Today is #WorldCarFreeDay The Liberal Democrat principle that no one should be held back by poverty, poor health, or discrimination must extend to transport poverty and car dependence.

Motion F38 passed - importantly recognises the need to close the “off road” loophole and the need for action on the delivery platforms, both as recommended in the @appgcw.bsky.social report on e-bikes

Today at #LibDemConference, we have motion F38 about tackling dangerous and illegal e-bikes. Legal e-bikes (sometimes referred to as Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles) have huge potential for #TransportDecarbonisation so it’s vital that the rules are enforced and where necessary tightened.

We are delighted that motion F16 at #LibDemConference passed. This policy recognises that promoting walking, wheeling and cycling is not just transport policy - it's also preventive healthcare, environmental action, and economic common sense. @ollyglover.bsky.social

Not one transport question at last week's GM Mayor's hustings. Nothing on the Bee Network, clean air, walking or cycling - despite transport being one of the biggest parts of the job. This is your chance to change that 🧵

I spoke to ITV about the experience that so many share of having their bike stolen in Oxford. We need the police and city council to come together for proper action on safe cycle storage provision, CCTV coverage, and to ensure crimes are followed up and solved more consistently.

Last night (3rd July) between 10.50-11.30 my electric cargo bike was stolen. Black Pakyak E+ with a baby carrier. First time I’d taken it to town 🥹 . I parked it on the Plain roundabout near the Cape of Good Hope pub. Secured it with a Diamond grade lock. If you saw anything please let me know.

A person rides a bicycle past a Shell gas station on a sunny day. The price display shows the cost of regular unleaded fuel. Nearby, another individual walks along the sidewalk. Large trees and a building partially obscure the background. The setting appears urban.

Have you seen the @appgcw.bsky.social report on e-bikes? In a nutshell they’ve got huge promise for transport #decarbonisation (especially given many car journeys remain single occupant and <3 miles) but lack of enforcement of existing rules jeopardises that. @libdemcycling.org.uk

Either you're happy for people to be killed and injured to save you a couple of minutes on your journey, or you're not. The evidence that LTNs and 20mph zones save lives is overwhelming.

LTNs cut road casualties in half, campaigners say

60% of women limit how much they cycle due to safety concerns.🚲 Too often women must choose between busy roads with little protection or quieter routes with poor lighting. Both are unsafe. I’m calling on the Government to build the infrastructure needed to make women feel safe on our roads.

So much of our infrastructure, planning, environmental, and road safety measures seem to be based around politicians' fear of slightly inconveniencing easily-angered motorists. Pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users are barely considered in their calculations.

How do you know your city is a healthy habitat for people? A decent place to start is whether children can play freely in their neighbourhoods and get around independently. This is an excellent introduction to Tim’s work and the benefits of shifting away from car centric urban spaces.

As the schools go back, the additional traffic from the school run will be obvious. For a substantial proportion, especially primary, the distance to school is less than a mile so walking, wheeling or cycling would be feasible if it felt safer to do so #SchoolStreets @solveschoolrun.bsky.social
