We're hearing more and more cases where Disabled people are being denied the right to use safe powered mobility aids for essential mobility in their homes, workplaces, education, healthcare and transport settings. Mobility isn't nice-to-have: it's essential.

Survey asked me if I felt comfortable, safe, connected to community, nature etc whilst standing by the Abbey. Then a truck and car pulled up right next to me, both left their engines running whilst they sat there scrolling. I was honest with my answers. shrewsbury.typeform.com/abbey-foregate

On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

According to the FT, Rachel Reeves wants to cap the cycle to work scheme. This is lunacy, and represents a curb on what is effectively the UK's only active travel incentive.

Wow! Free bikes trial schemes in 3 areas showed a 12x returning investment. Reduced expected cases of disease by 16% and deaths by 6%. What a win. We should be rolling these schemes to all deprived neighbourhoods. road.cc/content/news...

Yet another evidence review argues very strongly that simply providing alternatives to driving doesn't reduce driving This isn't surprising, if only thanks to habit. If I unthinkingly jump in my car for every trip (as many do), new buses won't change that www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Before smartphones, many Londoners would have an A-Z handy to navigate London, first published in 1936. It's good to see Central London, A to Z style, on the panniers of a London Ambulance E-Bike. The bicycle is still the quickest way to get to someone in Central London after all these years

“We’re afraid of walkable distances now?” I was one of the first to go after the liars & conspiracy theorists who targeted the “15 Minute Cities” message. Here’s my interview with Aussie National Radio with @greenj.bsky.social — give it a listen, and think about how we should push back on ALL lies.

New cycle lanes are not for us in 2025, but to provide the next generation an opportunity to make better choices than we have.

New cycle lanes are not for people who currently cycle. They are for people who drive because it’s too dangerous to cycle.

This is the future the liberals want.

Not an urbanist, a 10 year old.

Even with empty loading bays to use, and buses and cars driving up on pavements too, a reminder it’s not bicycles that cause the emergency services to be held up on our roads. On bike you hear the siren sooner, and take action quicker. Imagine the FB outrage if this was caused by bikes? #Shrewsbury

There have been recent examples of reporting that confuses safe and legal e-bikes with illegally modified bikes - with images of electric motorbikes even being captioned misleadingly as "e-bikes". Our recent blog explains the distinctions and the importance of getting the language on e-bikes right.
