horrified at returning traffic to a strategic cycle route Pls respond asap to Dryden Rd consulation! I recommend Option 1 dcctransportplanning.commonplace.is #activetravel @exetercycling.bsky.social

Have you replied to the Dryden Rd consultation? Act now (we recommend Option 1) We need spaces where people feel safe to cycle without battling through traffic. Safe active independent travel for school children = more time free for busy parents. www.devon.gov.uk/haveyoursay/...

Exeter, once again, we all need to read this 👇 #congestion #pollution #housing #activetravel

'Child-friendly' cities. Is 'friendly' good enough for our children? #SeeYourStreetDifferently #LiveStreetSmart

You may not like hearing this but actually free on-street car parking is objectively a ridiculous idea when you think about it for a second. Imagine if I plonked literally any other bulky item of personal property in front of my house and expected it to not require permission or payment!

🚲 There’s a new crowdfunder to support Kidical Mass rides across the UK, and it’s one of those small things that quietly makes a big difference. 👇 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/km-insurance Image credit: @jamiebellinger.com 1/8

Somehow our streets have become taken over by vehicles. We’ve allowed the needs of motor traffic to dictate the experience of everyone getting around or hanging around on our streets. 🚗 💨 🚚💨 🚦 And children have lost out more than any of us. We can do so much better. 🤸🏽 🤸‍♀️ 🛝🌷 🌳

Really not a hot take: I'm convinced that if we take our faith seriously, we'll be at the front of the line demanding climate action. Glad to be cited alongside long-time IPCC leader Sir John Houghton here, as many UK CoE leaders make that case.

They're are reports of fuel stations in Exeter running dry as drivers panic buy fuel. Meanwhile cyclists....

“Studies show LTNs drop crime. Motor traffic goes down, but footfall goes up. So ‘busy’ isn’t itself a good thing: busy with people rather than cars is”

No. I live in Exeter. Local councillors frit by pro high traffic campaigners.

Can’t help feeling it’s the word ‘patriot’ that should be in inverted commas here, not ‘drunk’, Manchester Evening News. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Cor, these were a bit lovely at the uni today.

There is no solar power crisis. No wind power crisis. No insulation crisis. No heat pump crisis. No e-bike crisis. No electric bus crisis. But there is a #fossilfuel crisis. And a #climatecrisis.

The IEA are threatening us with a good time www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

HAPPY WEEKEND here's a quick one! On why climate deniers flat-out lied about a final report into Spain's blackout, pretending it was released 5 days before actual release + why that's reflective of desperation in an ACTUAL global fossil fuel crisis ketanjoshi.co/2026/03/21/t...

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

Devon County Council currently asking the car addicts whether they would prefer to drive on the strategic cycle network as well as all the other roads

100% this in Exeter UK

Right I know this is shocking, but guess what? The Oxford Congestion Charge is seeing LESS congestion and MORE people taking the bus. Try this one simple trick etc etc. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/more-people-...
