Cycling should be a symbol of freedom. ✊ But unsafe streets steal that from too many, especially women. Women ride half as much as men, often held back by fear. This is about choice, equality, and safe streets for all. 👉 cyclinguk.org/my-ride-our-right | #MyRideOurRight youtu.be/Aka_F5ClZEM

Transport can seem like a nice-to-have, a niche area of politics and government, but in fact it fundamentally shapes our lives. If your only option is to drive, if your health is harmed by air and noise pollution, if you can't use the pavements or there aren't any... these are real daily concerns

Give your views on the Spending Review! Deadline is 9th Feb. It is a great opportunity to tell the Treasury to prioritise spending on public transport and active travel, and not expensive new roads. If you feel a specific scheme(s) should or should not be funded, include them in your response. 🧵

The UK has pretty comprehensive stats on who dies in road incidents. Car occupants are the group with the largest number of deaths, but when adjusting for miles travelled, it's a very different story. www.gov.uk/government/s...

This evening I deposited 4 children in a field in the middle of nowhere for an all-section camp with Scouts. We just about fitted everything in the CoWheels club car. Easy to hire for a couple of hours on the app, no need to own a car. I’ll be off out there tomorrow for the day, on bike and train.

How beautiful is this ‘henge’ - #MaumburyRings in Dorchester - built 4500 years ago. There was once a large #standingstone at the north entrance (pov). The circle was used as a Roman amphitheatre but I can imagine it as a venue for local gatherings across the centuries. 12/04/24 #hillfortWednesday
