Useful reminder of @eastsussexcc.bsky.social cycle lanes. LTN 1/20 suggests on A2270 (most congested main road in England), it should be 2m wide. In places it < 1m and when overgrown even worse. See how much space in the middle of road is wasted - by design. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2441680...

Reports of this new tactic from @eastsussexcc.bsky.social of writing back to residents "please let me know if you would like your objection to be revoked" with their consultations ( eg cycling in Terminus Road & Seaside bus lanes).

As the author, I’m immensely proud of this report. But mainly I hope people read it and take notice. This is about the rise in ‘fake e-bikes’, and what’s driving it appgcw.org/resources/in...

It's really depressing to read of such abuse. Sad to say, but cameras feel like a must, and report any and all abuse be it a close pass or verbals from a vehicle occupant www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of the consequences of the traffic lights at Exceat ,Is going uphill to Seaford, there are now gaps and traffic is bunched🚗🏎️🚌🚛. It is now safer -- but when @eastsussexcc.bsky.social build a new bridge it will go back to being the most dangerous section to Brighton

Close passes are much less of a problem on the continent where drivers give plenty of space and slow down. It is car dominant countries (like UK, US and Aus ) where drivers think 1m is enough space. IT IS NOT❗

Important research👇 I was one of those who experienced a moment of hope during early stages of the pandemic that transformative change in transport policy was possible. This paper explains why it didn’t happen and what that means for our ability to make the changes needed to address other crises

This is a good example of @eastbournebc.bsky.social and VisitEastbourne - where for Magnificent Motors - in a large space they decided to put the 🚮bins and toilets 🚽where cycle parking is normally. Same as last year. So now cyclists turn up and have to find somewhere else to park their bikes

It’s crazy that children walking and cycling to school need protecting from adult drivers but it’s the sad reality so it’s good that our Council plans proper enforcement of School Streets. @livingstreets.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social yourvoice.brighton-hove.gov.uk/en-GB/projec...

Cycling should be a symbol of freedom. ✊ But unsafe streets steal that from too many, especially women. Women ride half as much as men, often held back by fear. This is about choice, equality, and safe streets for all. 👉 cyclinguk.org/my-ride-our-right | #MyRideOurRight youtu.be/Aka_F5ClZEM

Perhaps we might live longer and be happier too, if certain national newspapers didn’t whip up hate every time somebody mentions cycle lanes, LTNs, or 15 minute cities. @telegraphnews.bsky.social

No significant change in cycling rates reported in National Travel Survey out today. It's an uphill struggle to get more people on bikes it seems. Good news is that there are more walking miles recorded. #activetravel www.gov.uk/government/s...

The country is walking and wheeling more Today's National Travel Survey shows trips walked or wheeled up 7% in 2024, compared to 2019🧑‍🦽🚶‍♀️ While average distance was up 13% to 230 miles a year 💪 This is progress as we work to make active travel a safe everyday choice for all
