5pm, just past Blackfriars Bridge and wonderful to see so many pedestrians, cyclists and buses. In fact not a car in sight. Thank you @London_Cycling @StopKillingCycl @TfL @CarolineRussell & everyone else who has worked so hard to get to this point #cycling #sustainable

@RoryStewartUK I was disappointed re: your position against wind turbines in Cumbria. Your view is very short term, you’ve not considered climate risks facing the region, the need for a just transition or an alternative decarbonisation strategy #ClimateAction

Zaragoza, Spain.

Nowhere near as disruptive as sprinkling some orange confetti on a tennis court, obviously. 🙄

Enough is enough. These cars need to be banned. I have an eight year old and I cannot begin to imagine what the family of this young girl are going through. So very angry and upset by this. @LandRover_UK take responsibility and act now

Earlier this month I went to the London Cargo Bike Festival with @KarenGee3. She wrote a great piece to counter all the whataboutisms https://t.co/6VfFz70wS9

Great day out #CargoBikeSummit with @WineRides . Every kid was smiling as they got ridden around, hope it leads to many more cargo bikers @landor_links & lovely to meet @CycleSprog

This morning a 12-year-old boy was hit by a lorry driver while cycling to school.

This is 10 weeks after a man was critically injured while 🚲 by a lorry driver at exactly the same place.

This. Is. NOT. Okay. 🚨 Demand action on #DangerousJunctions now

@RestIsPolitics I was struck by the fact that your commentary about climate change was immediately followed by adverts for Ford and Uber. Perhaps a moment to reflect on how your advertising choices could better align with the climate agenda?

@angus_f_h Alex and I did Strasbourg then a cycle tour many many years ago! Loved it. Last year we went to Aix en Provence which is a gorgeous town and likewise hired a car to explore. This year we are heading by train to La Rochelle then onto Ile de Re..can’t wait

[Hayley Baines-Buffery @HayleyBuffery]

@angus_f_h Have a great trip Angus! It was much more civilised from flying. We took the kids on Eurostar and TGV to the south of France last year and doing the same again this year…youngest rides free which is a bonus!

@WorldBollard @WineRides I’m in, do we get to pick our favourite bollard?

[Hayley Baines-Buffery @HayleyBuffery]

Council tax up by another 4.2% is hard enough to stomach… but this pathetic excuse for a #climatechange strategy is a disgrace. @MVLibDems not a single mention of home insulation, walking or cycling & you are wasting time replacing plastic bottles with cans at local theatre!

[Hayley Baines-Buffery @HayleyBuffery]

This week Alex @winerides & Karen @CycleSprog are in conversation about #stopputin and the important role of cycling in a fossil fuel free future…plus a few cycling anecdotes & the latest in family cycling. https://t.co/iZmHOez4pl

[Hayley Baines-Buffery @HayleyBuffery]

Very proud to share my husband @WineRides podcast & this episode is on balance bikes. https://t.co/plFIG4Ftjb I think the content is very positive, practical & enjoyable to listen to. Happy listening & grateful to anyone who can share & spread the word #cycling #familyfun

If anyone wants to know how to get the most out of cycling with your kids in winter, then I highly recommend this podcast:

The best line in this: “I would if you were wearing a helmet.”

It's crazy that I have to point this out, but because a group of people have raised £50,000 to get this cycle lane ripped out I do need to say it: children can move up and down my high street safely now that #C9 is built. In London this feels like a revelation! Just watch:

#BREAKINGNEWS We are quadrupling the climate aid NZ provides to the countries most affected by the climate crisis.

We will provide $1.3b over the next 4 years with at least 50% going to the Pacific. This means NZ is now providing its fair share towards global climate funding.
