Oh to be able to let them muck about on the street outside your house with intermittent supervision...

🥲 What used to be normal is now impossible.

🛻 Cities are designed for cars, not for kids playing erratically by a road.

📱Feels safer to know where they are, even if that's glued to a screen.

🚲 Thanks to everyone who stopped by our Cargo Collective stall at the Jester Festival! We had a great afternoon chatting with local families about cargo bikes and what's helping or stopping them from making the switch

💛 We'll be back on 5 Sept at the York Rise Fair

New research highlights the huge health and economic value of cleaner air as a result of the UK’s planned net zero policies.

In London, this could mean over 9 million working days gained and more than 44,000 avoided premature deaths.

Net zero measures will deliver cleaner air that could provide £7.7 billion boost to UK economy by 2050 - Clean Air Fund
Decarbonisation across transport, buildings, industry and power generation will bring air quality gains and an economic boost to the UK.

🚲☀️ Due to the extreme heat warning, we've taken the decision to cancel this Friday's Cakes & Cargo Bikes event at Swiss Cottage.

Safety comes first. 💛

Join us instead at the Fortune Green Jester Festival on 4 July, 12–2pm, for cargo bikes, chats and (hopefully!) cooler weather.

📚🚶‍♀️🚲 We've contacted every school in NW3 to share resources that help families walk, cycle and scoot to school.

We're grateful to the schools supporting active travel and look forward to working with more schools this year.

Here's to healthier school journeys this autumn! 🌿
