Just walked home from town. Bonkers. Took ages. I normally cycle. How is cycling not the most important part of making Britain great again. The past can also be the future!

How can you possibly justify letting this person drive ever again? How? Road danger is the single most common reason sited for not traveling by bike at a time when we desperately need people to do just that The consequences of road crime are so great, it is a national emergency

Wow, the @tinyrebelbrewco cycling gear makes the @deyabrewery stash look like the designer had a crash with no helmet. Seriously good looking kit.

And so the countdown begins. Next month I'll be taking on LEJOG, a cycle ride from Lands End to John O'Groats, via these 6 wonderful charities, in just 7 days with the @TeamMag7 boys. That's well over 200km a day, an effort even for me! sponsorme.co.uk/richmaskell-โ€ฆ

I'll ask again @GlosRoads @GlosCC, how many vehicles illegally parked in the mandatory cycle lane on London Rd Gloucester have you ticketed or towed? Not one with a ticket (there never is). What's the point in the "towing in operation" signage if you don't do it? Enforce it!

A little reminder of why we are doing this and who itโ€™s for ๐Ÿ‘‡

Today's announcement from @10DowningStreet is a great start, but for us to really succeed we need to hear more from people saying yes to better health, cleaner air and safer streets - and less from the NIMBYs standing in the way. Be a YIMBY and #ChooseCycling ๐Ÿ‘

Serious question.๐Ÿง Anyone planning a COVID-19 party, like you do for your kids with chickenpox? I'm healthy and low risk, just thinking it might be handy to get the infection out of the way in these early days, then I won't be a carrier later on when working with the vulnerable.

So often we see or share videos of awful driving around cyclists, so this textbook pass from an exceptionally patient & careful HGV driver for D&W Agri coming into Jedburgh deserves sharing, as does Rhoda's response! They're not on Twitter but we've thanked the haulier directly.

Could you be a cycle instructor training youngsters to be safe road users? Trainers are paid and need to be good communicators; confident cyclists; free to work during school hours. Contact bikeability@gloucestershire.gov.uk Pls RT. #glosjobs #Bikeability #Gloucestershire

.@Strava, you might think you're a social network, you're not. You're a mobile app and a community. Don't be what people are escaping from!
