LibDemCycling

For LibDem members and the LibDem curious who want to make cycling an easier choice for all.

[Heavy Metal Handcyclist @CrippledCyclist]

@gazza_d @2_Wheeled_Wolf @LibDemCycling Every single Santander Bike Hire Scheme cycle ("Boris Bikes") carries a clear and visible license plate.

It has never, ever, not even once been cited in a police report.

It is a waste of time.

Why Net Zero 2040? @LibDems must take this opportunity to show the courage in our convictions and set the standards in tackling the climate emergency before us https://t.co/RvgIC4hlz3 @Wera_Hobhouse @ThisLiberalAge @libdemlocalgov @YoungLiberalsUK @LibDemCycling @LibDemsinBiz

I hear the govt had been due to replace the 2/08 cycling infrastructure guidance with a new paper, due to have been launched at a conference in Essex this week. The minister, however, couldn't go because of the #BrexitShambles. When will we see it now @Phil_PJA?

[LibDemCycling @LibDemCycling]

Good to see that TfL is telling its contractors that cyclists need access unless it's impossible. Let's spread this practice across the country.

[LibDemCycling @LibDemCycling]

Going through my dusty old files here at Gladstone Towers and I came across this. It may be several years old but it’s just as relevant now. https://t.co/NvyEXgmiFw

UK should cut vehicle use to hit zero-carbon target, say MPs

@swyda @DavidHembrow @BicycleDutch @colvilleandersn @WeAreCyclingUK The danger there is you get cycle paths for the “not too confident” which are useless for everyone else.

[LibDemCycling @LibDemCycling]

What do you think? Time to use “fietser”?

Perhaps it would be a boost for utility #cycling.

After all, you don’t dress like Lewis H to drive to Tesco, so why go as Wiggo?

Can Civilization Survive What’s Coming?

"If nothing else, the new #IPCC report tells us that the world we all grew up in—and the world our parents and grandparents grew up in—is gone forever. There is no going back."

[Paul Dawson 📚 @PaulEDawson]

A global group of 415 investors managing $32 trillion in assets are warning that ignoring action against climate change could cause permanent economic damage up to four times the size of the 2008 financial crisis.

[LibDemCycling @LibDemCycling]

All councils of whatever colour should be looking at area-wide 20mph limits not zones. Lib Dem councillors should attend this conference to make sure they know the difference.

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

London is using 20mph limits as the foundation for its #VisionZero policy with @TfL VZ lead and @metpoliceuk . Also, transport leads from 3 London Boroughs together with @EUTransport , @WHO and @ETSC_EU experts on next decade speed management. All at our 10th conference

Anyone know a uni whose stats students could look into this as part of their course?

Protecting civilians and promoting peace by any means necessary, #UNMISS peacekeepers serving with the Mongolian battalion in Bentiu take to the road to Pariang and patrol on bicycles!

@tom_watson And if anyone from @ToryCycling, @LibDemCycling or @westmidlandsgp would like to join us tomorrow, it would be great to see you.

Just spotted that @LibDemCycling are on Twitter & have been for the last year 😳. Welcome.

Great for @ToryCycling & @LabourCycles to have some company in their attempts to persuade party members on the joys/benefits of more active travelling.

Good luck.
