U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
Does anyone have a photo of one of those UK dual carriageways where pedestrians are expected to scurry across? If so, could I possibly get a copy to use for a talk?
The original people carrier.
A picture of a sticker on a wooden surface. The sticker is black with the following text in white: Been waiting long? That's because the council thinks someone in a car, a quarter of a mile away, is more important than you*. They could make the lights change as soon as you press the button if they wanted, but they don't. Complain to them. * A car moving at 30 mph will travel a quarter of a mile in 30 seconds.
Research shows that biking is very, very healthy for people 65+.
Findings after reviewing 28 prior studies:
"Cycling in later life links to improved mobility [and] balance."
"Older cyclists often report psychosocial health, life satisfaction, and well-being improvements."

Why did we have a @cyclinguk.bsky.social Glow Ride in Stevenage? Watch our video and read our infographic to find out: youtu.be/P1z-WeP83S4
Done.
The @cyclinguk.bsky.social #GlowRides were fun but this debate is about the serious reason behind them. Ask your MP to take the issue of women’s safety seriously and go along!

The strategic road network is managed by a charity and relies on the goodwill of land owners for access. Some motorways will be muddy and flooded each winter.
Also
The strategic road network stops randomly at council boundaries and investment is where councils are willing.

When your city's priorities are garbage
Grey metal barriers surround both a small town Christmas tree and two Sheffield cycle stands with high street shops in the background.
Not again, New Mills! 🎄🚲
(Fond memories of the Christmas I got verbally abused by former local cllr on Twitter for daring to suggest putting pointless metal barriers around the only cycle stands when local businesses need supporting is A Bit Bloody Stupid. These are unfixed and can be moved, but…🤷♂️)
There's a top-class trolling opportunity here: "In the absence of people driving over Hammersmith Bridge it's not clear there's any demand for a car route"
A Christmas tree with lights stands between two columns in an otherwise dark underpass
A Christmas tree with lights stands in an underpass without lights, the cycleway and the next underpass (with lights) is visible further away in the background
A black drape with reflective strips hangs from a wall in the underpass. The reflective strips show a person cycling. There are Christmas lights hanging above the image of the person cycling.
Did anyone spot the Christmas tree in a Stevenage underpass recently? Find out why it was there 👉 www.cyclinguk.org/group/post/i... We have written once more to Hill and councillors - at both SBC and HCC. We have just one request: "Please could everyone work together for a solution?"
Can you share please cycling peeps, I really don't want to have to resort to Gumtree

A picture of a meeting room with people looking and pointing at maps on the table while discussing their experience of cycling
We had a great time discussing people's experiences of cycling in Stevenage this weekend. Our 2nd residents meeting saw people discussing their most recent journeys and reasons why people might not feel comfortable cycling. Register to get involved in future meetings: mailchi.mp/6dc2e4cad649...
Holy moly - Welsh Government have approved side-road zebras! www.gov.wales/written-stat...
Had an idea - since we now have the technology, how about speed cameras now send tickets out for not having tax, MOTs or insurance? With a 14 day right to appeal to allow for computer system lags on new purchases/change of owner records.
Let's make it impossible to drive an uninsured, untested car
A 30,019-hectare forest in Santa Cruz, Bolivia may soon be sold to agribusiness giant Bom Futuro, which plans to clear it, documents show.
Conservationists warn the area is a key part of the Chiquitano dry forest, linking the Amazon, Gran Chaco & Cerrado.
Doing a PhD with Emily would be super awesome! you should apply.
I swear by sealskinz lobster mits with silk liners.
It misses many people who would be able to use it as it stands. For eg, many cycle instructors can not use it because they are not PAYE (or, as in my case, subcontracted to an agency). I would want to use it to get an e-bike to extend my commuting range. So £3-4k I guess for decent quality/range.
We are organising our second residents panel meeting! A safe space for residents to discuss their experiences of cycling in our town. Join us to share your experience and help us shape cycling advocacy in Stevenage!
🗓️ Sat December 6, 10-12

A black woman on a red upright tricycle cycling in a cycle lane. The cycle has a basket in which is a blue bag. She is wearing a black helmet, yellow long-sleeved top and a purple high vis jacket. Behind her is a red bus, yellow and green ambulance and a green van. In the far background are houses.
Wheels for Wellbeing are concerned by reports that the Chancellor is considering putting a maximum price for cycles allowed through the Cycle to Work scheme.
We are calling for the scheme to be reformed rather than capped.

This is why we campaign for more/improved cycle infrastructure.
