Campaigning for safer space for cycling in Lewes and the surrounding villages

[CycleLewes @CycleLewes]

We are organisers of GU Young People's Cycle Ride today start 1.45/2pm Linklater Pavillon to Iford. We might see @Chris_Boardman riders - we'll take the shared path! A project to change way we do things - incl. safer routes to school https://t.co/vmBmv1NBuk #pedaltoParis

[CycleLewes @CycleLewes]

We've heard that @Chris_Boardman is in Lewes tomorrow Sunday, he'll be talking before the match at 2pm; then he's off to Paris via Newhaven. The Club is inviting cyclists to join him. https://t.co/a1tlizySDt. We'll be there to say hello. @LewesTC @activetraveleng @LewesFC

[CycleLewes @CycleLewes]

Yes brilliant news; it was approved last Wednesday by WDC now we look forward to hearing officially that @LewesDC are behind supporting the feasibility study. Benefits too long to list!

We hope this boost for walking, wheeling & cycling goes ahead because many roads in @wealdendistrict are hostile to #activetravel https://t.co/WAoJ7Sdjc0

@SoutheastCRP @bikeregister @Sustrans @BrightonHoveCC @OfficialBHAFC @_cchange_ @uniofbrighton @SussexUni @CommunityRail @BHAFCFoundation @SouthernRailUK Great events and just as important we've heard that the bike hub will be upgraded to make it more secure! Long overdue but thanks to all for finally making it happen

@BespokeEB @peterwalker99 Thanks for challenging and researching Bespoke

[CycleLewes @CycleLewes]

Looks great. Should we try and get Laura down to East Sussex/Brighton? @CANSEEngland @BespokeEB @Bricycles @TransportActio2

Health gains of low-traffic schemes up to 100 times greater than costs, study finds https://t.co/VKTBtjHJXj

🧊Fuel duty has been frozen for 14 years in a row.

📈Three days ago, rail fares went up by nearly 5%

🚗Private cars get a free ride, while the price of public transport goes up and up.

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

The new report by @IPPR, supported by @wearecyclinguk, shows that spending on walking, wheeling & cycling is one of the most secure investments that a government can make, with twice the value for money than road building. Read the report: https://t.co/MoQx1Z4uKA 📸: @davewalker

An exclusive in The Guardian this morning.

Documents uncovered through our legal challenge show a shift in transport policy in part due to worries about '15 minute cities' based on conspiracy theories

[CycleLewes @CycleLewes]

Not surprising; it's what's needed in many towns and cities; safety is a key issue deterring cycling

[Low Traffic Future @lowtrafficfut]

Number of people cycling along a protected cycle route are four times higher than those commuting by bike on main Glasgow roads

[Will Norman @willnorman]

New academic analysis of 46 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (587 locations) shows:
👍Substantial falls in motor traffic within LTN schemes 👍Little avg change in motor traffic on LTN boundary roads

LTNs can play an important part in reducing traffic💚

Listen now! @lizziedeignan and our very own Alisha Myers talk about the bicycle as a tool to empower women around the world on the @bbcworldservice. https://t.co/mTU4xwt7os

[CycleLewes @CycleLewes]

Is this a first!? Signage that sums up what sadly cyclists can expect here in @EastSussexCC We need safe, quick routes for cyclists please.

[Bespoke Cycle Group @BespokeEB]

Through an FoI request @EastSussexCC confirmed they intend, this financial year, to proceed with their 4 cycle schemes in #Eastbourne. Perhaps using new signage like this

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

Yesterday King Charles gave the first King's Speech of his reign - and the first for 70 years. It sets out government priorities for the next year, and covered such areas as transport. We look at the opportunities it offers sustainable travel. Read more: https://t.co/vRAheZboVe

[CycleLewes @CycleLewes]

Reminders are always helpful and important to help especially in Lewes with very narrow streets/pavements @EastSussexCC @esccroads

[Wheels for Wellbeing @Wheels4Well]

Accessibility at road works is critical for #Disabled people making journeys #Cycling, walking, wheeling or using public transport.
Here's our latest guidance sheet on the legal situation around works access & how to ensure temporary works are accessible:

Good news. Please consider supporting if you can...@TransportActio2

[Transport Action Network @TransportActio2]

A High Court judge has granted us permission to judicially review the Department for Transport’s decision to slash funding for walking, wheeling and cycling by 75%.

Please help us to raise £40k https://t.co/LzlcxombFo
