Is the idea to 'Open Up Tennis' by building fences? an oxymoron. Do we risk creating an activity enjoyed by an elite class? https://t.co/WP8LOlmLf8 #Wimbledon #tennis

CORRECTION please @bbctms #Bluey is a girl. This is important! I was very happy to show the cricket episode to my daughter -- she loves to recreate the games Bluey plays (and make me join in) so she's all the more interested in the game now.

. @ZaltzCricket @bbctms As Moeen re-joins England attack, is this the biggest gap in average age between specialist bowlers and specialist batters when the bowlers are older? Say top 5 v bottom 4 which is roughly 35 v 26 4/5ths (I didn’t do months and days) #TheAshes

@TheStealthDoc @the_LTA @ukwallball @JudyMurray @TimHenmanFDN According to @head_tennis @JudyMurray describes them as the perfect training partner and Andy did a 'Tennis Street Magic' advert for them a few years back. I'd love for @ActiveUrbanist work to focus on getting tennis and wallball closer to home.

[Matt Roebuck @SportsMattR]

@ukwallball @the_LTA You asked (on another platform) about whether it was something the Murrays would be into. I've used this video as inspiration in a couple of @ActiveUrbanist talks https://t.co/BIV7zAg3wT -- Andy Murray playing all sorts of Street Tennis in a @head_tennis advert.

@bbctms @BBCSounds @BBCSport Is there an overseas link for this game/today?

…@ThisIsMcCann Allez les bleus is a little non specific chant considering what I’d call a surprising kit colour of Blue, Blue and white from Turkiye … do we know the reason behind that choice?

@hayleylever @evefrancisholt I always like to celebrate democracy with a pint on the way home from my vote. I guess I’ll have to find a bar near a post box from now on.

You cannot claim to be climate conscious while being so car brained enough to do this.

I'm lucky enough here in the Netherlands to use a path like this everyday... a utility ride becomes a green, restorative ride as I take my girls to nursery. This can be done in the U.K. too.

[The Active Urbanist @ActiveUrbanist]

Its not always about equipment, sometimes its about an invitation to #play.

@modacitylife We’ve just done the same…hired my first Ov-fiets the other day and really enjoying it. Though if you’ve come across any ‘hacks’ for doing this to areas without train stations with 2 children 3-and-under I’m all ears.

Simple solution for cargo bike parking… a small ring in ground that lifts. Also works for mopeds. This at a train station, would also work in supermarkets, car parks, local shops etc.

Any recommendations for #Houten #activetravel #walking #cycling #beweegvriendlijke #gezondeleefomgeving #activeenvironments #urbansport

[The Active Urbanist @ActiveUrbanist]

Thinking of visiting Houten for an expo this week - what should I see in this ‘cycling heaven’ while I’m there? Should I take my Ov-fiets from Utrecht or Houten station? Not just active travel infrastructure but other movement-friendly environments would be great

@modacitylife Is it available to visitors?
