Goth hive mind assemble. Do any of you UK based goths know of a gay pride celebration that is specifically aimed at Goths? Thanks in advance 🖤

Guidelines were described as: “fuelling a culture of hostility and suspicion towards abortion and pregnancy loss”. We can see where this is leading…

Anyone experiencing pregnancy loss needs love and support not a police investigation. What is the National Police Chiefs’ Council thinking?

I thought this was going to be about Texas or another US state with punative laws around pregnancy but no, it's happening in the UK under a Labour government.

20 mph on all single carriageway roads in built up areas 30 mph on urban dual carriageways. 20 mph on rural roads that are not wide enough for 2 lanes 40 mph on all other single carriageway roads 60 on dual carriageways and motorways. 3m active travel paths alongside all roads with 40 mph+ limits.

Interesting.

Stevenage Cycling Hub don't just work with children. Read this thread if you are over 18!

Wow what a fascinating (and scary) thread.

1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵

We need these in #Stevenage.

A hot week with 31 children in Stevenage (with Rory) for@hertscww. 2 @Stevcyclingcampaigns.bluesky.social meetings A meeting with SBC officers & a councillor talking about cycling. A route recce for the Midsummer Bike Ride for ALL on the afternoon of 22nd June. Fairlands Cycling Club later.

Thousands of playing fields ‘may be lost’ if Sport England stripped of planning role

An important #Stevenage issue. Thread.

This bus holds as many people as all three lanes of cars (the avg car has just 1.5 ppl in it). In motion, these cars would need 3-5x more lane space because of the 2s rule. 2 buses can hold the equivalent of kilometers of car traffic. This is why surface transit routes should have their own lanes.

A crazy week with 41 children in Hertford (Kat, Judy & Rory) for@hertscww. A quick @Stevcyclingcampaigns.bluesky.social meeting. A lovely day out chasing bluebells with Joy Riders and some ladies from London Cycle Campaign.

We sent questions to all candidates standing in #Stevenage ahead of the @hertscc.bsky.social elections. We received responses from 2 parties but encourage all parties to respond, as they have done in the past, to outline their commitment to #activetravel Read more: www.cyclinguk.org/group/page/h...

Good grief @stevenagecyclinghub.co.uk have been busy😮

Well said Liz Terry, leader of Reading Borough Council. Link: www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/around/...

German study: When one person dies in a road crash, an average of 113 people are directly affected. Among them are eleven relatives, four close friends, 56 acquaintances - and 42 emergency personnel such as paramedics, firefighters and police officers rp-online.de/panorama/deu...

✨🚲 My Ride. Our Right. 🚲✨ Women cycle half as often as men, often held back by poor infrastructure, imagine if every ride felt like the image on the right. Our right. Today we launch #MyRideOurRight because safer cycling for women means safer cycling for all. Join us: cyclinguk.org/myrideourright

If you are 60 or older, and do not ride a bicycle, let me convince you to ride. Whatever your age, grab a bicycle and ride! momentummag.com/like-riding-...

That’s an excellent way of framing it! Trains concentrate populations (which is what cities are all about). Cars disperse them.

It's not cars I have a problem with, it's the vast amount of space given over to their infrastructure. It dominates our landscape. Full reversal needed. Make roads smaller. Make cars smaller. Pedestrianise as much urban space as poss. Cap ownership. Newbuild offroad parking regs.

Busy in the park this weekend a good thread!

46 children in #Baldock really improved their confidence cycling on their local roads. The weather tried hard to put them off! Fairlands Cycling Club practice night was fun, practising communication and testing skills by increasing speed.

Being disabled isn’t some abstract concept. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” their way out of. It’s something that can happen to anyone at any time. Once it happens to you, you will understand how little support exists. Help us & your future self will thank you.

Volunteer Bike Bus Marshalls needed for new Friday am Bike Bus in NW London. No prior experience necessary. Great fun as the kids really enjoy it. Please contact [email protected] for more details. Please re-post.

Sad to hear this. Anything you can do @willnorman.co.uk ?

Attention policy makers: As a business owner in Canada, I could take advantage of pretty good tax breaks if I had a car. But I don’t want a car and choose to live where I don’t need one. That’s better for everyone. But there are no tax breaks connected to my public transit pass. That’s bad policy.

Do you lead or support bike-to-school efforts? Get on the map! #BikeBus

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s. Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Raising rail fares year on year and freezing the fuel duty escalator since 2011 sends entirely the wrong message to the electorate of this country. Rail fares rise by 4.6% in England and Wales www.bbc.com/news/article...

Scumbags in Edinburgh strike again. BIKE THEFT. Share please. Makes this too hot to handle.

How it started: 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine agreed to give up the world's third largest nuclear weapons arsenal in return for guarantees of territorial integrity and safety. Trump is a traitor to the American and Ukrainian people!

Let's do it for the children. These are all great things that would make places nicer to live in

The UN Rights of the Child, article 12 - the right to be heard. Now politicians and leaders must deliver…

This is the freephone number for the National Domestic Abuse Hotline run by Refuge, and it's for women. More details and this for other groups, including for men and LGTBQ+ people here. It took me 13 years. Please don't wait that long. www.nhs.uk/live-well/ge...
