'Play is not something that can be scheduled. Kids exist in a state of playfulness—they need to be able to shift in and out of play whenever they feel like it.'

Periodic reminder that building bike lanes is not a technical challenge.

It is a political one!

[SafeStreetsNow @StreetsSafeNow]

Will we see other towns and cities following suit?

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

ULEZ works.

Expanding the ULEZ wasn’t an easy decision, but the latest evidence shows it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

Good to see European support for 30kmh and 20mph limits based on evidence from across the continent.

I am sure ⁦@ronanofficial⁩ speaks for many: “you can kill a man .. & walk free .. & we wonder why we keep seeing this kind of behaviour on our roads .. why people are dying” on our roads. I am so sorry & thank you speaking out! #StopRoadDeath https://t.co/NO1lYAYMIA

Would you like a reduction of 28% in urban/village road casualties and £50 pa in car insurance premiums from a simple intervention across your community. Find out how Wales achieved this at our free webinar 26th Feb. Register at https://t.co/XbkqmqYoGN

Bradford St. cycle way now a car park, no @BhamCityCouncil enforcement. Can we have enforcement officers please? @Bradford_St_Bhm @ChaundlerSarah @gardensinboots @for_birmingham @BCC_Help @xerxes12n @SmallHeathWMP

[London Cycling Campaign @London_Cycling]

So many people are killed cycling in London and we never even know their name.

A man in his 20s was killed cycling in Stratford last month. Come protest next Monday 24 February. Nobody should cycle out the door and not come home.

Our cities do not need driverless cars.
They desperately need more carless drivers!

[Better Streets for Birmingham is no longer on X @for_birmingham]

Our heartfelt thoughts go out to the family and friends of man killed in a collision last night in Hall Green. The city's road safety emergency - now in its 196th day - is far from over. Rest in peace. https://t.co/WvvoHeSbq7

[Living Streets Edinburgh @LivingStreetsEd]

We’re calling for better walking routes between Gorgie and Roseburn, where pedestrians are squeezed onto tiny footways on Roseburn St and Westfield Rd, especially on match days at #Tynecastle and #Murrayfield. Also @RoseburnPS.

The Highway Code changes three years on… and it’s not looking great

Most drivers wrongly believe cyclists must ride single file, stay close to the kerb, and use cycle lanes – and one in three say they shouldn’t have equal rights, survey finds

If we take road safety seriously, the Hierarchy of Controls shows us what we have to do.

If you start at the bottom, you have a different agenda.

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

"Cycling is not a practical daily travel option for most people"

In 2022, 26% of car trips in the UK were shorter than 1 mile, and 71% were under 5 miles.

A 5-mile bike ride takes around 30 minutes.

Provide people with the option to cycle and build more safe infrastructure

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

Its good to see London Borough of Newham has completed its 20mph roll-out. Another London Borough that's a safer and better place to be with a 20mph limit as a norm.

Safe streets for little feet shouldn’t be an afterthought, @ReadingCouncil @WokinghamBC please consider pedestrians as well as drivers

[Cllr Rob White (Green Party, Park Ward) @cllrrobwhite]

#rdguk Council and Wokingham Council need to stop dragging their feet and get on with installing a pedestrian crossing for Church Road near the Three Tuns crossroads. Crossing here is dangerous. Well done Kat for organising this protest and everyone for attending

What are you afraid of?

Sharks🦈, lions🦁,bears🐻? Terrifying.

Car traffic kills way more people than animals ever could. Even when excluding indirect harm. Watch out for the real predators🚗!

[SafeStreetsNow @StreetsSafeNow]

@MakRgr @London_Cycling While this is really disturbing cars are still more dangerous than this isolated incident.
