🧵1/2. Those in charge of vehicles that can cause the greatest harm bear the greatest responsibility to take care & reduce the danger they pose to others. This film by Co-Pilot brilliantly explains the hierarchy of responsibility on our roads—a crucial concept in the Highway Code.

Four months until Paris-Roubaix (we’ll use just any excuse to post a picture of those cobbles) 😁

#Bristol, you beauty!

Have heard a few folks say they actually first found us through Bluesky, I think this place has got the juice guys

Outdoor cycling. It's been a while, very autumnal. #cycling #bristol
