NEW: 50+ transport and health groups have written to the Government calling for clear targets in the upcoming Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy 3, as well as a comprehensive plan for a national active travel network, matching the long-term strategic focus given to roads.

The Walk Ride GM Awards return! Grab your seat now for the most anticipated night of the year 🎊

Today we rode to demand safer streets for women cycling in winter. Cycling is joyous but many women feel left out of our movement. It's time that changed.

Pay-per-mile a really effective policy because it encourages drivers to think about each trip they take, rather than driving automatically just because they’ve already paid the fixed costs of owning a car.

They're using Discord to pick the next PM in Nepal but Active Travel people still think it's just an app for gamers 😭

Last year I realised something that has changed my perspective on advocacy At @walkridegm.org.uk we noticed social media wasn’t having a meaningful impact on active travel delivery, so we shifted our focus to more constructive spaces

Cycling around Manchester/Salford is just 100x better than it used to be, even if every so often the route just randomly dumps you on a pavement next to a motorway and goes “yeah this will do”. Their rental bikes are also better than the TfL options... when they work.

Saw a police van using the Deansgate cycle lanes today to skip the traffic in an emergency! V cool

Bus strike mania has hit Manchester This week Oxford Road saw the most cyclists in a single day EVER Nearly 4000 people used the route on Monday

Remember when they said no one would cycle on Deansgate

A MASSIVE campaign win for Walk Ride GM. It was looking likely that a major cycle route in Manchester was going to be lost forever The campaign saw over 150 objections to the planning application - which forced the university to reconsider

We did it! @manmetuni.bsky.social has dropped plans to block Cavendish Street to cyclists A huge thanks to everyone who spoke up with us Join us at All Saints Park on 4th September at 5pm as we celebrate our success together with a toast to the campaign

CHRIS TWELLS RETURNS

Media coverage is fuelling a backlash against e-bikes. But often, the stories aren't even about e-bikes at all. Last week, the BBC reported that an "e-bike" was involved in a serious incident. But it was actually a high-powered electric motorbike. Here's how it got changed...🧵

NEW 🚨 The Government has confirmed to local MP Jeff Smith that they will continue to support high quality cycling infrastructure with floating bus stops.

NEW 🚨 After multiple Snake Pass Trespass rides, our main demand has been met by @derbyshirecc.bsky.social Average speed cameras are coming to Snake Pass A huge victory for our campaign and a safer future for all road cyclists in the Peaks.

Great to see the report I wrote for @bikeabilityuk.bsky.social and @livingstreets.bsky.social having an impact on national policy Our polling found that 81% of people agree there is too much motor traffic around schools - a national consensus!

NEW: 12 of England’s 13 regional mayors* have signed up to develop a “national active travel network”, based initially on safer routes to schools. This includes Labour mayors, and two Tories *and* Reform’s Luke Campbell. Are the transport culture wars over? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Deansgate is great! (If a little ugly 😶‍🌫️) But that's a network approach on a tight budget for you. Seamless cycling from Chorlton to the city centre. No other part of GM has that.

Three months ago the press said it was a senseless shambles, but I cycled along Deansgate today and it's working well. More cyclists, fewer motor vehicles and it feels safer and more inviting for everyone. Well done to the council.

Labour's attack on cyclists has begun A new dawn of anti cycling rage bait is coming from Number 10, led by Morgan McSweeney

Today we celebrated the opening of Deansgate Cycleway by riding the entire length to Chorlton and grabbing a beer. The dream!

On Thursday after work, we're celebrating the opening of Deansgate with a celebration ride. Come along and cycle Deansgate to Chorlton on protected cycle lanes for the first time 🚲

I was confused seeing a woman pushing a pram in the middle of the road - until I turned and saw the pavement was missing a dropped kerb Why should we accept this as a normal part of walking down the street?

Wonderful to see two of the new Deansgate walking and cycling junctions open today

We'll be at @stationsouth.bsky.social Wednesday for a lightening talk on the cycling network in Levenshulme Tickets available: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/station-so...
