Great to see this hosted in Leicester - Active Travel promotions are a cross-party issue - Hopefully other representative organisations will do the same !?

Although heavily constrained, the incoming commissioners could be pivotal in transforming the mayoral approach to addressing road safety and enabling walking/wheeling/cycling trips.

Brompton’s offer adaptable ride sizes for different needs. They are easy to store, portable using cargo-bikes & popular to loan to new riders who value them ! More fleet managers should consider them … They are also a great company to work with. @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social

“The long-term health benefits didn’t stop there: commuter cycling was also linked to a 24% reduced risk of cardiovascular hospitalizations, a 51% lower risk of dying from cancer, and improved mental health, as measured by fewer prescriptions for anxiety and depression.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social

Thank you to everyone this year who submitted video evidence to police. Drivers make up the majority of submissions, but whether you’re walking, cycling, driving or using public transport, you’re making the roads safer when you make a report. Here are some recent results from the West Midlands 👇

To celebrate the official opening of the UK's second Dutch-style roundabout, I made a small diversion on the way home from work last night and did a couple of laps. Most drivers understood what to do (with the exception of the driver of the white SUV near the beginning). Here's Pt 1

I took this photo nearly 4 years ago to the day. Piccadilly Circus, during the pandemic, with not a soul about at Christmas time. Strange times. I don’t think I’ll ever see Piccadilly Circus like this again in my lifetime, it's all a bit 28 Days Later, but an incredible time to cycle around London

Today is the day of the Dutch Championships Headwind Cycling, where pro riders get beaten by the mailman! It will be a mild edition, with only a 6-7 Bft westerly wind, but the race parcours is chosen such that there is zero protection: the 9 km long Oosterschelde dam! A dam with a history.
