A great video about @QBerryTunnel @nationalhighways.bsky.social have lied about costs to make safe the tunnel and don't support active travel schemes Why aren't @tracybrabinmayorwy.bsky.social @activetraveleng.bsky.social supporting this scheme! youtu.be/_0OFrbMIFsM?...

Why are @teamlabouruk.bsky.social determined to make life harder, by bringing in the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles Bill, it doesn't address the e-scooters or other low powered electric vehciles which could all be addressed in one bill! bills.parliament.uk/bills/4072 @heidialexander.bsky.social

It's cold so rather sit on a bus I thought I would cycle to the rock show! Much quicker by far!

Only in #England do we destroy rather than build wasting money because we might have to manage something! @heidialexander.bsky.social We want people to be more active so stop this waste of money by @nationalhighways.bsky.social reopen @Queensburytunnel www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2yp42p0x9o

Great to see some positive cycling signage in #London rather than telling cyclists to stop cycling!

Good luck to everyone going on the @QburyTunnel protest today Hopefully local and national government will see that by investing in our heritage we can create more beautiful spaces that can be enjoyed by all!

Not sure why @tesco in Pendleton Salford have removed the lovely red bike racks and replaced them with half the amount of cycle racks?

It's time to move towards @bsky.app with @twitter being a breading ground for all the worst things in our society a move to space where we can have somegenuine conversation is needed

Twitter is still fun to discover how ignorant & stupid people are One user thinks every back street should be given the same status as a categorised A road!

Andy @lets-get-cycling.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
A friend of mine told me how good it was to quit Twitter, Yet if all the good people with reasonable arguments & a modicum of intelligence leave it just becomes a place full of ignorance with noone to correct them or argue back

Drivers don't make it easy or safe for other road users and when they park they usually squeeze limited pedestrian space to a minimum Enforce the driving laws & there would be a reduction in those who could drive! www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...

The one change that worked: I loathed all forms of exercise – until I moved to a big city and walked miles
I’d tried running, pilates, swimming and barre, and hated the lot. Then I moved to London and, having no money, I had to start walking to places. Shockingly, I enjoyed it

Everything seems to be easier in #Iceland Like parking in the middle of nowhere to see some steam coming out of a rock Park your car and start putting your vehicle reg in & the parking meter identifies it for you!

In #Akureyri Iceland all the traffic lights have heart shaped stop lights! The cars maybe bigger but they always stop before a pedestrian gets to the crossing! Now that's cool

In #Iceland the spas have electric bike parking & charging points! How great is that?

Now I'm all for more cycle lanes but token gestures which don't connect anyway and actually making cycling more dangerous are a waste of money This is supposedly 2 way & forces cyclists out into a busy road! Coming from @mancitycouncil.bsky.social a former European Capital of Cycling! 😞

It's perfectly acceptable to park on the pavement blocking it for pedestrians, but take a picture you are met with a barrage of abuse
