Following 1977's first cycle route, 2021's Cycle Orbital network is uniquely rail-interchange based: 800+ miles of quiet cycling out from TfL Zone 6 boundary stations. #carfree #activetravelsummit2021

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow, or fridge, and then ask me where you're going to put them."
~@Lorespontevedra, Mayor of #Pontevedra, Spain🇪🇸.

Net-zero targets are all well and good.

But how countries get there matters a lot. It's the area under the curve that matters for warming.

Delay emissions cuts and you not only make net-zero less likely, you also make climate change worse along the way.

An EQ promo video! Enjoy, and please feedback. The edit was signed off with hours to spare: autumn equinox is tomorrow Saturday 23rd at 06.50 GMT/UST. https://t.co/vQHx6SDz2G

@BrentToderian @thediscourse A fine illustration of the need for Pigouvian taxes, named after 1920 British economist Arthur C. Pigou: a tax on a market transaction that creates a negative externality, or an additional cost, borne by individuals not directly involved in the transaction.

I've signed this open letter because I support clean air for all Londoners. Everyone deserves to enjoy clean, fresh air - no matter how much you earn or where you live.

Ride to Rail! I love riding to the station because: It is efficient ✅ healthy ✅ fun ✅ better than being in a traffic jam ✅ and makes the case for cycle lanes. Ride to rail to win @lime prizes for #bettertransportweek #betterlocaltransport #ridetorail https://t.co/gddPUXuzwD

I just signed the petition calling on Boris Johnson's resignation honours to be blocked. Will you sign too? https://t.co/ySuWYqJqKH via @38degrees

Are you paying attention yet?

The North Atlantic SST anomaly on June 8 was 1.04°C above the 1982-2023 mean.

For those keeping track, that's 3.56σ, or 1-in-5400.

Great to see @Sustrans' position on barriers blocking cycle/walk/wheel paths. Barriers preventing access by #Disabled people are discriminatory & unjustified under #EqualityAct (relevant bits apply to everyone, not just councils). #BashTheBarriers

Excellent profile of economist (and - disclaimer - my partner) @KateRaworth and the rise of Doughnut Economics https://t.co/8kwd9VYCMb @DoughnutEcon @gdnlongread

It shouldn’t be controversial. It shouldn’t need courage. It just shouldn’t.

I just signed the petition calling for @RishiSunak to sack @SuellaBraverman if she's found to have broken the ministerial code when trying to arrange a private speed awareness course. Will you join me? https://t.co/n5iIgPTzPB via @38degrees

Shameful. ⁦@BBCSingers⁩ is one of the leading advocates of choral music in the world and their budget probably equals one sports presenter’s salary. The BBC corporate spin on it is beyond belief. https://t.co/qVjgLi2gFg

Happy Equinox!

Please read on, have some za’atar and/or hug a vegetarian bisexual (it will be made clear…)
