While long-term funding is key to the National Cycle Network's success, £104m over four years is £26m a year... the equivalent of upgrading a single A-road junction. CWIS3, the government's four-year strategy mentioned '7,000 additional or improved [NCN] miles by 2030'...so £14,857 per mile?

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Change the way we travel? Then mandate that councils MUST rapidly roll-out safe, connected, direct cycle infrastructure everywhere (+fund them). It takes 15-20 mins by e-bike to travel across town, but direct uses a 40mph road with guaranteed close passes and only a narrow footpath for active travel

I think the worst part of Labour's response to the fascist mobilisation is Andy Burnham's absence. He's the most popular politician in the country, with social media reach and actual powers of persuasion, and he's saying nothing in public. He can actually be of use here but he's choosing not to

Bill Bryson on the RNLI in "The Road to Little Dribbling : more notes from a small island" (2015)
I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy
who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.

On Tallinn's Kalamaja Street, a conventional traffic sewer has become a hybrid of two familiar Dutch concepts: the woonerf, or curbless living street where pedestrians, cyclists and drivers share the same space, and the fietsstraat, where bicycles are given priority and cars are effectively guests.🧵

The mental gymnastics you have to perform to find fault with the RNLI... These are volunteers, putting their lives at risk to stop people dying at sea. They're from communities where that used to be a common and earth-shaking occurrence, regardless of who the victim was.

Hundreds of protesters, dressed in black and wearing face coverings, blocked roads in the Port of Dover and chanted "stop the boats" on 6 September 2026. There were no arrests.

When the Paris Agreement goals was negotiated in 2016, targets were set based on what was feasible at the time. A stark takeaway from today's UNEP 'overshoot' report is that we fucked it up. We didn't do the things we needed to do. We wasted a decade and the consequences are coming.

Am I an outlier in that most people don't understand just how ubiquitous cycling infrastructure is in the Netherlands vs other nations and how powerful that infrastructure is? Yes, it is flat. I have a flat 30mph road near me but it is a rutted, cluttered hellscape compared to the same in NL.

Unprotected bus stops lead to dangerous crush movements, even if everyone is careful & follows the rules. This leads to people cycling aggressively (jumping reds) or cycling on the pavement. Well designed floating bus stops make near misses & crashes between buses and cyclists almost impossible.
