Managed to get out for #volunteerweek and volunteer for @SustransSouth on the Bristol Bath Railway Path and my community in a local nature reserve. Great to speak with so many people who use these spaces. Grateful that my employer allows #volunteer days @nationaltrust

5 years ago, we launched London's Cycle Action Plan. We now have a 340km network of cycleways and there are 1.2m daily journeys by bike.
Today, on #CleanAirDay, we're restating our commitment to make London greener, cleaner and healthier with a new updated cycle plan ...
