And that, my friends, is the joy of riding of a bike 😀 Ace session documenting @cyclinguk.bsky.social Play Together on Pedals project in North Lanarkshire that helps preschool and early primary-aged children – and the adults around them – to enjoy cycling.

This a wonderful read. It touches on something I've noticed, which is how walking or biking makes me feel more connected to my community, because I am seeing people and noticing things I never would in a car. In a car you are isolated, quite literally walled off from the world around you.

At a big active travel conference in York, Chris Whitty is explaining how amazing physical activity is for health, and how it needs to be built into everyday life. Those who benefit most are those who currently do nothing, followed by those who do little, he says.

Meanwhile beauty. I love how everything, no matter how small or ethereal casts a shadow, the shadow of a flower is just as shadowy as the shadow of a gun, and if you love light then you should love shadows.
Small bouquets of white flowers on a white table, casting early morning long shadows, the stamens of the lily perfectly delineated.

An important principle here… Anger and ‘away from’ energy is helpful, it mobilises us but, ultimately, we need a positive guiding image and the ‘towards’ energy it creates. #Reflection #Hope

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
