The Cycling Partnership: A co-operative of well qualified instructors making cycling skills accessible to all

[Martin Porter KC @MartinPorter6]

I am genuinely baffled that some people will accept lockdowns to save lives but not lower speed restrictions to save lives.

[Birdy @BiddyBike]

When two women are discussing how their children can now cycle safely to school in Heavitree, then they can nip to work without needing to run & finance a car.

Let me get this right, @JustStop_Oil protestors blocking motor traffic is bad and they risk jail, but anti-ULEZ protestors who block motor traffic are good and will not be arrested and jailed?

Instead of telling someone who rides a bike how dangerous it is:
Look twice.
Stay on your side of the road, especially in corners.
Don't follow too closely.
Don't pull out when you do not have priority.
Keep your eyes on the road and off your phones.

[Caspar Hughes @caspar-hughes.bsky.social @countcaspargh]

Similar schemes have seen reductions:
- Road crashes & injuries
- Air Pollution
- Noise Pollution
- Crime rates

They also seen increases in:
- Kids playing & travelling on the streets
- Kids & adults being more active (leading to a healthier population)

Ian speaks sense.

@CoBikesElectric just found this bike dumped in a hedge on the outskirts of Rockbeare. Put it on my van and have docked it at Cranbrook St Martins station. Cheers.

@singerguy78 @CyclingInASkirt The middle of the lane (Primary Position) is advisable anywhere around junctions and narrow bits of road. Makes cyclist more visible and less likely someone will pass closely with several tons of machinery. Just off to teach exactly that to Primary Sch children.

@ASIAMTWEET @theJeremyVine If the van obscures the bus driver's sight of a cyclist lit up like a Christmas tree, as stated by many, then not enough clear sight to risk starting the turn. If the van obscures the drivers sightline, then also prevents the cyclist seeing any turn signal.

[Bicycal_Life @bicycal_life]

@fairbrass @PurpleMouse That's the difference between cyclists and those that 'only' drive, cyclists are statistically better drivers, they are more aware of their surroundings and are less likely to break traffic laws because we know our actions can have far reaching consequences on other road users.

[TCP Cycling @CyclingPartner]

@jeff_831 @cyclegaz Why would we need to need to as there is no danger to your life if a cyclist chooses to pass your vehicle closer than 1.5m. It is not cyclists who are killing 5 people every week.

Christmas is just around the corner, and our Chief Executive Elf has a special message...

Thank you to every inspiring instructor, tenacious trainee and outstanding organisation that made 2022 a record breaking year for Bikeability. This one's for you! 🌟

Right London. One good thing about the weather is it lets us see in *real life* how much space the traffic really uses. This is called a ‘Sneckdown’

Your mission - if you have a vantage point - is to send me all your Sneckdown photos for my files today! #londonsnow #sneckdown

[TCP Cycling @CyclingPartner]

@tigerroarcouk @theJeremyVine So, apart from left & right, what were the other two ways to look? Up & down maybe?

[TCP Cycling @CyclingPartner]

@Ashleyrose66 @DaveReidReading @theJeremyVine @RBKC @betterstreetskc You've posted that excerpt twice but don't seem to have actually read the very first sentence 🤔🤦🏻

[TCP Cycling @CyclingPartner]

@FidelUK @Michaelsmither4 @HappyHaringey No, children are not allowed on pavements.
Highway Code: "Rule 64
You MUST NOT cycle on a pavement.
Laws HA 1835 sect 72 & R(S)A sect 129"

@adamplewington @CyclingInASkirt "they moved slowly saw you.." because she was in the middle. That's the point of the tweet 🙄

Cartoon: Storage of private property in the street. From my book, 'From A to B'. I'm currently uploading images like this, so that they can be reused by members of my Diagram Club. More details here: https://t.co/xXBiTtIJFn

@Conserved2229 @CyclingInASkirt Why is footage needed? Worst scenario: driver ignored red light and crossed line. Best scenario: driver ignored amber warning light and crossed line knowing it's going red. Either way, bad driving.
