Six yrs ago I re-learned to ride a bike It's days like this that make me so grateful to all who encouraged me and helped my confidence in those early days With little sleep and a mind whirring on many things, the cycle commute today, in the Spring sunshine, did much to boost my wellbeing #cycling

Active travel saves the NHS at least £54 million a year just in Liverpool alone. Other regions especially the north east need to sit up, take note and ramp up their efforts. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When war pushes up oil prices, freezing fuel duty entrenches dependence, and asks non-drivers to unfairly subsidise drivers. The Dutch used the 70s oil shocks to cut car-dependent short trips and build a more resilient, locally focused transport system. We should learn that lesson.

Its a Seedy Season - missed our event in Telford? Closer to Shrewsbury - head on over - we love to share

‘If you’re a mayor, put your hands in the air!’ Cllr Alex Wagner, LibDem deputy leader of Shropshire Council and Mayor of Shrewsbury, talks candidly about money, potholes, flags, Pride, live music, beer and more in this episode of Hello You the Shropshire podcast open.substack.com/pub/jimallth...

In September 2014, we took part in a Shrewsbury Cultural Day and had a terrific time! We even got the Army involved! We’re 50 this year! #becauseyourhistorymatters #50in26 👍😊🕺💃🪗

What does Cycling means to me.. • The feeling of being free to go wherever I want • It has given me freedom • Independence • My bike therapy • Peace of mind • Strength — mentally and physically • Escape from stress • Confidence • Adventure • Time to think and reset

Stanton Bikes, what on earth are you thinking? I'm dismayed to see a Brit brand putting the e-bike category at risk by irresponsibly using & selling highly overpowered kits - filming their use on public roads & down countryside paths at speed. Call it out. www.cyclingelectric.com/news/stanton...

“Shared” paths. 🚶🚲

For anyone who wonders why people don’t use cycle lanes or other infrastructure like shared paths. This one finishes at a field entrance, borrows the drop kerb and puts you joining the carriageway on a blind bend just where everyone speeds up to 40mph+. Safer to be on the carriageway to start with.

Is riding an e bike cheating? No, it's just like doing 20 reps at a low weight instead of 10 at a heavy weight in the gym. You get the exercise anyway. AND you might be more likely to get on the bike in the first place. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2586115...

God moves in mysterious ways, but only by car apparently.

Here’s what I’ve learnt about cycling in a city with an 8 year old. For a start, many kids prefer to cycle than other ways of travelling. It gives them freedom and autonomy. And yes, even in the rain. Recently my daughter was offered a lift when it was hammering … 1/10

In the last 5ish years we've gone from... "If we act now we can keep below 1.5C" To... "It's probably going to be 2C but we can keep below it" And now... "Buckle up and prepare for 3C"

Lastly, Osaka shaped an environment where the sturdy, upright city bike—especially the famed mamachari or "mom's bike"—is universal and ubiquitous. These practical machines include accessories like fenders, baskets and child seats, making biking a more efficient form of walking—not sport, transport.

ParkMyBike (#DCEnetwork) has installed smart bike hangars in cooperation with Falco UK (manufacturer) and Shrewsbury Moves. This initiative from Shrewsbury Town Council aims to improve public space and mobility, with cycling as a key part.

Ah, 1930. The first “invalid carriage” law passed, eugenics on the rise, routine lifelong institutionalisation of Disabled children and any girl or woman who go pregnant outside marriage while poor… We have equality laws not eugenics laws now. It’s time for new mobility aid laws too.

Looking for something to do this half-term? Then come along to one of our inclusive cycle sessions at the Ladywell Centre in Lewisham. Open to Disabled people of all ages and impairments, the sessions take place on Fridays at 10:30am, 11:30am or 12:30pm.

As a pedestrian, would you report a frozen button on a crossing if it favoured you? Surely the drivers who are more inconvenienced by it would pull over and report it? No?

“Witnesses are being asked if they saw any vehicles acting suspiciously” VEHICLES! I don’t believe we will ever take this seriously if we are scared of actually reporting and reading the truth 😢 Imagine a news report of a gun or a knife acting suspiciously. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How would I explain the concept of this to my grandparents generation 🤔

This puts the value of a car parking space at over £75,000 – a sum that makes the £100 per annum permit to occupy it seem not only cheap, but overly subsidised. #PoliticalWill #MobilityIsEquity www.eta.co.uk/news/parking...

If “road tax” pays for the roads, does that mean it should be more expensive to fix all the potholes we are creating? - a concerned motorist 🚗🚛🚚🚙🛣️

"Man of the people" Nige here showing that he's the kind of person that believes charity begins at home. Specifically his home.

I drove through streets that I normally cycle this evening and locked the central locking on the doors. What’s the psychology behind that? 🤔
