17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of: • early death • hospitalisation for any reason • cardiovascular disease • cancer mortality • treatment for mental health problems. Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are *really* annoying.

I think he's confusing nature and landscape. There's plenty of land we could build on with no more nature than you would find in a suburban back garden. There are lots of arguments for not building unaffordable car-dependent sprawl, but nature?!! www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Gutted to read this. Just when we finally had a Transport Secretary who 'got it'. If my bag was nicked I'd struggle to provide an accurate list of its contents... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Yay, the train operating companies have started to arrive on Bluesky. But i bet the last ones to make it here are also the ones with the most delays and cancellations, who you most need to get in touch with. I don't want to have to keep an Ex account just for contacting Avanti West Coast.

Police seem fairly relaxed about this tactic. Anyone want to lend @just-stopoil.bsky.social some tractors?

⚠️Labour's transport funding reality check ⚠️ 🚗Amount missed out on by freezing fuel duty = £3bn. 🚍Much trumpeted £1bn for buses = 1/3 of this. 🎫Cost of retaining £2 bus fare cap in England = 1/10 of this. 🚶‍♀️🚴🦼Amount granted for active travel just 1/30 of this.

Cars in the U.K are up to 55% larger today than they were in the 1970s and there are twice the number of cars on the U.K's roads as there were 30 years ago, but the media are still running articles claiming that a handful of cycle lanes and LTNs 'cause congestion' in London...🙄
