Sad to report that our containers in the Queen’s Park were broken into last night, luckily none of our adapted bikes stolen, just all the tools used for Dr Bike. Main tool kit is Unior. @ChesterfieldBC @ChesterfieldSNT @DesChes @WeAreCyclingUK @TransitionChez

Londoners! Do you live on or near a street with a historic (pre 2015) filter like this one, where motor traffic is restricted? If so please send me the location and a pic if possible. You will be helping to develop a citizen science project for @_wearepossible #carfreecities

Heard about the #RighttoRepair? New UK measures are a start but we need a REAL right to repair. We're NOT done yet! Sign our petition for 💪 rights for community repair groups and DIY-ers ⬇️ lower VAT on repair 📱include mobiles and computers therestartproject.org/petiti…

Petition: Give everyone a real right to repair

The new measures for repair are a good precedent, but not yet the Right to Repair we urgently need in the UK. This petition is for more.
