www.theguardian.com/money/2026/s... With prices at the pump soaring it's time to try out something new. Bus journeys are capped at £3 with Zone tickets even cheaper. Bicycles are relatively cheap to buy and maintain and give you 'free exercise'. Walking is another option. #beatthefuelcrisis

Such a fun, joyful Kidical Mass - 180 people of all ages and abilities cycling around the streets of Oxford! Fantastic to see so many children riding with their families and enjoying the freedom of cycling together. Cyclox wants to see safe cycling on our roads. Please support us at cyclox.org

When people object to measures to reduce the number of cars on our roads, they are also choosing to have dirty air. We need better public transport, better routes and lanes for bicycles, better pavements and if we have those..... We all need to breathe. Well done London! Keep at it Oxford!

It's too hot and humans driving cars are making it hotter! Not pleasant for anyone, could be a serious health issue for the very young, the elderly or people with underlying health condition. Surely a good reason for traffic filters, congestion charging etc. www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/h...

Better buses are good for everyone - residents can travel into town cheaply and efficiently, where residents switch from car or taxi to bus, the number of vehicles on the roads goes down, this makes it more pleasant and safer for people walking and cycling and there's less congestion for drivers.

This is a boring photo! or is it? The photo shows a decision made by the Council to make a bus lane going North on the Woodstock Road permanent. This makes it safer for people cycling and means buses don't get held up. Cyclox gave their input into the consultation. Vital behind the scenes work!
