Most of my ideas are dismissed as too radical for #Birmingham (a shame as city forefathers Chamberlain and Cadbury were pioneers of pioneering!) But, if city leaders just consider one example adopted by another second city, please watch this @BrumLeader@andy4wm
If you are a city leader with power and you aren't building more segregated cycle lanes you are failing your city. We have all the knowledge and data we need we just need your action now. #MondayMotivation
@Olly4Northfield We need to be way more radical and stop following and start leading. If CAZ works, we'll have way too much tarmac in the ring road so let's: 1. Close Digbeth High St to cars entirely up to Alcester St. It's already excessively wide/ never busy but awful to cross/ cycle down.
@KingsHeathCAN@KingsHeathRF to reduce air pollution we should be looking at a wider neighbourhood scheme which also creates #healthystreets and gives people alternatives to the car....
Amazing evidence that Waltham Forest’s mini-Holland programme, that we fund, is improving air quality and increasing the life expectancy of children 🚴 🚶♀️ 🌳

Recently @gehlinstitute & @RWJF launched the Inclusive Healthy Places Framework: a tool for evaluating & creating healthy inclusive public spaces - drawing on ideas from cities like #Copenhagen!

How Seville built a bike network with public input and support. Well worth a look for Mayoral candidates @joymorrissey@AndrewBoff@ShaunBaileyUK. Feel free to ask Jesse Norman as well, as he went to visit and will have further info and connections to the Seville City Govt.
You can’t underestimate the significance of this simple finding: Suddenly, a crossing could go from £40,0000 to £400 meaning cash strapped authorities could afford to make streets people friendly on-mass. If government OK’s it...
These are the kinds of cities we could live in, the current car culture is just a choice, we can change it. Would love to @andy4wm start with car free day a month, to give our region a taste of what this magic could be like. Thank you so much for this magic @RideLondon.
If you see someone around #stirchley, #cotteridge, #B30 with this custom Dolan bike - it's not theirs. Please keep your eyes peeled. Might be being walked around as currently not rideable
Someone stole our Matt's bike from Stirchley early this morning. It has a very distinctive paint job so please keep an eye out and retweet.

Just received this fantastic image from colleagues @CanalRiverTrust. The widened route through Edgbaston tunnel looks to be nearly complete. Should reopen to public next weekend. A great option for walking, jogging and cycling about to get even better!
