It’s great to see dismantled railway lines reopened as walking, wheeling and cycle tracks. There are hundreds more that could also be converted and create safe paths away from traffic noise and pollution. Often in lovely countryside too.

UK should just legalise escooters. It's nonsensical that you can have use a scooter legally if it's rented, but not if you own it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
We wrote about a little thread about lovely 🦔 a few weeks ago x.com/exeterstreets/… Now a nice 🦔 has written a pretty good, short summary of @DfTstats LTN evidence review in @PrivateEyeNews Basically, they work & councils need to consult. Let's get on with it.

Working with local residents on their design and maintenance, Antwerp is piloting tuinstraten (“garden streets”) in five districts across the city. They improve resiliency (to flooding and heat), liveability and sociability—making these spaces calmer, greener and more beautiful.

New #activelives figures from @Sport_England out today show that, year on year, one million more adults are choosing #activetravel to get from A to B. Our National Commissioner @Chris_Boardman says "It's a win-win for us all." Read the report here: sportengland.org/news-and-inspi… 🚲👩🦽🚶♂️

This is horrifying. Exeter's Active Street Trial has largely removed this danger from one primary school. Now need to do same for all. Hard to believe some want to go back to more SUVs outside primary schools. In our experience, SUVs feature heavily in bus gate violations

So children are not safe on the road, nor pedestrian crossings, nor the pavement, nor *inside their actual school*. Thankfully no children were inside but this could have been a very different story. #SafeStreetsNow liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…

@LeicsCountyBike @AshbyCloudTrail There's so many in Coalville that could link the new housing developments with the town centre. @activetraveleng are these in your scope?
It’s great to see dismantled railway lines reopened as walking, wheeling and cycle tracks. There are hundreds more that could also be converted and create safe paths away from traffic noise and pollution. Often in lovely countryside too.
A new 11 mile (18km) walking and cycling route that traces the line of the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway has now been completed bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
This is great news! ISA won’t stop all people speeding (especially as it can be switched off 🙄) but it should help reduce some and takes away the argument that they didn’t realise they were speeding.
With ISA then it helps drivers avoid speeding. Good to see this. linkedin.com/posts/nicholas…
I feel like Oxon is one of the counties leading the charge on #SafeStreetsNow which deserves credit, but we need to do more, and faster. Where is our Anne Hidalgo?

@Chris_Boardman I wear normal clothes. My bicycle is my main transport. I ride sensibly. I wear a helmet on an MTB track, unfamiliar roads/country lanes. Otherwise I ride defensively and expect drivers don't see me/don't care. Wearing a helmet can make you more of a target.

🧵 1/10 In recent threads, we have looked at the Exeter Active Streets Trial & things like walking/ wheeling, traffic on arterial roads, bikes, traffic on residential streets & disinformation. So, in a change of direction, let's look at.......Hedgehogs
These days I'm like @Chris_Boardman. My bikes mostly make utility trips like to the shops. You don't need specialist clothing for a cycle ride or even special time for a cycle ride. A mile to the shops is still a mile on a bike and it all counts. cyclingweekly.com/news/ive-been-…

If re-elected I’ll invest at least £60 MILLION for new cycle & walking routes A YEAR 📈 That’s a DOUBLING of investment to £20 per head ✅ I am the only candidate in this election with a serious plan for active travel & I will retain the Cycling & Walking Commissioner role 🚲🚶🏻

I’ve got a serious plan for Active Travel👇🏻 ✅ Double annual investment to £20 per head 🚲 Build cycling & walking infrastructure 🚄Use HS2 access roads to create a traffic-free walking & cycling route between Brum, Cov & Solihull 🚊 Start trials for bikes on the metro
