You might be wondering if we can afford to invest in accessible active travel in these straitened times ... but in fact the real question is whether we can afford *not* to

As the long Easter weekend gets underway with road, rail, air and sea chaos, one form of holiday transport remains blissfully unaffected - and fortunately it's sustainable, healthy and benefits the local communities we visit... https://t.co/MUCnsQAtlI

Wit h so much going on in the world, is a campaign focusing on accessible active travel something of a distraction? We believe it's more important than ever because sustainable transport can help with so many pressing issues as our briefings show https://t.co/42zHY4l8Hy

[Henk Swarttouw @copenhenken]

The 2022 #IPCC Report says “cities also provide opportunities for climate action (…) sustainable transport systems that connect urban and rural areas can all lead to a more inclusive, fairer society.” I don’t think they mean electric cars…

Great to see one of our supporting organisation, the Hijabi Riders, hitting the headlines with their wonderful story of cycling, freedom and faith - and they are now enabling more women to try cycling❤️

What are your favourite paths and cycleways around Scotland? What would you like to see more of? One of our co-ordinators has this new path emerging on one of her regular routes and she would like #MoreOfThisPlease as it will enable her to cycle in safety with her son 🚲🚶👩‍🦽👨‍🦼

[Linda Bamford (she/her) 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌈👩‍🦽 @LindaBamford151]

I do love the accessibility of the paths along our @scottishcanals & the new trails around Loch Morlich @cairngormsnews

Great paths around @DiscoverKelpies & @HelixFalkirk too.

Love using all these accessible paths for a wheel 👩‍🦽with my doggies - great mental health boosters.

Join us to highlight the need for safe fit for purpose on-road cycling infrastructure for women and girls so that we can move around the city easily and confidently on cycles at all times of the day and night. #CycleWithUs #LightUpTheNight #VAW

[WCFS @WCFScot]

The Edinburgh #FWBR is part of #ClimateFringeWeek because more women on more cycles more often is a powerful way to fight climate change - you can see all the other @ClimateFringe events at https://t.co/CbvfQG1Xla

We're delighted to be supporting the Edinburgh #FancyWomenBikeRide again this year. Joining with women in cities all over the world to take the streets by colourful storm #FWBR

A few weeks ago during the Olympics I shared an inspiring story about the courage and determination of the women cyclists of Afghanistan. Now they need our help. https://t.co/JfSh5r2gO9

Gutting. The Forest Road lane is due to be part of the #FancyWomenBikeRide route next month. This is a seriously retrograde step in Edinburgh

[Pedal On Parliament @POPScotland]

In 2019 one of our pop-up Pops was human bike lane on Forest Road, which is one of those measures slated for removal. Don't let @Edinburgh_CC go back to the past...
