For decades, we have spent trillions to retrofit our cities, our public spaces and our society around cars. It just didn't work. If only we had an alternative. If only... 🚲 (London by @PeterStuart3)

First ‘off’ of the winter. Hit a pothole, instant front-wheel puncture and in a split second I’m on the deck. The roads really are in a bloody awful state. Bit bruised, but at least the bike is OK.🫤

Nailed it.
“There will never be clothing bright enough to make up for weak leadership” Where’s leadership that says more than one child dying every week, is too many, and that it’s on the ADULTS to put things right? Why are so many schools silent on the issue? Why don’t more parents, care?

Chatted to a lovely gent in the Wolds today (when I eventually caught him up!) out for 30 miles on his e-bike. He was 75 years ‘young’ and so happy to get out for a decent ride in the sunshine. Bravo for the e-bike! #Cycling #Wolds #YorkshireWolds #ebike #KeepActive

Press Officer @KateKampaigns talks to @ThatsTVYork about the long-term decline in cycling in #York. We know the cause; more traffic, no improvements for cycling safety on most routes. Cyclists need safe #RoomToRide We will keep pushing for it. @activetraveleng @CityofYork
.@YorkCycle has reacted to the number of cycle trips made in York falling by nearly one-third since 2014.

This is horrifying @SouthWestWater! Shareholders profiteering at the expense of the environment. This must be stopped via legislation. #TorySewageParty

A grey and wet ride into the Wolds today only compensated by the fact that I almost had it all to myself. So quiet. Got proper soaked, as way too warm for a waterproof - even a gilet. This worrying weather continues. #YorkshireWolds #Cycling #ClimateChange #Yorkshire #Weather

Thoroughly entertaining evening with @nedboulting in York last night. Informative, inspirational and really bloody funny! Thank you and good look on your windy ride to Ilkley.

Another cracking solo ride into the #YorkshireWolds today. Strong winds through the valley roads as usual - Millington Pasture like a wind tunnel! Thanks to the pair of hitters for letting me sit on in the wind as they headed back to Leeds…that is, until I ran out of talent!🥵

Bloody hard work at times on my own riding into the wind today but, as always, the Yorkshire Wolds never lets me down no matter what the weather is doing. #YorkshireWolds #Yorkshire #Cycling #Wolds #BloodyWindy

First autumn evening ride of the year leaving in daylight and getting back home in the dark. A steady ride after Covid though a wonderful sunset and end to the day. #cycling #autumn #Yorkshire #sunset

So he twice used his vehicle as a weapon then further physically assaults the person riding his bike and is only given a suspended sentence! Outrageous. The courts must do so much better.
Jack Rawlins was given a suspended jail sentence for this assault on a cyclist in Bristol.
Hard but enjoyable long ride in the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds. Great for body and mind. That time of year again so blew the dust off the winter workhorse. Reminded again just how comfortable it is. #YorkshireWolds #Cycling #Kinesis #CafeStop

Anyone else feel a growing unease at this time of year at the thought of extended cycling in the dark, especially given recent anti-cycling media? Currently applying 3M reflective tape to rear-facing mudguard parts. May even cover the rear stays! #cycling #ukcyclechat #3M
Anyone know if the forthcoming Tour de France Femmes can be watched or streamed from the UK? #TDFF  #WatchTheFemmes
