Guangzhou isn’t just building bike lanes. It's building a healthy, liveable city.
With 6,000 km. of greenways, it boasts one of the world's largest cycling networks.
What was once overlooked is now impossible to ignore: a vital link in their modern, multimodal transport system.
We will no longer be active on X. But please do come find us at

Noticed quieter roads this week?
🚸 The school Christmas holidays have a HUGE knock-on effect on traffic.
🚗 In some areas, the #schoolrun has been reported to increase pollution and bus times by 50% compared to holidays.
This has to change.

🚗 Cars - 90% stationary, 30% large SUVs - are dominating London's pavements leaving children unable to see past cars to safely cross their local streets.
📅 We're asking councils for a kerbside strategy by 2027.

Thanks, it is positive but listed as 'Amber' and 'subject to resource availability' so still lots to do to try and move this forward. Please help spread the word about the petition - ipetitions.com/petition/a-ca… – at Lambeth, London

🙃 The children's news show ran a story on SUVs with Solve the School Run and it's honestly one of the best SUV explainers we've seen!

🚸 In many countries families routinely commute on a cargo bike. Here? Cost, storage + safety can be barriers.
😀 And yet cargos are a no-brainer for happier travel! As such, we're pushing councils to prioritise access to one for every family.
