[Will Norman @willnorman]

I have no problems with a law on death by dangerous cycling – everyone must obey the rules of the road.

But in 2022, 1760+ people were killed on UK roads – 3 involved someone being hit by a bike.

What’s the gov plan for stopping 5 people being killed a day by motor vehicles?

🩺🚴‍♀️💨 Inspiring to see nurses from Guy's and St Thomas' using e-bikes to see up to 10 patients a day. "It reduces the time it takes to get to my patients," says a community nurse.

Nationalise the energy companies and use the billions in profit to help people with bills AND roll out solar, wind energy and home insulation.

Players and VIPs get ferried around #Wimbledon in electric SUVs, often getting stuck in traffic.

Not Cameron Norrie, the last Briton standing in the tournament. “I don’t own a car. It’s nice to beat the traffic and get a good warm up for sure.”

Intriguing new paper on e-bikes:

In the UK, replacing car trips with e-bikes could reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 24.4 metric tons/year. That's equivalent to ~1/5 the country's total CO₂ emissions from transport (source: https://t.co/mUWRY8gxzX).

A first in London, Camden is installing a cycle hangar (ie on street protected parking spot) specially adapted for a disabled resident. Adapted bikes can support overcoming disabilities and increase mobility in a more sustainable way. Congrats to Camden 🎉@Wheels4Well
