This bollard on Kensington High St was adopted by Ellie, aged 5 who wants to be able to cycle to school in safety. She has to adopt a bollard because she hasn't the same access to power that the likes of Lord Rothermere has. #SaveTheLane

I am a wheelchair user, and I am *literally in the advert*. To claim that enabling cycling is anti-disabled (the word you want is ableist) is simply inaccurate; Many disabled people cyclist, many more would like to do so but feel unable or unsafe to do so.

It's official! @WSCCNews allocated £784k immediately to create an environment that is safe for walking&cycling. More to follow if council can implement swift and meaningful reallocation of road space. Details to DfT on Friday. Look forward to seeing plans. westsussex.gov.uk/news/initi…

On this day in 2004, Swindon suffer heartbreak at the Withdean. Sam Parkin sent the tie to extra time, in which Rory Fallon put Town ahead on aggregate. However Brighton equalised with seconds to go and won the penalty shoot out. youtu.be/zPeN0u_LbBA youtu.be/zPeN0u_LbBA

We're exploring the opportunity to make ‘once in a generation’ improvements to transport and public space in Oxford city centre to build on the openings presented by the coronavirus lockdown, and to continue to protect public health. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

We need some of this political will in West Sussex

This is what ‘political will’ looks like in Brussels - a city not known for its promotion of active travel.

#Cycling is a major contributor to shifting mobility from polluting and passive modes of transport to cleaner, emissions free, active modes. At the moment, the number one barrier to increasing cycling and getting more people to cycle is road safety.

My piece for @Independent on why the UK should follow Milan and Paris & embrace the bicycle post-lockdown to keep air pollution levels down. The population & politicians increasingly want change, and we already have a blueprint: GM's Bee Network plan. independent.co.uk/voices/cor…
