FUN FACT
If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas.

It's good to see Birmingham City Council ramping up its adoption of 20mph as the urban/village norm for its roads.
Birmingham 20mph speed limit would be 'life saving'

The Netherlands is not known for his amazing weather. Yet it’s a biker’s paradise. This is because of infrastructure decisions made over the last 50 years, and a culture of biking that followed. It’s as simple as that.

Great progress but sadly London's safe cycle network stops well short of Sunny Havering.
The London Mayor is funding this but the rollout in each borough is controlled locally so we need to keep pushing our local councils for progress.
Help us.

While Europe goes through yet another heatwave, cities are developing plans to fight the heat, yet cycling is often not part of it.
What could London's Heat Ready plan look like if it included cycling?

Zero km in #Havering, and the A12 and A127 which the Mayor controls are poorly served and hard to cross for people walking, wheeling and cycling.
Safe streets in #London is a postcode lottery.

Spot the difference.
We didn't 5x the Cycleways network in London overnight. It took vision, hard work, & the conviction to invest in green infrastructure - often in the face of vocal opposition.
In 2016, we had 90km of Cycleways. Now we're at 450km. That's progress. And we're not stopping there.

Infrastructure creates demand. People don't cycle because a city is naturally "a bike city." They cycle when routes are safe, continuous, connected. Major credit to the Mayor @london.gov.uk, Transport for London, local councils, advocacy who continue to push this vision. Bravo! 👏

It seems that 84% of Britons can't tell whether an e-bike is legal or not and this inevitably leads to problems like the West Midlands police destroying a man's (legal) Tern e-bike.
There is now an initiative called E-Bike Positive which is a 'trust mark for e-bikes.
