Join us for the first #KidicalMassTonbridge in December! 30th December 11am, meet at the big Christmas tree :) we are cycling for more safer routes in and around tonbridge, especially for the many schools kids in the area to get to school. #kidicalmass
If that Land Rover had been sold in EU27 it would have had Intelligent Speed Assistance limiting the speed to the limit of 20mph. The mandatory fitment of ISA which UK gov campaigned for when in EU was dropped by UK gov for cars sold in UK. This is one of the consequences.
1,200 children are killed/injured within 500 metres of a school *every month* in the UK. Time to ban the motorised school run & prioritise active modes.

@AdsCondron I do agree, we just sold a car, sold my old wedding dress and bought a second hand £5k cargo bike for £2k from eBay. Still expensive. My husband and I both agreed the cost is a huge barrier to getting more people into cycling. Many places in UK is hilly so electric is needed
Enough is enough. That would be pretty much the entire reason I report bad driving and why I'm willing to go to court at considerable disruption to my life. It's why I'm willing to work late to make up that wasted court time when I have to.
@MarkWil56852709@RTWBUG@nick_pope@Kent_cc I work in London full time and others were there such as family and children. Think of all the time saved from heavily congested commuting times if people had a choice to cycle to school/work nursery instead of sat in traffic along the A26. We don’t have the choice at the moment
There’s something about riding my Devote gravel bike that is just really therapeutic. Being off road, immersed in nature. After a week of juggling full time work & a chicken pox child has almost finished me off so off to nature (and get this Mum a big coffee) we go #livcyclinguk
Today is #WorldBicycleDay. 🚲💙
Whether you go by bike, trike or non-standard cycle, cycling has the power to change lives and save the planet.
Next week (5-11 June) is #BikeWeek100 and an opportunity to highlight the amazing benefits that cycling can bring everyone!
This bike has literally been life changing, getting the boys by bike and ditching the car. We all have way more fun too ☺️ just hope #tmbc can invest in safer cycle infrastructure. I’m here for the #A26cycleway
#Activetravel Commissioner @Chris_Boardman visited @wfcouncil to see how a major junction has been transformed, making journeys safer for people walking, wheeling & cycling & boosting access to public transport while maintaining journey times for all road users🚲🚶🦽🌍🚌🚗
