We are thrilled to invite you to Ride the Night Liverpool on Wednesday 22 October! 🚲🌃 This ride is part of Cycling UK's 'My ride. My right' campaign, launched to show that when we make cycling safer for women, we make it safer for everyone. Details and book your place: tinyurl.com/ridethenight...

Lovely atmosphere at @lpoolcouncil.bsky.social's Car Free Day event on Earle Road - kids, residents, students enjoying the activities. Next year for #WorldCarfreeDay, it would be great to see this rolled out in neighbourhoods and town centres across all six councils in @lpoolcityregion.bsky.social!

Get your headphones on and go for walk with @walkridegm.org.uk's excellent podcast Moving Up North, to learn more about what effective #ActiveTravel campaigning looks like🚲🚶🏾‍♀️🧑‍🦽 🛴 www.walkridegm.org.uk/2024/11/01/m...

Walk Ride GM was horrified by the recent news of a hate crime against Klaudia Mitura on the Ashton Canal. There is no excuse for violence, including this example of male violence against women. Incidents like this are made more likely by a widespread press and media bias against cyclists. 🧵

'My ride. My right' is a fantastic campaign calling for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark. #InclusiveCycling #CyclingUK #ActiveTravel

Ride leaders needed for women-led 'Ride the Night' in Liverpool on Wednesday 22 October! It's part of Cycling UK's campaign calling for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark. If you would like to help with the ride in any way, please get in touch 🚲

Exacerbated by a social media environment that has turned the push for liveable cities into another culture war, we shouldn't conflate the digital and real worlds. Bikelash might be inevitable, but it's surmountable, if we realise this isn't just the right thing to do, it's the popular thing to do.🔚

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

Such a powerful and sadly necessary campaign from More Than A Cyclist, whose mission is to make cycling safer by putting a human face to people who ride bikes. "If you see someone like Harriet on the road, please give her plenty of space as you pass" #iammorethanacyclist

Fantastic to see unanimous support for @edwardlamb.bsky.social's motion at Wirral Council to champion outdoor play and child-friendly streets 🚲🏃‍♂️⚽🙌 www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/2533632... @wirralglobe.bsky.social

"Challenging car dominance is never simply a technical decision about street layouts or emissions levels. It is a challenge to a deeply embedded status quo" - Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

I’ve listened to this podcast twice, and want to listen again to take notes - so many fascinating insights from @ianwalker.bsky.social and @edwardlamb.bsky.social about the strange psychology of car driving and #motornormativity open.spotify.com/episode/2Yxn... @lowtrafficfuture.bsky.social

So many benefits! Thanks to @urbancyclinginstitute.org 🚲

As progress is being made on the Wirral towards making it safer for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle, so the minority of people who oppose active travel measures have become increasingly angry and vocal. Kudos to Gary from Wallasey, who stepped up & spoke out at a Wirral Council meeting last week👏🚲

Striking logic, from @tomflood.bsky.social

Cheshire East is completing brand new cycling infr at J17 of the M6. It's a sub-standard shared path. Super-duper.

There's a pretty mega looking cycle lane running past the new stadium. Does anyone know if @evertonfc.com have done any work to promote cycling as an effective means of shifting lots of people? What's the cycle storage like at Bromley Moore? Not mentioned at all here, obvs 🤷‍♂️

Pleasantly surprised to turn the corner onto Jamaica Street in #liverpool and find this new bit of infrastructure. Would be better if it was all the way down, but it’s a start. Also already being used by other groups who benefit from active travel infrastructure too.

Last night's BBC #Panorama was the latest in a long road of poor examples of the press 'educating' the public about electric bikes, conflating them with e-motorbikes. This, shops tell me, is driving real economic harm & job losses. My deconstruction here: www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/dec...

Interesting Wirral Active Travel Forum yesterday. Council is definitely moving in the right direction. Especially around the acceptance that previous cyclops roundabouts in Greater Liverpool have very much been "copying the Dutch's homework poorly, without understanding the problem".
